Am I using proc:exec wrong?
by Graydon Saunders 02 Sep '22

02 Sep '22

Hello -- This is with BaseX 10.1 on a linux box: 18:02 graydon % java -version openjdk version "17.0.4" 2022-07-19 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-17.0.4.0.8-1.fc36) (build 17.0.4+8) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-17.0.4.0.8-1.fc36) (build 17.0.4+8, mixed mode, sharing) I'm trying to invoke CoffeePot, https://coffeepot.nineml.org/ which is an ixml processor. In the BaseX GUI, proc:execute('/usr/bin/java','-version') gives me the expected version information as an error, despite a return code of zero: <result><error>openjdk version "17.0.4" 2022-07-19 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Red_Hat-17.0.4.0.8-1.fc36) (build 17.0.4+8) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Red_Hat-17.0.4.0.8-1.fc36) (build 17.0.4+8, mixed mode, sharing) </error><code>0</code></result> >From a console, /usr/bin/java -cp /home/graydon/bin/coffeepot-package/coffeepot-1.99.8/coffeepot-1.99.8.jar org.nineml.coffeepot.Main works fine, in as much as I get the list of coffeepot usage information I expect if it's run without arguments. proc:execute('/usr/bin/java','-cp /home/graydon/bin/coffeepot-package/coffeepot-1.99.8/coffeepot-1.99.8.jar org.nineml.coffeepot.Main') returns <result><error>Unrecognized option: -cp /home/graydon/bin/coffeepot-package/coffeepot-1.99.8/coffeepot-1.99.8.jar org.nineml.coffeepot.Main Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

Problem with validate:xsd-report
by Hans-Juergen Rennau 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Dear BaseX people, I encounter a problem with validate:xsd-report(), more particular with using a schema importing the well-known xml.xsd. The imported attribute declaration (xml:base) is not found. I am pretty sure that it is my fault, but I just can't find my error - could you take a look? (1) Document: doc.xml <book xml:base="/a/b/c" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="schema.xsd"> <author>xyz</author></book> (2) Schema: schema.xsd <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"> <xs:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" schemaLocation="xml.xsd"/> <xs:element name="book"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="author" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> <xs:attribute ref="xml:base"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element></xs:schema> (In the same folder, a downloaded copy of xml.xsd is stored - for a snippet, see PS) (3) Query: validate.xq let $doc := 'doc.xml'let $xsd := 'schema.xsd'return validate:xsd-report($doc, $xsd) (4) Result: basex validate.xq=><report> <status>invalid</status> <message level="Fatal" line="9" column="43" url="file:/C:/projects/d2type/jats/test-validation/schema.xsd">src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name 'xml:base' to a(n) 'attribute declaration' component. </message></report> I do not understand why the import seems to be ignored. Validating with oXygen works fine, but I suppose that oXygen ignores the @schemaLocation. If you see the reason, please let me know.

Exception handling in XQuery-Java-Binding
by Andreas Hengsbach | nexoma 29 Aug '22

29 Aug '22

Hi, I am currently experimenting with java code loaded as a basex module. There I throw custom exceptions, which I want to catch and handle in XQuery. Unfortunately, the information about the thrown Java exception seems to get lost. What options do I have to throw my own error messages from my java module that do not immediately become "XPTY0004"? Many thanks and best regards Andreas

For what it's worth: Of the ixml processors I'm familiar with, all use (or can use) Earley parsers to parse the input string against the input grammar; Norm Walsh's Coffeepot and its related libraries also make a GLL parser available, which is sometimes faster and sometimes slower. About half use the same parser to parse the input grammar against the spec grammar; about half have a hand-written parser for the ixml spec grammar. > And thus interesting, but alas too slow for the application I have. If you are willing and able to send me a copy of your grammar and some sample data, I would be grateful; it might help me improve the situation with respect to Aparecium's performance. Both Norm Walsh's processor and John Lumley's processor are currently a lot faster than Aparecium, though I don't know a simple way to call them directly from XQuery. Another alternative, if you have speed issues and just one grammar you are interested in, is to use Gunther Rademacher's REx parser generator to compile the grammar you are interested in into a parser written in XQuery (other target languages are also available). https://bottlecaps.de/rex/ -- C.

an Earley parser in XQuery?
by Graydon Saunders 23 Aug '22

Hello -- I'm trying to test if some extracted sentences validate as productions of a particular context-free grammar expressed in a BNF dialect. Is there an available implementation of a parser in XQuery that can do this? Thanks! Graydon

Very niche question about BaseX 9.5.1 and java bindings
by Andy Bunce 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Hi, I am trying to write a Java property file using v9.5.1 and no new Java code. The code below runs in 9.7.3. Although it only uses 9.5 features in 9.5.1 it produces the error message props:store·java.io.Writer·String cannot be called with (Writer, String). but https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#store-j… I assume this is a 9.5.1 java binding bug? Any workaround suggestions or details of what the problem is? /Andy ----------------------------------------------- (:~ Using Basex 9.5.1 and assuming a file "test.properties" in folder containing this module:) import module namespace props = "java:java.util.Properties"; declare variable $source:= file:resolve-path("test.properties",file:base-dir()) !(prof:void(props:load·java.io.Reader(Q{java:java.io.FileReader}new(.))),.) ; props:store·java.io.Writer·String( Q{java:java.io.FileWriter}new($source), "The saucer has landed")

Basex 10.1, cannot execute query for a particular file name
by ykhabins＠bellsouth.net 19 Aug '22

19 Aug '22

Hello, Congrats on the release of BaseX 10.1 I decided to try XQuery 4.0 functionality right away. So, I typed a new query without saving it on the file system as follows: xquery version "4.0"; (1 to 5) -> {. + .} Executed it, and it is worked. I saved it as a file name: [xquery version 4.0] without square brackets. Extension is 0 And I cannot execute it anymore. Why is that? Just when I saved it as [xquery version 4.xq], I was able to execute it again. Just a peculiarity. Regards, Yitzhak Khabinsky

Memory footprint for a certain query is much higher usisng BaseX10 compared to 9
by Alexander Witzigmann 16 Aug '22

16 Aug '22

Hi, BaseX 10 has a different behavior in memory footprint for the following situation. To avoid passing around data you can create db using the following create (i did this with BaseX 9) declare variable $input := <root><sheet name="SAP">{for $idx in (1 to 10000) return <row>{for $e in $enames return element {$e} { attribute {"content"} {$idx}}}</row>}</sheet></root>; db:create("test-db",$input,"test.xml") Then using the following query on the created db: declare variable $input := db:open("test-db"); <root>{ for $s in $input//sheet[./@name => contains("SAP")] return <sheet>{$s/@*}{ for $r in $s//row let $no := $r/Objektkurztext/@content return <row>{$r/@*}{($r/*,<partno>{$no}</partno>)}</row> }</sheet> }</root> Using BaseX 9 the used memory for the query is round about 2 GB which is ok. Using BaseX 10 Out-of-Memory exception happens in my case used memory is > 12 GB Any thoughts what the reason is - any additional information required? Alex

New fails without warning when one file out of 27 is locked
by Patrick Durusau 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

Greetings! My mistake but I had one file out of 27 open in an editor when I tried to create a new database across the file set. Got the error message that basex 10.0 could not find (file-name), so I chose ok. Apparently basex failed at that point and did not skip the open file. No database was created. Not a problem because I closed the file and re-ran new but curious if that is the expected behavior? Or should it skip the locked file? Thanks for all the hard work!

Convert base64 to XML
by ykhabins＠bellsouth.net 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

Hello, I am calling a SOAP Web Service via http:send-request(...) method. It returns back base64 encoded XML. Here is how I am converting it into XML: return html:parse(convert:binary-to-string(xs:base64Binary(http:send-request(...))) ) So, I am using three function/method calls: - xs:base64Binary() - convert:binary-to-string() - html:parse() Is there a more straight forward method to convert base64 encoded string to XML in the BaseX 10.0? Regards, Yitzhak Khabinsky

List of functions created in xquery:eval-update show unexpected behavior
by Wiemer, Sebastian 15 Aug '22

Hi, I ran over an unexpected bahavior of BaseX 9.7.3 Can anyone explain? Note: BaseX 9.7.3 is running with MIXUPDATES=true file1.xq: create to functions in a list and call each function with a list comprehension ---- declare function local:bla(){<bla id=""/> }; declare function local:blubb(){<blubb id=""/> }; (local:bla#0,local:blubb#0)!.() ---- Result: as expected <bla id=""/> <blubb id=""/> file2.xq: same as above, but in an xquery:eval --- xquery:eval( ' declare function local:bla(){<bla id=""/>}; declare function local:blubb(){<blubb id=""/> }; local:bla#0,local:blubb#0 ' )!.() --- Result: as expected <bla id=""/> <blubb id=""/> file3.xq: same as file1, but with a little "twist" --- declare function local:bla(){<bla/> update {insert node attribute id {} into .}}; declare function local:blubb(){<blubb/> update {insert node attribute id {} into .}}; (local:bla#0,local:blubb#0)!.() --- Result: as expected <bla id=""/> <blubb id=""/> file4.xq trying to call the same with xquery:eval will not work ([xquery:update] No updating expression allowed.), so we use xquery:eval-update() --- xquery:eval-update( ' declare function local:bla(){<bla/> update insert node attribute id {} into .}; declare function local:blubb(){<blubb/> update insert node attribute id {} into .}; local:bla#0,local:blubb#0 ' )!.() -- Result: expected <bla id=""/> <blubb id=""/> But the result is: local:bla#0 local:blubb#0 file5.xq: --- xquery:eval-update( ' declare function local:bla(){<bla/> update insert node attribute id {} into .}; declare function local:blubb(){<blubb/> update insert node attribute id {} into .}; local:bla#0 ' )() --- Result: as expected <bla id=""/> Is this a bug?

Error messages in Basex 9.7.x
by Marc Coenegracht 14 Aug '22

14 Aug '22

Hello Christian, In a clean install of Debian 11, openjdk version "11.0.16" 2022-07-19, I unzipped BaseX973.zip and started the the HTTP server with: basexhttp -S (with debugging set to true). The following error-message appeared: java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: process hasn't exited at java.base/java.lang.ProcessImpl.exitValue(ProcessImpl.java:521) at org.basex.util.Util.error(Util.java:311) at org.basex.BaseXHTTP.start(BaseXHTTP.java:301) at org.basex.BaseXHTTP.<init>(BaseXHTTP.java:125) at org.basex.BaseXHTTP.main(BaseXHTTP.java:54) which is repeated 10 times (all messages are exactly identical) If the server gets started with: 'basexhttp &' all is fine, no errors. The server starts up normally after these errors and it can be shut down cleanly again. In a few of my scripts the following errors pops up: Creating Database... java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.XMLCatalogResolver at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:581) at ... etc (multiple classes, long list) Creating Database... .java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "E" at java.base/jdk.internal.math.FloatingDecimal.readJavaFormatString(FloatingDecimal.java:2054) at ... etc repeated twice. The errors are seemingly without consequence, all is functioning fine and the created databases seem OK. Actually the only reason I noticed the errors is because I made the foolish decision to set debugging to true ... :) I tested versions 9.7 and 9.7.3 on multiple Debian 11 boxes with openjdk 11.0.16, and version 9.7 in an older Debian 9 box with openjdk 11.0.6, results are identical. Best, Marc

Log Analysis Tips?
by Eliot Kimber 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

We have released version 1.0 of our Project Mirabel server to our internal users. Now we need to know who’s using it, so time for log analysis. I haven’t given any thought yet to what log analysis might mean. So wondering if there are any tips and tricks for analyzing the BaseX logs when using the BaseX HTTP server. Note that we don’t yet have users implemented, so we’re just looking at HTTP requests with different IP addresses.

xquery:eval and permissions [updated]

[apologies - there was a typo in my previous message, please refer to this one instead] Hi, I'm running into a permissions error trying to use xquery:eval. I'm on BaseX 9.7.2. This is the error I get when running the query on the server using the REST service (using the default 'reader' user)... [basex:permission] No admin permission: xquery:eval($qString_50, map { "": db:open-pre("Modes", 0)}, map{"permission": "read", ... }) This is the line in the query which throws the error: let $set_combined := xquery:eval($qString, map{'': db:open($db)}, map{'permission': 'read'}) The query string itself, which is passed to eval is a very simple selection, for example: /Interchange/Object[Identification/ObjectName/Keyword/text() = "plate"] Have I misunderstood the purpose of the permission option in xquery:eval? I assumed by setting it to 'read' it would ensure that anyone with read permission would be able to execute it. The query string itself shouldn't require higher permissions in order to be evaluated.

RESTXQ: Handling Lots of Parameters?
by Eliot Kimber 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

I’m making a RESTXQ page that handles a form where the form can have a number of different parameters. I’m not seeing a way to define a RESTXQ handler that can handle an arbitrary number of parameters of different names, i.e., if my URL is: https://example.com/form-handler?foo=1&bar=2&fred=3&baz=4 Is there a way to define a RESTXQ handling function that doesn’t have to enumerate each of these parameters in its function declaration? This is mostly looking for a convenience for not having to update a function declaration every time I add a field to a form that is constructed elsewhere and added to the page or maybe a dynamically-constructed form.

Get All Tokens for Attribute Name?
by Eliot Kimber 07 Aug '22

07 Aug '22

Using the attribute index I can get all attributes of a specific name that have a specific value or token (db:attribute()) and I can get all the values for all attributes that start with a specific prefix (index:attributes()) but I don’t see a way to get, from the index, all the values for all the attributes of a specific name. Have I missed something? My use case is I have an index over my docs where each index entry is of the form: <doc-to-bundle-index-entry key="10503999" filename="c_DataCertification.dita" dbpath="product/data-certification/concept/c_DataCertification.dita" bundles="bundle-platcap-platform-capabilities"/> And I would like the distinct-values of all the @bundles attributes. There are about 40K entry elements. Of course I can do: doc-to-bundle-index/doc-to-bundle-index-entry/@bundles ! tokenize(., '\s+') => distinct-values() And that seems plenty fast, but it seemed like there should be a way to do it with the indexes alone. But it may be that the query on the @bundle attribute actually uses the index anyway… Cheers, E. _____________________________________________ Eliot Kimber Sr Staff Content Engineer O: 512 554 9368 M: 512 554 9368 servicenow.com<https://www.servicenow.com> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/servicenow> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/servicenow> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/user/servicenowinc> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/servicenow>

changes in BaseX-10.0 w.r.t. http:send-request() / fetch:doc() functions?
by Ron Van den Branden 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Hi, After upgrading BaseX to 10.0 (yay!), I notice how http:send-request() calls that used to work in 9.7 are now failing. I didn't find any changes documented between version 9.7 and 10.0 at https://docs.basex.org/wiki/HTTP_Client_Module. Yet (tested with the same JDK), I'm observing differences between BaseX-9.7 and BaseX-10.0. Test case: let $uri := 'http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300027473.rdf' returnhttp:send-request(<http:request method="get" status-only="true" href="{$uri}"/>) Result: * BaseX-9.7: valid response <http:response xmlns:http="http://expath.org/ns/http-client" status="200" message="OK"> <http:header name="Server" value="Apache-Coyote/1.1"/> <http:header name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename="aat_300027473.rdf""/> <http:header name="Set-Cookie" value="BIGipServerForest=!VhOKP5OjryEOuPhyk3Vb4l5ey77Ecb9C7h36RwDl7h0P+12yggqrxtSz6mEpwv8Du1qdIeJTRfFkqw==; path=/; Httponly"/> <http:header name="Content-Length" value="55888"/> <http:header name="Date" value="Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:32:02 GMT"/> <http:header name="Content-Type" value="application/rdf+xml;charset=UTF-8"/> <http:body media-type="application/rdf+xml"/> </http:response> * BaseX-10.0: "Bad Request" error <http:response xmlns:http="http://expath.org/ns/http-client" status="400" message="Bad Request"> <http:header name="connection" value="close"/> <http:header name="content-length" value="968"/> <http:header name="content-type" value="text/html;charset=utf-8"/> <http:header name="date" value="Thu, 04 Aug 2022 14:31:56 GMT"/> <http:header name="server" value="Apache-Coyote/1.1"/> <http:header name="set-cookie" value="BIGipServerForest=!mBtphfxjdsqnz+Vyk3Vb4l5ey77EcVUpOTC6kqayu7tj3BpCNxN68oQTs+W4wrEO4+vQ2pECmIF6rA==; path=/; Httponly"/> <http:body media-type="text/html"/> </http:response> The same results are obtained with fetch:xml() (BaseX-9.7 - valid response) and fetch:doc() (BaseX-10.0 - bad request). Apologies if I'm overlooking the obvious, but has anything changed w.r.t. these http / fetch module functions or their underlying methods of network access that would require changes in my XQuery code or BaseX-10.0 configuration?

Multi-valued values in maps - sequences vs arrays
by Bridger Dyson-Smith 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi all - I would appreciate some help understanding how I might go about having a multi-valued array as the value of a map key, or if this is even possible; e.g. map{ "key": [1,2,3,4,5] } I've tried various combinations of array:flatten and array:join, but things always wind up in a sequence. (Aside: this isn't a real problem, but I'm trying to force myself to get more comfortable working with arrays and maps and this seemed like a great exercise... :) My mistake!). E.g. map:merge( (1 to 5) ! map {'key': array:flatten(array { . }) }, map{"duplicates":"combine"} ), (: returns map{"key":(1,2,3,4,5)} :) map:merge( (1 to 5) ! map {'key': array:join(array {.}) }, map{"duplicates":"combine"} ) (: returns map{"key":([1],[2],[3],[4],[5])} :) Are sequences the result because a map is a function item? Thanks for any clarity you can provide! Best, Bridger

BaseX 10 • The Double-Digit Summer Edition
by Christian Grün 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Dear all, It’s been around 15 years ago when the first Open-Source version of BaseX was released. Thanks to the continuous support of all of you, we are thrilled today to announce the first double-digit version of our XML framework: https://basex.org/ BaseX 10 assists you with your everyday data challenges with some great new features: STORAGE • Beside XML Documents and Binary Data, you can use the new »XQuery Values« resource type to store arbitrary items and sequences in databases. • General data (registered users, scheduled services, and key-value stores) can now be backed up as well. • Mixed-content developers will be delighted: Whitespaces are now preserved by default. XQUERY • Database locking has been improved by splitting up XQuery compilation into a static and dynamic step. • A new Store Module allows you to organize values in a persistent main-memory key-value store. • You can store and retrieve XQuery values with db:put-value and db:get-value. • When serializing XML, indentation is now turned off by default. GENERAL • BaseX 10 requires Java 11 to run. • The GUI comes with improved HiDPI support, new icons and improved consistency. • All HTTP requests are now based on the new Java HTTP client. • Catalog support is now universal and based on either the new XML Catalog API or Norman Walsh’s excellent XML Resolver. • The default ports for web applications were changed from 8984/8985 to 8080/8081. • The default admin password was removed to improve security. • Results of the REST API are now wrapped in the default REST namespace. We have taken the version jump as an opportunity to rename various existing functions and commands. The database storage has not changed: Databases created with BaseX 10 are backward compatible and can still be opened with BaseX 9. Visit our documentation for more details, and information on how to upgrade your existing applications: https://docs.basex.org/wiki/BaseX_10 Have fun! Your BaseX Team

RESTXQ use cases for POST, PUT and DELETE
by Stefan Ziegler 03 Aug '22

03 Aug '22

Hi I'm wondering what are real world use cases for POST, PUT and DELETE requests? Are they used for updating / importing / deleting data into e.g. an xml database? Or is it common to use it e.g. for uploading an xml file and transform it into a pdf (with xsl-fo)? regards Stefan

BaseX 10.0 and Java 11 requirement
by ykhabins＠bellsouth.net 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

Hello, Congrats on the BaseX 10.0 release. I tried to install BaseX 10.0 on my two computers. First computer (Windows 10 OS) - I installed Java JDK jdk-18_windows-x64_bin.exe - Installation of the BaseX 10.0 went without any problem. BaseX GUI is working without any problems. Second computer (Windows 10 OS) is giving me a grief. - I installed the same Java JDK jdk-18_windows-x64_bin.exe - Installation of the BaseX 10.0 is producing the following error message: " Please install Java 11 or higher before executing the installer." My troubleshooting steps: (1) At the command prompt, c:\>java --version, shows the following java 18.0.2 2022-07-19 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 18.0.2+9-61) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 18.0.2+9-61, mixed mode, sharing) (2) I added to the System Environment Variable Path, the following: c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-18.0.2\bin\ So far, no progress. The same " Please install Java 11 or higher before executing the installer." error message. Pleas advise. Regards, Yitzhak Khabinsky
