Problem with BaseX inserting a namespace … how do I stop it
by Mike Hawkes 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hi I have a weird problem ... I'm running a query via the PHP interface and run the following query: declare variable $DB external; insert node <audit QID='C54B14ED-C748-4DF0-87F2-91F505BE207B' UID='i1' guid='CC9D4D2B-B380-494B-B0F6-4D72471557B0' sessionID='48090b7f0e3a62a42a0457a3e88301ca' mode='active' date='2012-04-02T12:21:05+00:00'/> into doc($DB)/root/auditlog -- BaseX log shows that it gets the query as-is. When I look at the data within the database by running the XQuery /root/auditlog I find that BaseX has inserted a namespace attribute as follows: <audit xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" QID="C54B14ED-C748-4DF0-87F2-91F505BE207B" UID="i1" guid="CC9D4D2B-B380-494B-B0F6-4D72471557B0" sessionID="48090b7f0e3a62a42a0457a3e88301ca" mode="active" date="2012-04-02T12:21:05+00:00"/> How do I stop this occurring? It only does it on the audit components, not on anything else inserted by the PHP script. So, if I run two insert node queries, the first will run normally, the audit update causes the xmlns attribute to appear, effectively putting it in a different namespace to the other data inserted by the PHP. The PHP script is as follows: $audit = "declare variable \$DB external; " . "insert node <audit QID='$queryID' UID='$userID' " . "guid='$guid' sessionID='" . session_id() . "' " . "mode='active' " . "date='$dateTime'/> into doc(\$DB)/root/auditlog"; $query = $session->query( $audit ); $query->bind( 'DB', $DB); $query->bind( 'SYSDATA', $SYSDATA ); $query->execute(); $query->close(); Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Moving to log4j, java.util.logging, Apache Commons Logging, etc?
by Charles Duffy 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Howdy -- Right now, logging in BaseX is managed through org.basex.server.Log, allocated within each BaseXServer instance and passed to classes such as ClientListener with a known need to do logging. Compared to common logging approaches, this is somewhat unfortunate -- any class not passed a reference to the Log instance is unable to perform logging, and functionality common to log4j-derived logging frameworks (such as fine-grained log level and destination control) is unavailable. Is the decision to use an in-house logging framework open to reconsideration? I'd be willing to do a first-draft cut on a transition to log4j, Sun's java.util.logging, or Apache Commons Logging (a thin indirection layer which can use either of those as an underlying backend) if there's agreement to do so.

Losing username/password info
by Charles Duffy 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Howdy -- I have a number of different installed instances of BaseX (7.2 release, current snapshot, local build, etc), each with a .basex file pointing against the same DBPATH. I've frequently noticed when switching between trees that "admin" account switches back to its default password, and my more limited user accounts disappear and need to be recreated. Are these stored somewhere other than DBPATH?

Locking and long-running update operations
by Charles Duffy 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

I have a set of expensive cached data which requires about ~20 minutes to refresh/recalculate. However -- while this recalculation is running (via a single XQUF operation), read queries against the same database are unable to operate. My expectation is that the old, pre-update data will remain continually available until the update commits. If this expectation is incorrect, what is the suggested mechanism for running such expensive updates without impacting availability?

Problem with XQJ-Implementation (method XQResultSequence.getSequenceAsStream)
by Isidre Guixà 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hi I am experiencing the BaseX API XQJ and I compare to other XQJ NXD and I find the following problem. Suppose we have the next XML file in database "test": <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <bookstore param="hao"> <book> <title>Book01</title> </book> <book> <title>Book02</title> </book> </bookstore> If I execute: XQDataSource xqs = ... XQConnection conn = xqs.getConnection(); XQExpression xqe = conn.createExpression(); String cad= "collection('test')//title"; XQResultSequence xqrs = xqe.executeQuery(cad); XMLStreamReader result = xqrs.getSequenceAsStream(); System.out.println("Iteration on XMLStreamReader..."); for(; result.hasNext(); result.next()) System.out.println(getEventString(result)); xqrs = xqe.executeQuery(cad); System.out.println("Using a Transformer..."); Source resultXML = new StAXSource(xqrs.getSequenceAsStream()); StreamResult resultSR = new StreamResult(System.out); TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer tr = factory.newTransformer(); tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes"); tr.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "no"); tr.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount","2"); tr.transform(resultXML, resultSR); where static String getEventString(final XMLStreamReader reader) { switch(reader.getEventType()) { case XMLStreamConstants.START_ELEMENT: return "START_ELEMENT:\t\"" + reader.getLocalName() + "\""; case XMLStreamConstants.END_ELEMENT: return "END_ELEMENT:\t\"" + reader.getLocalName() + "\""; case XMLStreamConstants.START_DOCUMENT: return "START_DOCUMENT"; case XMLStreamConstants.END_DOCUMENT: return "END_DOCUMENT"; case XMLStreamConstants.CHARACTERS: return "CHARACTERS:\t\"" + reader.getText() + "\""; } return ""; } I get: Iteration on XMLStreamReader... START_ELEMENT: "title" CHARACTERS: "Book01" END_ELEMENT: "title" END_DOCUMENT START_ELEMENT: "title" CHARACTERS: "Book02" END_ELEMENT: "title" END_DOCUMENT Using a Transformer... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <title>Book01</title> It's not good! When I use a Transformer I should get something similar to: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <result> <title>Book01</title> <title>Book02</title> <result> That is, if result sequence length is greater than 1, getSequenceAsStream should wrap the sequence in a containing result element, so to not break JAXP Transformers and XMLStreamReader events. Is there any solution in BaseX ? Thanks a lot! Isidre Guixà

Concurrency problems with REST API
by Tobias Hofer 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi, I'm using the REST API of BaseX 7.2 and run into concurrency problems. If I add new documents in parallel then the server will stop working after adding a few documents. My command template looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <command xmlns="http://basex.org/rest"><text><![CDATA[ ADD TO $KEY$ <node id="$KEY$" /> ]]></text></command> I call the REST API using curl: for ((i=0; i<10; i++)); do (cp tx-template tx$i; replace '$KEY$' $i -- tx$i; curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -T tx$i "admin:admin@localhost:8984/rest/QDEV") & done After four or less insert the following error occurs: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 2247 Server: Jetty(6.1.26) java.lang.NullPointerExceptionjava.lang.NullPointerExceptionjava.lang.NullPointerExceptionorg.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-type.3.1.2: Element 'command' is a simple type, so it must have no element information item [children].org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-type.3.1.2: Element 'command' is a simple type, so it must have no element information item [children].Improper use?

possible bug? or opportunity for documentation enhancement? [2d sending]
by C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

[2d posting - this time with the promised attachment] I got some error messages today which seem to indicate a problem, either in BaseX or in (my understanding of) the documentation. Since the error messages (in the attached log) suggest contacting you about it, I am doing so. The document at http://www.w3.org/TR/xsd-unicode-blocknames/ includes a table of Unicode block names created by querying a database consisting of XML representations of the various versions of the Unicode Database. Today I noticed that a new version of the Unicode Database was issued in January, and so I downloaded the XML data and added the document to my existing BaseX database of Unicode information. The command seemed to run successfully, but when I ran my old query, I got an error message saying "Data access out of bounds". I installed version 7.2 then, which gave the same error message. Rebuilding the database from scratch allowed me to run the query without any problems, so I don't actually have a problem at the moment. But I'm sending this problem report in the hopes that it may help you diagnose either a problem with dynamic adds to a database or perhaps a problem with the server command language documentation (it's entirely possible that I did something wrong when adding the new document to the database). If there is any information I can provide that would be helpful, please let me know. best, Michael Sperberg-McQueen -- **************************************************************** * C. M.

Module import times and caching
by Charles Duffy 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

import module namespace reporting="http://dyfis.net/reporting"; 1+1 Timing: - Parsing: 4.33 ms - Compiling: 4205.89 ms <<< (!) - Evaluating: 7.55 ms - Printing: 6.39 ms - Total Time: 4224.18 ms ...after some analysis and optimization this is down to ~115ms, but that's still a fairly high floor for query execution time of anything using this module (which almost everything I write does). Said module includes several lines of the form declare variable $reporting:foo_db := db:open("foo", "db") ...and a lot of function declarations, some of which are fairly complex. Have there been thoughts to a module cache, even if enabled only via pragma? It would be nice to be able to reuse the optimizer's results and variable definitions (even if we completely expired the cache on writes to any database referenced during the module's compilation phase).

Java interop - Unexpected FORG0006 ("Invalid arguments")
by Charles Duffy 30 Mar '12

30 Mar '12

Howdy -- I have a thin wrapper around the 3rd-party svnkit library. At present, it provides two functions: module namespace svnkit = "http://dyfis.net/svnkit-wrapper"; declare namespace j="java:net.dyfis.svnkit_wrapper.SvnWrapper"; declare function svnkit:cat($path as xs:string) as xs:string { j:cat($path) }; declare function svnkit:cat($path as xs:string, $rev as xs:integer) as xs:string { j:cat($path, $rev) }; SvnWrapper (written in Clojure) provides both versions of cat as static methods: (ns net.dyfis.svnkit-wrapper.core (:gen-class :name net.dyfis.svnkit_wrapper.SvnWrapper :methods [#^{:static true} [cat [java.lang.String] java.lang.String] #^{:static true} [cat [java.lang.String int] java.lang.String]])) svnkit:cat($path) works fine. svnkit:cat($path, $revno) results in the following: [FORG0006] Invalid arguments: SvnWrapper.cat(xs:string, xs:integer) found. SvnWrapper.cat(xs:string, xs:integer) is exactly what I *expect* it to find, so the error doesn't make a great deal of sense to me. Any hints?
