This may not be quite what you're asking for.  However:
Kawa-XQuery (www.qexo.org) can co-exist quite well with Java.

For example you can call Java methods and create Java objects
from XQuery:

<p>Today is <code>{make("java.util.Date")}</code></p>

You can also evaluate XQuery expressions from Java, and
use the result in Java.

This all uses the existing Kawa framework, which has supported
mixing Java and Scheme (compiled to bytecodes) for years.
