Regarding reverse proxy option in BaseX
by prabhjeet kaur 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Dear Sir I have a question that is there any option in BaseX to collect queries and incoming request from users and applications before it hits the BaseX database server. Or there is any reverse proxy type of thing between web server and BaseX server to capture all the incoming traffic before it hits the database. Or there is any way to do this. I have gone through various things but not got the right option. Kindly, answer for the same. Regards, Prabhjeet Kaur

Hi Erol, I assume you wanted to open a new thread; this is why I changed the subject. > I am not able use map in xquery scripts in current basex version. How can I > create a map and add values to it? Give us more information on your code, please. > I remember I was creating map with previous versions of Basex. Can you > remind my how? Check out older Wiki entries by parsing the history or downloading the documentation in the pdf format. > I had to download the latest snaphost of Basex 8.0 and run basexguui.bat but > getting error org.basex.BaseXGUI class could not be found. I can't reproduce this. Do you talk about the "basexgui.bat" file, or is the typo intentional? Christian

Corruption?
by Gerald de Jong 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hello Folks, Is there anything I can do when opening my database results in "Datbase blabla is being updated, or update was not completed."? A program was pumping serious amounts of XML into BaseX with a few processes concurrently and then things seem to have gone haywire - big CPU usage for a long time but that's all. Nothing seems to tell me what's wrong, and now I don't know how to find out, or maybe hopefully repair. I've killed the server, and now I just run bin/basex to look around. But it seems I can't even find out what went wrong. I'd like to know what went on I can prevent this next time. Do you think the problem was too much concurrency, or not enough memory, or something else? Any clues? - Gerald PS.

No xquery results
by Michael Hancock 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi, Hope I'm asking this question to the correct people. I'm an absolute beginner to BaseX and I've run into a problem. I have created a collection from 50 BIRT report definition files (with the post-fix of "rptdesign") - the collection can be visualised and navigated in the GUI without issue. But I cant seem to run any xquery commands against the database. The queries all return a result of zero rows. Do you have any idea why this might be the case? (Even a basic "//parameters" query returns no rows.) FYI - I have created a factbook database and this works as expected so I'm guessing the issue is in the xml implementation within the "rptdesign" documents but I need some help in finding/resolving the problem. Sorry for the very basic question but any help would be much appreciated. I'm running V 7.9. Best regards.

Transaction (rollback)
by Julien Charon 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi everybody, I have questions regarding transactions in basex. To provide a context, we have following requirements in our application that uses basex: when executing any update or replace operations, we need to validate the modified XML structures against the corresponding schemas. We only want the result of the update / replace operations to be saved in basex, if the resulting XML structures are valid. So, what we first thought of was creating a transaction, executing the update/replace operations, perform the validation, and if the result of the operations result in invalid XML, perform a rollback. Now we weren't able to find documentation concerning rollback, the only documentation we found is http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Transaction_Management, which does not mention rollback. So my questions are: 1. Is there a rollback functionality and where can I find documentation? 2. If there is no rollback functionality, is it planned for upcoming releases? 3. Are there best practices for the requirements described above? Note: using the validation module is not an option, as apparently only single schemas / schema files are supported and our application schemas are quite complex and located in several schemas, so validation has to be performed in our application.

Re: [basex-talk] Proxy port with basex

Hi Furqan (cc to the list), sorry for letting you wait. > how ever what i intend to do is that,after the query is issued from the web > application for the basex -db running on port 8984,i want to capture it > before it hits the database,in order to evaluate malacious queries..... What should happen in your opinion if a query is malicious? Would you like to prevent its execution, or would you rather want to be able to track that a malicious query has been evaluated at some stage? In the latter case, you could check out the log files [1], in which all commands and server requests will be listed. > So i was wondering if this would be possible using a reverse-proxy in front > of basex-db,such that all the traffic intended for the database would be > passed thrugh my proxy......say on port 80 > Or if there is any other way i could do it. > Basex comes with an option of proxy port and proxy host...will they work for > the scenerio that i described. > i mean if i set the proxy port of basex to be port 80 :where my appache or > nginx server would be running > ,will the queries from web application (xpath n xquery),pass through that > server running on port 80...... I guess that the BaseX proxy options won't help you there, because these mainly exist to handle firewall restrictions. Hope this helps, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Logging > i tried out nginx without setting proxy port of basex ,but it gives n error > as nginx runs on port 80 and i want it to monitor traffic of port > 8994(basix),and at this port already basex server is running cuz of which my > nginx server cant listen to traffic (the error i got was a access > /permission error)n i guess it was cuz basex had permission rights over the > port.... > > i would greatly n highly appritiate any help and suggestions. > regards > > On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 8:50 AM, Christian Grün <christian.gruen(a)gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Hi Furquan, >> >> do you use the classical REST interface to send your XQuery >> expressions to the server?

validate:xsd-info & xs:import
by Hans-Juergen Rennau 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Dear BaseX team, I face a problem with the "validate" module. My impression when using "validate:xsd-info" is the following: (a) if the XSD is supplied as argument - xs:import is NOT resolved (b) if the XSD is inferred from xsi:schemaLocation - xs:import IS resolved It would be wonderful if imports/includes could be automatically resolved - the "validate" module could then be extremely useful! Best regards, Hans-Juegen PS: My experiment: ====================================================== let $docURI := '... a document URI ...' let $xsdURI := '... the corresponding schema URI ...' let $xsd := doc($xsdURI) let $tns := $xsd/xs:schema/@targetNamespace let $doc1 := doc($docURI) let $doc2 := document { element {node-name($doc1/*)} { attribute xsi:schemaLocation {concat($tns, ' ', $xsdURI)}, $doc1/*/(@*, node()) } } return <results>{ <result1>{validate:xsd-info($doc1, $xsd)}</result1>, <result2>{validate:xsd-info($doc2)}</result2> }</results> ====================================================== => <results> <result1>Fatal:src-resolve: Name "communication:ShoppingCartFetchRS" kann nicht als "type definition"-Komponente aufgelöst werden.</result1> <result2/> </results>

Multiple war instances
by Jérôme Chauveau 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hi, i would like to run 2 separate war instances in the same Tomcat server. Each instance must embbed its own data repository. I tried to use the HTTPLOCAL flag but i am not able to manage separatly the 2 instances with a basexclient command line tool. How can I manage an HTTPLOCAL instance from a basexclient? Another solution might be that each webapp instance runs its own basexserver on 2 differents port. How can I set the 1984 default port used by a basex webapp?

declare copy-namepaces - "inherit" ignored!
by Hans-Juergen Rennau 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Dear BaseX team, I have a problem with a subtle bug which has been introduced with version 7.8, it seems. In 7.7, the declare copy-namespaces ..., inherit; was implemented correctly - see below for example code and result. But from 7.8 on, copy namespaces mode "inherit" is ignored. I would greatly appreciate if you could restore the correct behaviour, as I have code running which must be compatible with XQuery 1.0 and which needs to "add" in-scope namespaces dynamically. (And in XQuery 1.0 I see no alternative to the pattern shown below.) Kind regards - Hans-Juergen Example code: ================================ declare copy-namespaces preserve, inherit; declare function local:addNamespace($elem, $prefix, $uri) { let $qname := QName($uri, concat($prefix, ':dummy')) return <A>{ attribute {$qname} {""}, $elem }</A>/* }; let $elem := <foo/> return local:addNamespace($elem, 'z', 'http:example.com') ================================ => BaseX 7.7: <foo xmlns:z="http:example.com"/> BaseX >= 7.8: <foo/>
