basex-api-7.0-SNAPSHOT.war problems
by Andy Bunce 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Hi Just gave this a quick try on tomcat 6 ubuntu 10.10 Apache Tomcat/6.0.28 1.6.0_26-b03 Sun Microsystems Inc. Linux 2.6.35-30-generic i386 It would not load, the logs had the message Tomcat6 error : jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: ... Following this<http://www.simplysimple.info/tomcat-error-jar-not-loaded-servlet-spec-23-se…>I removed servlet-api-2.5.20081211.jar from the war and got a bit further Hitting permission problems Saving properties in "/usr/share/tomcat6/.basex"... /usr/share/tomcat6/.basex could not be written. Should it be attempting to save stuff here? /Andy

Hi Jens, As per Ralf's note I do not see any more ports opened by the server process, but the configuration is working well for serverhost as localhost as well as other IPs. Apologies for the late test. tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:1984 :::* LISTEN 3687/java tcp6 0 0 127.0.0.1:1985 :::* LISTEN 3687/java Thanks Loke On 10/5/11, developer loke <developer.loke(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Jens, > I will try the new update from git. > > -Loke > > On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 3:30 PM, > <basex-talk-request(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de> wrote: >> Send BaseX-Talk mailing list submissions to >> basex-talk(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de >> >> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >> https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/mailman/listinfo/basex-talk >> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >> basex-talk-request(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de >> >> You can reach the person managing the list at >> basex-talk-owner(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de >> >> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >> than "Re: Contents of BaseX-Talk digest..." >> >> >> Today's Topics: >> >> 1.

node.js interface?
by Andy Bunce 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi, I wonder if you have any plans to add a Node.js interface to the basex-api client set? I think this could be very useful. In design terms I imagine it might look very similar the Redis client https://github.com/bnoguchi/redis-node. /Andy

Basex HTTP server : path not found error
by Erol Akarsu 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Christian, I am trying to set up Basex HTTP server and run some xquery scripts through REST style. In http://docs.basex.org/wiki/REST#Usage_Examples, we have example http://localhost:8984/rest/factbook/index.xq to run index.xq scripts. Where are we keeping xquery scripts? In .basex configuration file, we have DBPATH = /Users/xxx/BaseXData HTTPPATH = /Users/xxx/BaseXHTTP REPOPATH = /Users/xx/BaseXRepo Which one is for folder that keeps xquery scripts? Above query returns "Path does not exist." error. I have compiled the recent version of Basex and use it on Mac OSX Lion 64 bit. Thanks Erol Akarsu

basex configuration file

05 Oct '11

Hi. I am looking for options to configure the server as documented in the Wiki, but I can not find .basex file anywhere, and there seems to be no documentation on the Wiki. I am specifically looking for settings to bind the server to a particular IP address. Thanks Loke

Final update on BaseX 6.8
by Christian Grün 03 Oct '11

03 Oct '11

Dear all, the final deadline of BaseX 6.8 will be October 14th. Be sure this won't be an ordinary release.. ;) Thanks to your feedback, our new REST API has undergone some more changes: -- XQuery files that are stored in the database will now be evaluated instead of being retrieved as raw file. -- all binary resources will now be returned with their correct content (mime) type -- variables don't have to be prefixed with a dollar sign anymore Find some more information at: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/REST Next, thanks to the contributions of Toshio HIRAI, our full-text engine can now be used to tokenize Japanese text corpora: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Full-Text#Languages Have fun, Christian ___________________________ BaseX Team Christian Grün Uni KN, Box 188 D-78457 Konstanz http://www.basex.org

testing external variables in the gui
by Randy reed 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

I'm new to XQUERY so perhaps I misunderstand how to do what I want. I'm trying to pass an external value to a variable in the query. I declared the variable as external at the top. Like this: declare variable $inputstud as xs:string* external; My understanding is that I now execute the program like this java -cp basex-6.8-SNAPSHOT.jar org.basex.BaseX ~/MyDocuments/Dropbox/student_ind_detail.xq -binputstud=900426517 then in the where of my query I do where $u/ID eq $x/USERID and $u/IDNUMBER eq $inputstud Unfortunately, for some reason this doesn't work. I'd like to try this in the gui of basex to see if I can figure out what has gone wrong, but I can't figure out how to pipe external variable to the Gui, is there a way. Thanks Randy -- Dr. Randall Reed Assistant Professor, Dept. of Philosophy and Religion Appalachian State University

SQL for Basex
by Erol Akarsu 01 Oct '11

01 Oct '11

I am testing SQL functions in upcoming basex 6.8. I downloaded snapshot and run it against oracle and provided oracle jdbc driver. But it could not find driver. I am using MAC OSX Lion Here is how I execute: java -cp ~/workspace/lib/ojdbc14.jar -jar ~/Desktop/basex-6.8-SNAPSHOT.jar let $url := "jdbc:oracle:thin@xxx.com:1521/b2bdev" (: let $l := sql:init("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver") :) let $ll := sql:connect($url) return $ll Result Query: let $url := "jdbc:oracle:thin@xxx.com:1521/b2bdev" (: let $l := sql:init("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver") :) let $ll := sql:connect($url) return $ll Error: [FOSQ0001] An SQL exception occurred: 'No suitable driver found for jdbc:oracle:thin@xxx.com:1521/b2bdev' Thanks Erol Akarsu On Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 8:30 PM, developer loke <developer.loke(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Hi.
