QueryProcessor's result has 'restructured ns declarations'
by Erdal Karaca 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi all, I have this file (simplified): <r:root xmlns:r="r" xmlns:x="x" xmlns:y="y" xmlns:z="z"> <x:x/> <y:y/> <z:z/> </r:root> I have created a new database from that file (using Java API) and checked in the GUI that the file's contents are as "expected" by querying the root of the database. Now, when using the QueryProcessor API to query the root of the database, I will get this re-structured namespaces xml: <r:root xmlns:r="r"> <x:x xmlns:x="x"/> <y:y xmlns:y="y"/> <z:z xmlns:z="z"/> </r:root> How can I prevent this behavior? Is there a setting to provide to the QueryProcessor? Thanks!

SAXSerializer does not transmit namespace declarations as attributes
by Erdal Karaca 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi all, I am using the SAXSerializer to generate SAX events from an org.basex.query.value.item.Item instance. The Item instance represents the database doc's root in this specific case: <r:root xmlns:r="r" xmlns:x="x" x:attr="test"> </r:root> It seems that when the following method is called: org.xml.sax.ContentHandler.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes) the attributes map is missing namespace declarations (I would expect the ns declarations to be mapped to attributes). I.e. the above r:root element will be provided with just the x:attr in the attributes map, but not the xmlns:x as attribute. Do you have any solutions for this issue? How do I get the namespaces when startElement() is executed? Thanks!

Opened by another process
by Paul Swennenhuis 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Why would I get a bxerr:BXDB0007 error "Database 'profiles' cannot be updated, as it is opened by another process" when executing these commands from a BaseX client: open profiles; xquery insert node <profile>abc</profile> into /profiles Where "profiles" is an existing database, and /profiles an existing root element, and I am quite positive that the database is NOT being used in another process? When I issue these commands on localhost it is working fine. Paul

IDs management
by Ioan Fericel 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hello all, I would like to ask your advice on the best practice to use the IDs in BaseX, somewhat in the classic style of relationships between records in different nodes or documents. I have not found a simple way to create autoincrement IDs, and indexes generated by BaseX I understand that it's possible to suffer changes in case of optimization actions or database recovery. So I can not count on them. I try to do it using attributes as unique identifiers in repetitive elements, like: <products> . . . <product id="123" name="abc" description="xyz"/> <product id="124" name="bbbb" description="xxxxxxx"/> </products> <product-template> <product id="" name="" description="" ... /> </product-template> When adding a new product, I need to calculate the max from products/product/@id, incremented by 1 and replaced with this value (125) the id of the product template. After that, the updated product template should be inserted in the node products. I try to do all this in a single restxq function, in many ways, but fail. Please give me, first, an general idea of how the problem should be approached in working with BaseX. Many thanks, Ioan

Connecting to BaseX with PHP client
by Paul Swennenhuis 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hi, I have successfully deployed BaseX on an Amazon Web Services instance using the "Elastic Beanstalk application container" and the BaseX79.WAR distribution. The REST interface works as is demonstrated by going to http://drpbasex2.elasticbeanstalk.com/rest/?run=xq/countries.xq&country=^a Now I try to connect to BaseX using the PHP implementation of a BaseX Client (BaseXClient.php). I can't figure out what connection parameters to use though. For "host" I tried drpbasex2.elasticbeanstalk.com (the web address), ec2-54-93-168-77.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com (used for SSH connecting) and 54.93.168.77 (the public IP address Amazon Web Services indicates for this instance) For "port" I tried 1984 (default) and 8984 For "user" and "password" I used the BaseX defaults (admin/admin) I tried any combination of the above parameters but I always get an "can't connect to targe computer" in the socket_connect() line of BaseXClient.php (running from localhost) I can think of a number of reasons why the connection is refused: Credentials Should the credentials be something different from admin/admin? Should I maybe actively set credentials for the REST interface in web.xml? Inbound ports In the BaseX instance on Amazon Web Services(AWS) I can configure ports for inbound traffic, for example port 22 for SSH access. It might be needed to allow access for port 1984 or 8984, but the only way to do that is to use a 'Custom TCP' protocol. I already did that and it makes no difference. What protocol should be used? No connection allowed from localhost? Maybe connecting from localhost is not allowed? Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated. Paul

Origimi 0.3: Extractors
by Marc van Grootel 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hi, I just tagged the code for Origami as 0.3 (https://github.com/xokomola/origami) In this 'release' I added Extractors. With these you can build node extraction functions from composable selectors. This still doesn't make Origimi a full templating library but it's starting to be useful, for example, for screen-scraping HTML as I will show in an upcoming blog post. I did have to let go of BaseX 7.9 compatibility which means it now only runs on recent snapshots (I tested on yesterday's snapshot). It may work on older snapshots but I do not know which. Welcome to the cutting edge ;-) Happy to receive comments and improvements. --Marc

fn:outermost bug?
by Marc van Grootel 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Hi, I think I bumped into a bug (on 8.0 snapshot) let $input := <ul> <li id="first">item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> <li id="last">item 3</li> </ul> return outermost(( $input//li[@id = 'last'], $input//li, $input//li[@id = 'first'] )) => <li id="first">item 1</li> <li>item 2</li> <li id="last">item 3</li> <li id="last">item 3</li> <li id="last">item 3</li> This is in document order but duplicates are not eliminated. The same happens with fn:innermost. According to the spec[1] "takes as input a sequence of nodes, and returns every node within the sequence that does not have another node within the sequence as an ancestor; the nodes are returned in document order with duplicates eliminated."

Benutzung von LDAP-Autorisation in BASEX
by Michael Otto 12 Nov '14

Hallo. Zum Betrieb einer RESTXQ webapp wurde mir die Authentifikation mit LDAB nahe gelegt. Mit der BASEX-Dokumentation komme ich nicht wirklich weiter... Existiert eine Anleitung für Laien? Vielen Dank im Voraus Michael Otto
