Static files in other places than /static/* without modifying WEB-INF/web.xml ?
by Maud Ingarao 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hi everybody Thanks a lot for this wonderful BaseX 8 release and for distributing the dba module : Not only is it very practical, but it is also very inspiring to look carefully at how you guys wrote it and it gives us thousands of ideas to complete our own SynopsX module :) But it doesn't mean we always manage to imitate you... For example, exactly as you do, we want to distribute our static files inside our module, in a synopsx/files/ directory, and of course we don't want to ask people to modify the static path declaration in their WEB-INF/web.xml file to use our module. It works perfectly in your dba module : for exemple in dba/modules/tmpl.xqm, the created html element calls files/js.js or files/style.css and it simply works... But not in ours : we get this "No function matches the request" error because these files pathes are interpreted as restxq pathes (which sounds reasonable, but why not in yours ?) We are know trying more and more complicated things that don't work neither, like in https://github.com/mingarao/synopsx/blob/dev/webapp/synopsx/_restxq/files.x… line 37... So I think we should better stop there and ask you : what's the trick in dba ? All the best !

Issue with dtd validation
by France Baril 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi, Since my last upgrade to BaseX 8.0 beta 9cb3a37 (also just tried BaseX 8.0.1 beta 161c4fd), I noticed that the dtd validation errors are cut when to long, so I'm getting messages like this one, that don't help my users much: File 'html-review/dh4/device-help/3338/50/global/en-us/T1401261601.html' doesn't validate against BaseX-DTDs/xhtml/xhtml1-transitional.dtd. Error [bxerr:BXVA0001]: Validation failed. "Error:archie, 5:28: Attribute "... Plus, in previous versions, I was removing some errors that we don't care about, which I can't do anymore. Is there a new option to get the full messages like I used to with $err:description? Here is my code snippet (sorry for the ugly color coding in there... never had time to upgrade them to @class): *let* *$errors* := <ul>{ *for **$file* *in **$files* *return try*{ *let **$validate* := *validate:dtd*(*$file*, *$dtd-file-path*) *return *<li *style*=*"color:green"*>Ye!</li> } *catch* *** { *let **$error-description* := *$err:description* *return if* (*contains* (*normalize-space*( *$error-description*), *normalize-space*('Attribute ""xmlns"" must be declared for element type')) or *contains* (*normalize-space*( *$error-description*), *normalize-space*('Attribute ""xmlns:xsi"" must be declared for element type'))) (: The 'xmlns' error is introduced by BaseX, and does not get exported to static content, so we ignore it :) *then *() *else if* (*contains* (*normalize-space*( *$error-description*), *normalize-space*('Attribute ""content"" is required and must be specified for element type ""meta""'))) *then *() (: No longer true in HTML5 :) *else *<li *style*=*"color:red;"*> File '{*$file*/*base-uri*()}' doesn't validate against {*$dtd-file-path*}. {'Error [' || *$err:code* || ']: ' || *$err:description*} </li> } }</*ul*> (:let $debug := file:write('debug-in-fix-validation.xml', $errors):) *return* <ul>{*$errors*//*li*[*contains*(*@style*, 'color:red;')]}</ul> -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com

Bug in XQuery archive module
by alxarch 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi, I stumbled upon a bug in the archive module on BaseX 8.0. The zip files created by the archive module are not valid. ``` let $found := file:list("/tmp/test/media/") return file:write-binary("/tmp/test.zip", archive:create( $found, $found ! file:read-binary( "/tmp/test/media/" || .) , map { "format" : "zip", "algorithm" : "deflate"})) ``` The resultting zip file is invalid. Trying to unzip in cli returns: ``` Archive: test.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of test.zip or test.zip.zip, and cannot find test.zip.ZIP, period. ``` The same code works in BaseX7.9 Cheers, Alex

Regression? Unknown parameter: 'wrap' in 8.0.x
by Gioele Barabucci 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello, I am toying around with BaseX 8.0.1 (beta 161c4fd) and it looks like there is a regression from BaseX 7.9. In BaseX 7.9 I could issue the following POST query via the REST interface. <query xmlns="http://basex.org/rest"> <text>...</text> <parameter name='wrap' value='yes'/> </query> Now, the same query raises an exception in the server: org.basex.http.HTTPException: Unknown parameter: 'wrap'. at org.basex.http.HTTPCode.get(HTTPCode.java:55) at org.basex.http.rest.RESTPost.get(RESTPost.java:65) at org.basex.http.rest.RESTServlet.code(RESTServlet.java:43) Has something been changed in the way REST requests are processed? What is the proper way in 8.0.x to wrap results? Regards, -- Gioele Barabucci <gioele(a)svario.it>

following::* is 100x slower than preceding::*
by Gioele Barabucci 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello, I have noticed that this query using the "following" axes //*[@xml:id = "lemma-aMSa"] /following::*[self::tei:entry or self::tei:re] [position() <= 3] is much slower than the same query with the "preceding" axes //*[@xml:id = "lemma-aMSa"] /preceding::*[self::tei:entry or self::tei:re] [position() <= 3] The query that uses "preceding" takes about 2.5 ms to execute, while the one using "following" takes about 250 ms: it is 100 times slower. Why this discrepancy between these two queries? I can provide the base XML file (19MB) on request. Also, I also get a warning about «'following::*[(self::tei:entry or self::tei:re)][(fn:position() <= 3)]' will never yield results.» but that is obviously false, as it yields exactly the 3 results I expect.

Hi, I am new to BaseX and using version of 7.6 and I don't know where to post my questions. I have two questions as follows 1. When a database is created under the folder BaseXData, there were 9 files exist. Could you please share the details of eash file in the database. 2. Also, when I replace the content(same) in the database instead of droping and recreating, the database size is getting increased. Could you please explain why this is happened even the same data were replaced. 3. Is there any way to avoid the item #2 with using replace option(not recreating) Thanks,Jothivel On Saturday, 14 February 2015 4:30 PM, "basex-talk-request(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de" <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..."

We wanna test if a function exists with fn:function-lookup As fn:function-lookup only takes QNames, in some cases the namespace isn’t declared. So unsurprisingly, we get an error FONS0004 No namespace declared for prefix ‘……’ Is there any way to test if the namespace is declared first ? Thanks a lot, and best regards ! Emmanuel

Basex 8.0: white-spaces left after delete node?
by Hondros, Constantine (ELS-AMS) 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi all, Using Basex 8.0, I notice a difference in behaviour compared to Basex 7.82 that I thought worth mentioning. After creating a 5 GB db, then pruning it down to roughly 2GB using Xquery 'delete node', and after running db:optimize, in the GUI Result window I see vaaaast areas of white-space left over, presumably from where the nodes were deleted. Hundreds of screenfulls, actually. Is this to do with the 'adaptive serialisation' that is now the default? Any options to use to prevent it? (it's not a huge problem, just midly annoying since with this particular DB I get a blank screen whenever I hit the 'Home' button in the GUI).

Re: [basex-talk] duplicate keys, because of missing commit
by Lukas Kircher 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hi Christoph, I’m forwarding my answer (including yours) to the mailing list, as I think it is valuable input. I totally agree that the ‘equivalency' XQuery/transaction is very limiting. It sometimes leads to weird constructs trying to bypass the limitation. Quite often though the limitation is actually useful, as it forces you to re-write your query in a way that it fits a single transaction. Within a single transaction the compiler then has a lot more room for optimization etc.. I’m not defending our current approach here - there are cases where it causes real pain and affects overall application design. But I also think that, more often then not, a functional programming approach also solves the issue including all the benefits. After all, the concept of the XQuery Update Facility is true to the functional nature of XQuery, where variables are final (and cannot be changed once initiated). Extending XQuery with db:commit() kind of breaks these basic principles. I also think support for ‘chaining transactions’ would be beneficial, but maybe on another level (commands?). We write loads of production code in XQuery and this reflects just our experience - but I’d be happy to hear what others have to say.

In my specific case, i see a variant to solve the problem. But i think, that the concept of transactions, which combines a number of updating commands into an atomic unit, is a good idea and it is a heavy load on the freedom of design if the only chance, to build transactions is the unit of an xquery. > > From my point of view, it would be an important improvement, if something like the commit of sql would be added to the xquery-language.

XSD 1.1 Validation
by Alex R. Loayza 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

Hello, I tried to use xsd-info() to validate using a schema 1.1. However, I got the following error: Fatal:s4s-elt-invalid-content.1: The content of '#AnonType_reporte' is invalid. Element 'assert' is invalid, misplaced, or occurs too often. According to the validation module documentation, said module uses "Java’s standard validators". Does this refer to Xerces? If not, is there a way to call Xerces to perform validation from BaseX? Or maybe any other way to validate with 1.1? Thank you. Alex

USER option and WebDAV?
by C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 07 Feb '15

07 Feb '15

The documentation [1] says: The WebDAV service uses the database user credentials in order to perform authentication and authorization. If database user and password are explicitly specified when starting the BaseX HTTP Server using the corresponding startup options, WebDAV will not request additional user authentication from the client. [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Webdav I take this to mean that if I start basexhttp from a directory my-app, with a .basex file containing, among other things, USER = myappuser PASSWORD = lips_are_sealed then when the client issues a PUT request against a URI of the form http://localhost:8984/webdav/my_app_dir/mydoc34.xml the PUT will be accepted and mydoc34.xml will be added to the database or updated there, depending on whether myappuser has WRITE privileges to the database my_app_dir. I also take it to be saying that the WebDAV server will not ask the client for credentials. (This last is important to me because it appears that in some Web browsers an XForms submission that requires credentials will cause the browser to ask the user for userid and password, and in other browsers the submission will fail silently. If I can just have BaseX use the application-specific user quietly, that will work fine for this particular application.) However, what I'm seeing suggests that WebDAV is not using the userid specified in the .basex configuration file -- in my tests, one browser is prompting me for credentials and another is failing silently. I suppose that what I'm seeing may be consistent with an error in the password in the .basex file, but I have tried it with passwords that are hard to mistype, so I don't think that that's it. I have not found a command to ask the server what user I currently am (the equivalent of whoami). Am I misreading the documentation? -- **************************************************************** * C. M.

Are WebDAV authorization failures returning 200? Or is the BaseX log being optimistic?
by C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

I'm a little puzzled. As other mail (just sent) describes, I'm having some trouble getting PUT requests to work in some browsers; as far as I can tell, the current cause is that WebDAV is requesting credentials for the PUT, and the browser is not asking the user for the credentials. However, when a PUT request fails for lack of credentials, or for wrong credentials, I would expect the request to return an HTTP 401. Instead, the BaseX log seems to show 200 requests, both for the initial request from the client without credentials, and for the second request, whether the second request was made with correct credentials (and succeeded) or with bad credentials (and failed). Is the WebDAV service really returning a 200, or are the logs inaccurate? -- **************************************************************** * C. M.

Main Memory Allocation For Fetch Data In BaseX
by ankit kumar 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hi, We have requirement to group elements on specific criteria. We are grouping by creating a new XML and grouping similar elements by creating a new element under which we are putting the similar elements. I just wanted to know whether all fetched element resides in Main Memory or some kind of reference is stored in basex which later retrieve the elements form XML database. Suppose we have in some element in database. We are firing queries in database and grouping by append some new element. let $a := /data/product[@category = "abc"] let $b := /data/product[@category = "bcd"] let $c := <product><abc>{$b}</abc><bcd>$b</bcd></product> My question is, Will $c hold all the xml data in main memory or will it contains reference to $a , $b which points to the data in database ?. Thanks $ Regards Ankit Kumar

pyBaseX: Python client for BaseX REST interface
by Luca Lianas 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hi everyone, I'm Luca and I work as a researcher and software developer at CRS4, a research center in Italy. I started using BaseX in one of the projects I'm involved (project's name is pyEHR, an openEHR based clinical data management framework https://github.com/crs4/pyEHR), this framework is written in Python and I needed a client for BaseX. In the beginning, I used the official Python libraries recommended on the wiki, but I recently started to develop a new library that can be used to interact with BaseX's REST interface. The library can be found on GitHub https://github.com/lucalianas/pyBaseX and can be downloaded using pip, it is still a work in progress and it still misses some features and a proper documentation (right now unittests are the only "documentation" that can be used to understand how the library works, sorry). I just wanted to inform the community :) Thanks for your attention and if someone wants to collaborate to the project please feel free to add your contribution. Cheers, Luca Lianas
