Hi Csaba (cc to the list), You already found the reason for the excessive memory consumption by yourself. If you don’t need to rely on the pathological element names, you can replace them with a simple <i/> element, e.g. as follows: let $file := file:base-dir() || 'SPANYOLORSZÁG.xml' return file:write-text-lines( 'normalized-' || $file, file:read-text-lines($file) ! replace(., '<(/?)i\d+>', '<$1i>') ) This will also reduce memory consumption quite a lot. It would be a considerable effort to change the limit for element and attribute names, and it would also increase the database size for ordinary XML input, which is it’s improbable we will touch this. However, a relatively easy exercise would be to output error messages once the limits are exceeded, and not at the very end. Best, Christian

Copy document via REST API
by Liedtke, Alexander 02 Mar '25

02 Mar '25

Hello all, I am trying to copy (duplicate) an existing document via REST API, but can not get it working. I tried via POST as commands. Can somebody please provide me a working example ? My use case is simply duplicate an existing document in a databse, as a backup file. From the documentation: <add (path='...')>[input]</add>, I translated it to xml command similar: <commands> <command>OPEN db</command> <command>ADD copy.xml source.xml</command> </commands> with diffferent variations, like adding path argument etc. However, in the end I got nothing working. I also tried it via xquery, but I would prefer xml like above. But in the end I am happy with any working example. Two more questions in that context. What is the recommended header Content-Type xml or text/plain? Does it make sense rto use the http://basex_rest_url/?command url or just the REST URL? I am pretty sure, there is an easy solution for copying documents, so any help on this is appreciated. Thank you in advance Alexander Liedtke

Just some quick feedback: Does it work if you specify the input along with CREATE DB? basex -c"CREATE DB taurus SPANYOLORSZÁG.xml" You can also specify a directory as input.

Hi I have a web server that runs Basex 11.1. The server is a VPS with 18G of RAM. I have a directory of documents in various sizes, ranging from a few kilobytes up to 2G. I am trying to import these documents with the command CREATE DB mydb /path/to/docs With the default jvm max heap size (2GB) I get the error: Out of main memory If I raise the max heap size to 4GB, I get the same error. If I raise it to 8GB, the system becomes unresponsive. How can I determine how much system memory I need to be able to carry out this task? Thanks

RESTXQ Textarea request paramater
by brian＠kennison.name 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Everyone, I’m trying to build a comment form using RESTXQ that has a texarea element. I was hoping to use the new lines from the textarea for simple formatting but when the form is submitted the request parameter is striped of all the linefeeds ( it looks like normalized text). Is this the expected behavior? Thanks — Brian

Editor format adjustments
by Joel Kalvesmaki 24 Feb '25

24 Feb '25

Hi everyone, I just joined. BaseX is awesome (as y'all know). I like CTRL+SHIFT+F for formatting, but it is also messing up string values, which especially wreaks havoc with regular expressions. That is... let $regex := "(a|z)" ...becomes... let $regex := "( a|z )" I didn't see anything in the documentation or archives about micromanaging the formatting. Is the best practice to avoid formatting altogether? Or is there a hidden pragma to exempt lines from being formatted? Joel -- Joel Kalvesmaki Director, Text Alignment Network http://textalign.net

where instead of when in window start clause
by Martin Honnen 22 Feb '25

22 Feb '25

I mistyped a start clause in a tumbling window expression using "where" instead of "when" for tumbling window $w in (1 to 20) start at $s where $s mod 3 = 1 return <window>{$w}</window> see https://fiddle.basex.org/?share=%28%27query%21%27for+tumbling+-*w+in+%7B1+t…, but I didn't get an error but a result <window>1</window> <window>4</window> <window>7</window> <window>10</window> <window>13</window> <window>16</window> <window>19</window> Shouldn't that query give a syntax error that "when" is expected instead of "where"? Or is that a new XQuery 4 feature that the "when" clause can be omitted and the above is kind of parsed/executed as for tumbling window $w in (1 to 20) start at $s where $s mod 3 = 1 return <window>{$w}</window> ?

Install on windows fails because of JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS
by Peter Boot 22 Feb '25

22 Feb '25

Hello, I tried to install BaseX on Windows 11 and it kept giving me the message that Java 11 was needed, even though I already was at 20 and now am at 21. Then I noticed that java --version also reported a JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS environment variable: java --version Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 openjdk 21.0.6 2025-01-21 LTS OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-21.0.6+7 (build 21.0.6+7-LTS) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-21.0.6+7 (build 21.0.6+7-LTS, mixed mode, sharing) After removing that variable it no longer appears in the output of the version command and the install runs fine. I suppose it messes up parsing the version output. Peter

Need confirmation on http:send-request
by Marco Lettere 13 Feb '25

13 Feb '25

Dear Christian et al, moving to basex 11.7 today I've found out that it is not necessary to serialize the body content in an http-request such as [1]. If I do (as I had to up to Basex 10.7) the body is no longer understood. Now I obtsain correct behaviour when using code as in [2]. Can you confirm this change in behaviour? And if yes, this has a huge impact on the many many http calls we have so maybe it should be documented? Thanks a lot as usual! M. [1] let $body := json:serialize(<json type="object"/>) return <http:request href="url" method="POST"> <http:body media-type="application/json">{$body}</http:body> </http:request> [2] let $body := <json type="object"/> return <http:request href="url" method="POST"> <http:body media-type="application/json">{$body}</http:body> </http:request>

people (there is some reason why no other XQuery processor chose this solution =96 and why so many mailing list entries from implementations other than BaseX focus so much an namespaces..). Some more introductory details on various namespace intricacies, and the discussion around it, are e.g. found at: http://www.jclark.com/xml/xmlns.htm http://www.stylusstudio.com/xmldev/201004/bythread.html Christian

BaseX's behavior is somehow influenced by whether a document uses namespaces or not? Is that true? In other words, BaseX shows different performance depending on whether prefixes are used? Why is that so? Why did you not choose a representation that abstracts away namespace prefixes and treats all elements as if they were in a namespace? Logically, it's not a higher burden (storing a pair (index, string) is just as efficient as storing or indexing a string); and BaseX is not required to output XML that preserves prefixes and default namespaces when a query is made; any equivalent XML that expresses the query result is acceptable. I'm wondering if the correctness problems we're seeing with respect to namespaces may be due to this decision of treating namespaces specially rather than the default case. - Godmar

parameter applies only where wrap=3Dyes (it is ignored when wrap=3Dno) output does allow media-type to be specified...interestingly, the spec you refer to says the media-type can contain a value in line with RFC2046, that RFC happens to include textual media-types as well (e.g., text/plain) as XM= L media-types. So, I would propose to use a) the situation as it is today (wrap=3Dno, wrap=3Dyes dictating whether jax-rx:result and jax-rx:results are used to wrap) but also b) to be able to override the media-type independently of wrap parameter's value using output=3Dmedia-type=3Dtext%2Fplain or output=3Dmedia-type=3Dapplication%2fxml for example. Whether to use text/p= lain for wrap=3Dno becomes non-critical then (because of the ability to override it) and leaving it at text/plain as default is probably fine. Thanks.

I general, the integration of JaxRx has been simplified and generalized a lot since Version 6.1.

Otherwise, you'll need to... 1. get basex.jar and basex-jar.api: http://basex.org/download 2. get one of the start scripts (win or linux/mac): https://svn.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/trunk/api/etc/basexrest.bat https://svn.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/trunk/api/etc/basexrest 3. get the external libraries referenced from the start script: https://svn.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/trunk/api/lib/ Hope this helps, Christian 2010/12/13 Mahender Didwania <mahender(a)didwania.co.uk>: > Hi, > > Two things: > > 1. > Earlier I was using version 6.2.9 and the class StartJaxRx.java seemed to= work fine. =A0The need is to have the ability to invoke the server from a = script. > > I can't find the StartJaxRx in 6.3.3 any more. =A0Using the old class wit= h 6.3.3, the server says it started up fine, but when I attempt to access i= t over HTTP/REST, I get error for /basex/jax-rx (note that /basex/ is okay)= : > > Problem accessing /basex/jax-rx/.

Synchronizing access to store
by Marco Lettere 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Dear all, I'm wondering why the code in [1] is not working as expected. Expected means getting back a map with 100 keys. Instead I get a random number of keys which denotes the fact (proved by tracing) that the map in store is updated concurrently without respecting the lock annotations. Is there a way to obtain synchronized access to key/values of the default store? Thank you. Kind regards, Marco. [1] declare %updating %basex:lock('CONFIG') function local:write($k as xs:string) { store:put("config", map:put(store:get("config"), $k, random:integer(10))) }; let $s1 := store:put("config", map{}) let $s2 := xquery:fork-join(for $i in (1 to 100) return function(){ local:write("key" || $i) }) return count(map:keys(store:get("config")))

Deeper discussion of BaseX client/server and web app implementation?
by Eliot Kimber 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

I’m rethinking the implementation of my Mirabel system and trying to understand how best to manage concurrency for the web app (satisfying multiple read requests from web clients) while also managing updates to databases in a way that avoids blocking of reads or delaying of updates. I’ve done a read through of the current documentation at https://docs.basex.org/ and also reviewed what I could find online and such. In the documentation I find a number of references to the “client/server” architecture but I’m not finding any particularly deep discussion of it, either in the docs or by searching on i.e., “basex client server”. When I started my Mirabel project I understood that the way to get concurrency was to use multiple BaseX HTTP instances, which can make concurrent read requests on a single set of databases. But now I can’t find the source that led me to that conclusion—I know the product docs have been reworked significantly since then, so maybe something got lost in the update? Based on my latest reading, it seems clear that in order for BaseX to best manage concurrency of reads and writes that the requests need to be within a single server instance running in a single JVM. If I’m understanding it correctly, for FAIRLOCK to enable interleaving of read and update operations it has to be operating in a single JVM, which means that having different JVMs reading from a database being updated by yet another JVM is going to be problematic because the only lock mechanism in that case is the global lock, Given that, it’s not clear how you implement a multi-user web application that needs to not block while waiting for longer-running queries to complete but still have a single server instance to satisfy the queries. So I feel like I’m missing something. In my current solution I run multiple basexhttp servers where the first server is the web app server. It uses a REST handler that inspects the load on each server and sends requests to the lowest-load server. This works but in my reading I’m starting to think that this level of complexity is not required (or maybe, more accurately, surely others would have needed the same mechanism?). In my web app I’ve implemented a general asynchronous query mechanism where I can serve web pages with elements that then trigger async requests back to the server to fetch elements (for example, I cache HTML renderings of DITA tables that are then fetched asynchronously to populate report tables that include the rendered tables). I don’t see a way to avoid this level of optimization and it’s not too complicated. This seems to work well and there are more opportunities for caching things. I’m also continuing to think about Tamara’s suggestion to use polling or web sockets to perform long-running queries asynchronously, store the results in a results database, then trigger fetching in the client (in response to an earlier question of mine about how to avoid keeping HTTP request sessions open for a long time). So my question: What is the general architecture for a web application that needs to support large numbers of concurrent users making large numbers of requests and manage updates to databases? Thanks, Eliot _____________________________________________ Eliot Kimber Sr. Staff Content Engineer O: 512 554 9368 servicenow servicenow.com<https://www.servicenow.com> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/servicenow> | X<https://twitter.com/servicenow> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/user/servicenowinc> | Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/servicenow>

people (there is some reason why no other XQuery processor chose this solution =96 and why so many mailing list entries from implementations other than BaseX focus so much an namespaces..). Some more introductory details on various namespace intricacies, and the discussion around it, are e.g. found at: http://www.jclark.com/xml/xmlns.htm http://www.stylusstudio.com/xmldev/201004/bythread.html Christian

BaseX's behavior is somehow influenced by whether a document uses namespaces or not? Is that true? In other words, BaseX shows different performance depending on whether prefixes are used? Why is that so? Why did you not choose a representation that abstracts away namespace prefixes and treats all elements as if they were in a namespace? Logically, it's not a higher burden (storing a pair (index, string) is just as efficient as storing or indexing a string); and BaseX is not required to output XML that preserves prefixes and default namespaces when a query is made; any equivalent XML that expresses the query result is acceptable. I'm wondering if the correctness problems we're seeing with respect to namespaces may be due to this decision of treating namespaces specially rather than the default case. - Godmar

parameter applies only where wrap=3Dyes (it is ignored when wrap=3Dno) output does allow media-type to be specified...interestingly, the spec you refer to says the media-type can contain a value in line with RFC2046, that RFC happens to include textual media-types as well (e.g., text/plain) as XM= L media-types. So, I would propose to use a) the situation as it is today (wrap=3Dno, wrap=3Dyes dictating whether jax-rx:result and jax-rx:results are used to wrap) but also b) to be able to override the media-type independently of wrap parameter's value using output=3Dmedia-type=3Dtext%2Fplain or output=3Dmedia-type=3Dapplication%2fxml for example. Whether to use text/p= lain for wrap=3Dno becomes non-critical then (because of the ability to override it) and leaving it at text/plain as default is probably fine. Thanks.
