Insert into ExistDB using Java

I'm having issues inserting a new node into exist-db using Java.

If I run this Xquery from eXide it will run fine and will insert the new department:

update insert < DEP_ROW >< DEPT_NO >1< /DEPT_NO >< DNOMBRE >A< /DNOMBRE >< LOC >A< /LOC >< /DEP_ROW > into /departamentos

However, if I try to do it from Java it says that there's a syntax error. The code is:

    String queryString = "update insert <DEP_ROW><DEPT_NO>1</DEPT_NO><DNOMBRE>A</DNOMBRE><LOC>A</LOC></DEP_ROW> into /departamentos";

    consulta = conn.prepareExpression(queryString);
    consulta.executeQuery();

And the error is:

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.xquery.XQException:
XQJQS001 - Invalid XQuery syntax, syntax does not pass static 
validation.
Root Cause:
XQueryParseException: Encountered "insert" at line 1, column 8.
Was expecting one of:
<EOF> 
"%%%" ...
"=" ...
"," ...
"or" ...
"and" ...
"to" ...
"*" ...

I was having the exact same problem as Yeray and came across this post. I have now found a solution, so I'm back to share my code, which I hope can help Yeray, or someone else.

public class InsertDepartment {

public static final String DRIVER = "org.exist.xmldb.DatabaseImpl";
public final static String URI = "xmldb:exist://localhost:8080/exist/xmlrpc";
public final static String COLLECTION = "/db/first_steps";
public final static String USERNAME = "admin";
public final static String PASSWORD = "";

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    String value = "";

    Class cl = Class.forName(DRIVER);
    Database database = (Database) cl.newInstance();
    DatabaseManager.registerDatabase(database);
    Collection col = DatabaseManager.getCollection(URI + COLLECTION, USERNAME, PASSWORD);

    int depNumber = 42;
    String depName = "Department 42";
    String depAddress = "42 Galaxy Avenue, Betelgueuse 23458 OH";

    String sQuery = "update insert <department><dep_number>" + depNumber
            + "</dep_number><dep_name>" + depName + "</dep_name><dep_address>"
            + depAddress + "</dep_address></department> into /departments";

    EXistXQueryService service = (EXistXQueryService) col.getService("XQueryService", "1.0");
    service.setProperty("indent", "yes");
    service.query(sQuery);
}

Note that for this code to work, I ended up with the following list of libraries in my project. Some may not be required for this code to work.

exist-xqj-1.0.1.jar
j8fu-1.21.jar
log4j-1.2-api-2.11.0.jar
log4j-api-2.11.0.jar
log4j-core-2.11.0.jar
log4j-jul-2.11.0.jar
log4j-slf4j-impl-2.11.0.jar
org.apache.commons.pool.jar
org-apache-commons-logging.jar
ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar
xmldb-api-1.7.0.jar
xmlrpc-client-3.1.3.jar
xmlrpc-common-3.1.3.jar
xqj2-0.0.1.jar
xqjapi.jar
exist.jar
exist-optional.jar

Also, I had to add the file log4j2.xml to the src folder of my project. You can find a sample of this file in this post.
