...even better! Can you specify '/' as path? Am 22.08.2017 4:02 nachm. schrieb "Britney Fox" <britfox42(a)hotmail.com>: Hi, REPLACE command already works correctly with .tar.gz :) It just add a path at the start of the database tree. This for example: REPLACE path "/Users/DB/file.tar.gz" Add path for every directories found in the archive to the database... if path could be the database root or optional it would be perfect :)

The BaseX REPLACE command and archives
by Britney Fox 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hi, I would like to use BaseX for a database and the daily updates are .tar.gz files which inlude .xml inside directories. Of course, the directories need to match the ones inside the database. Unfortunately, the BaseX REPLACE command absolutly need a path so it makes the update fail since the path is added. So, is there a solution using BaseX ? Thanks.

bug in XPath evaluation
by nikos dimitrakas 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

Hi! I discovered a strange behavior i BaseX (8.6.5): I evaluate //S/@k/parent::* or //S/@k/.. and it works I evaluate //S[.//@m="V"] and it works But when I evaluate //S/@k/parent::*[.//@m="V"] or //S/@k/..[.//@m="V"] it does not work. There is no error, just no result. At first I thought that there was an error with going to a parent of an attribute node, but that works. Then I thought the problem was with ".//@" in the predicate, but that also works. It appears that it is the combination that confuses the engine. Here is an xml to test the above expressions: <Root> <S k="AAA"> </S> <S k="AA"> </S> <S k="D"> </S> <S k="C"> </S> <S k="AAA"> </S> <S k="AA"> </S> <S k="C"> </S> <S k="AAA"> </S> <S k="AA"> </S> </Root> I hope you can find the problem and fix it in a new version soon. Regards /nikos

RESTXQ %input:csv annotation
by Kendall Shaw 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

The example produces an error saying it can’t convert string to document node: declare %rest:path("/store.csv") %rest:POST("{$csv}") %input:csv("header=true,encoding=CP1252") function page:store-csv($csv as document-node()) { "Number of rows: " || count($csv/csv/record) }; I can just change the function signature and parse the string with csv:parse, but is the example missing a detail (or am I missing a detail)? I used this to store CSV data in the default format. curl –XPOST –H’Content-Type: text/csv’ –data @some.csv http://example.com/basex/store.csv Kendall

Keep the comments when parsing HTML?
by Graydon Saunders 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Hello -- So I have a pile of near-XML HTML with semantically significant comments to deal with. (I must have been sinning much more than I realized!) Using BaseX866-20170818.124137, BaseX will parse the content but all the comments go away. This is with passing the "lexical" option on the parser tab where it asks for TagSoup options, which I understand from https://github.com/orbeon/tagsoup/blob/master/trunk/README to pass through comments (and DOCTYPE declarations). How do I parse HTML and keep the comments? Thanks! Graydon

%input:csv annotation
by Kendall Shaw 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Trying to use the example, in the RESTXQ section of the documentation: declare %rest:path("/store.csv") %rest:POST("{$csv}") %input:csv("header=true,encoding=CP1252") function page:store-csv($csv as document-node()) { "Number of rows: " || count($csv/csv/record) }; Using: curl -i -XPOST –data @test.csv<mailto:data@test.csv> -H’Content-Type: text/csv’ http://blah/basex/store.csv The result is [XPTY0004] Cannot cast xs:string to document-node() I can just invoke csv:parse but, is the example missing a detail?

Java 9 support?
by Chris West 19 Aug '17

19 Aug '17

Debian and Ubuntu are looking to move to Java 9 for their next releases, for all possible packages. basex currently fails to build with Java 9 due to some rather boring errors: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.6.1:compile (default-compile) on project basex: Compilation failure: Compilation failure: [ERROR] /build/basex-8.5.1/basex-core/src/main/java/org/basex/query/func/inspect/Inspect.java:[34,3] reference to Module is ambiguous [ERROR] both class org.basex.query.Module in org.basex.query and class java.lang.Module in java.lang match [ERROR] /build/basex-8.5.1/basex-core/src/main/java/org/basex/gui/GUIInput.java:[253,13] incompatible types: javax.swing.JComboBox<java.lang.String> cannot be converted to javax.swing.JComboBox<java.lang.Object> [ERROR] /build/basex-8.5.1/basex-core/src/main/java/org/basex/query/func/crypto/MyKeySelector.java:[51,44] incompatible types: java.util.List<javax.xml.crypto.XMLStructure> cannot be converted to java.util.List<java.lang.Object> Would there be any interest in fixing these? The website suggests that any version of Java is supported, and Java 9 will be out soon (~31 days). I can have a go at a pull request, but I'd not heard of basex before today, so maybe someone else would like a stab at it. I had a quick poke through the mailing list archives, and can't see any other discussion about this; sorry if it's been brought up before. Chris.

Reading JSON
by Giuseppe Celano 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Hi, I have noticed different speeds when running the following functions (from slowest to fastest): parse-json(unparsed-text('example.txt')) json-doc("example.txt") parse-json(file:read-text('example.txt')) similarly for documents on the web: parse-doc('http://example.com/text') parse-json(fetch:text('http://example.com/text')) Does this make sense to you? Is there any recommendation to follow? Despite the runtime speed difference, I admit I love writing one single function (json-doc) to get map conversion. Everything is so immediate :) Best, Giuseppe Universität Leipzig Institute of Computer Science, Digital Humanities Augustusplatz 10 04109 Leipzig Deutschland E-mail: celano(a)informatik.uni-leipzig.de E-mail: giuseppegacelano(a)gmail.com Web site 1: http://www.dh.uni-leipzig.de/wo/team/ Web site 2: https://sites.google.com/site/giuseppegacelano/
