Python client issue
by Andrey Fedosenko 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

session = BaseXClient.Session('localhost', 1984, 'admin', 'admin') session2 = BaseXClient.Session('localhost', 1984, 'admin', 'admin') session2.execute("check database") query = session.query("collection('database')") for code, item in query.iter(): //some item modification session2.replace("{}.xml".format(item_path), modified_item) The execution of the script stops after the first iteration. How can I read and change data in a single cycle? FYI: for a small database, this works correctly.

web.xml changed in BaseX 90 to servlet 4.0
by Stefania Axo 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

hi I downloaded the latest version of BaseX 9.0 I try to deploy on my WebSphere Liberty (WebSphere Application Server V16.0.0.2 )and got an error because the version of the servlet is now 4.0. CWWKZ0002E: An exception occurred while starting the application BaseX. The exception message was: java.lang.IllegalStateException: com.ibm.wsspi.adaptable.module.UnableToAdaptException: com.ibm.ws.javaee.ddmodel.DDParser$ParseException: CWWKC2262E: The server is unable to process the 4.0 version and the http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee namespace in the /WEB-INF/web.xml deployment descriptor on line 6. BaseX 8.67 web.xml had <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5"> Basex 9.0 web.xml has <web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/jsc/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_4_0.x… " version="4.0"> I set on the BaseX 90 web.xml the old version of the servlet and that seemed to work. I am not sure if i will encounter other problems though. is the setting necessary in basex 9.0? or am i ok to downgraded for BaseX 90 ? thanks Stefania

child node problem
by Giuseppe Celano 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

Hi All, Thanks for this new release, which looks great! I have found a problem though (see error message below), when running a query like: for $ee in collection("my-path-to-files") where $ee//case[./aspect-values[@sign = "yes"]] return $ee This works in version 8.6.7. The problem seems to be [./aspect-values[@sign = "yes"]]: if I change it in [//aspect-values[@sign = "yes"]] it works fine also in 9.0. Any idea? Thanks.

Is the support for "Events" is stopped in the recent versions?
by Nivas 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

Hi All, Is the support for "Events" is stopped in the recent versions of BaseX database? I would like to have a notification mechanism i.e. whenever a particular element changes(specified by xpath), I want an event to be triggered. Is that possible? I would be using basex python client. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Seeni

Maven repo 9.0
by Marc van Grootel 31 Mar '18

31 Mar '18

Hi, First of all congrats with the release of the Spring edition. Nice steady pace of quality updates. I wanted to test 9.0 by getting it via de Maven coordinates but noticed that 9.0 wasn't available from the basex Maven repo. Only 9.0-SNAPSHOT and 9.0.1-SNAPSHOT. Is it possible to also make 9.0 available from org.basex:basex-api:9.0 Maven coordinates? --Marc

Q: Is there a way to update a XML node with subelements
by Harald Freudenberger 30 Mar '18

30 Mar '18

Hello BaseX team I am about to implement a simple web application which displays some items and allows an user to edit one item. So my database is simple: data.xml: <items> <item> <id>1</id> <text>just some text</text> </item> <item> <id>2</id> <text>some other text</text> </item> </items> Now I want to add a new item to this database. For first evaluation I'll use curl to insert a new node with: curl -u admin:admin -i -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<item><id>9999</id><text>hello</text></item>" "http://localhost:8984/rest/data/items" The query to check if the new node has been inserted gives: curl -u admin:admin -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<query xmlns='http://basex.org/rest'><text>//item</text></query>" "http://localhost:8984/rest/data" HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 1416 Server: Jetty(8.1.18.v20150929) <item> <id>1</id> <text>just some text</text> </item> <item> <id>2</id> <text>some other text</text> </item> <item> <id>9999</id> <text>hello</text> </item> Fine. And now I'd like to try the edit an item. I start with fetching the item: curl -u admin:admin -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<query xmlns='http://basex.org/rest'><text>//item[id='9999']</text></query>" "http://10.0.2.2:8984/rest/data" HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 280 Server: Jetty(8.1.18.v20150929) <item> <id>9999</id> <text>hello</text> </item> Now I do some modifications: <item> <id>9999</id> <text>new text here</text> <newnode>a new node</newnode> </item> And then I want to write back this item with: curl -u admin:admin -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<query xmlns='http://basex.org/rest'><text>replace node /data/items/item[id='9999'] with <item><id>8888</id></item></text></query>" "http://10.0.2.2:8984/rest/crypto" HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 104 Server: Jetty(8.1.18.v20150929) cvc-type.3.1.2: Element 'text' is a simple type, so it must have no element information item [children]. I tried <command> instead of <query> but the result is always the same. Am I doing something wrong here ? Is there a way to update a node with subelements in BaseX ? Please understand, I am C developer dealing with Linux kernel code most of the time so I am not really familiar with all the web application things. Thanks and regards Harald Freudenberger

SSL support for BaseX REST API
by Giavanna J Richards 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

I'm trying to determine how to enable SSL communications with the BaseX server, I have a java server which communicates with BaseX over its REST API for running xquery's. I see in the BaseX changelog that SSL support was added to version 7.5 in 2012 but I haven't been able to find any references to it in the documentation. I found some statements in the jetty.xml file which are commented out and would appear to enable SSL on port 8986. But I'm not at all familiar with jetty. Is there some documentation available for enabling this support? Thanks in advance! Giavanna Richards

Uncomprehensible (at least to me) behaviour with external bindings
by Marco Lettere 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Hi all, trying to understand why we get the exception [2] running the code [1] in a Java app, I stumbled upon a strange behaviour of the GUI. I rewrote the query to: xquery:eval(" declare variable $_dep as xs:long* external; $_dep[2] * $_dep[2]", map{ "_dep" : (1,2,3)}) obtaining the correct result (4). Anyway if I assign (1,2,3) to a binding through the proper dialog of the UI I get the following exception at execution: Error: Stopped at /home/lettere/git/dasbox-frontend/dasbox-frontend-ui/webapp/ui/resources/js/monitoring/file, 2/12: [FORG0001] Cannot cast to xs:double: (1,2,3). Strangely enough this happens even if I leave the map overriding locally the values for the external parameters in the xquery:eval. The dialog wins? If I rewrite the query like this and remove the parameter values from the dialog: xquery:eval(" declare variable $_dep as xs:long* external := (1,2,3); $_dep[2] * $_dep[2]") I get yet another typecast exception: Error: Stopped at /home/lettere/git/dasbox-frontend/dasbox-frontend-ui/webapp/ui/resources/js/monitoring/file, 2/12: [XPTY0004] Cannot promote xs:integer+ to $_dep as xs:long*: (1, 2, 3). Is there a nice wording to explain all this different behaviour and might it be that the exception we get in the Java embedded version is somehow related to the same? Thanks a lot for helping, Marco.

Basex Standalone client for R?
by Ben Engbers 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Hi, At the moment I am following a postgraduate course DataScience at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Part of this course is that I will have to do a final project. During the course, I noticed that datascience relies havily on the use of XML. These files are accessed with R and are read from a file-system. >From the past I remembered having worked with Basex once. So I wondered if there exists a stand-alone R-client to Basex so that I can store all the files in Basex and get access to all Basex functionalities. It shows that such a client does not exist. My question is how difficult it is to write such a client and which language should be used (I have some experience with Java)? Would this be a good subject for my project? Greetings, Ben Engbers

copy behavior ?
by Xavier-Laurent SALVADOR 06 Mar '18

Hi List, I was working on multi replacement in Word docx. I saw a strange behavior of "copy/modify". I modified a document.xml and zip my folder content twice when I realized my template was wrong. I had to do it again and, after a hundred tries, I realized that copy/modify clause restored every time the old version of my content. I had to close basexGui and relaunch it to have my changes taken in charge. Hi List, I was working on multi replacement in Word docx. I saw a strange behavior of "copy/modify". I modified a document.xml and zip my folder content twice when I realized my template was wrong.

I had to close basexGui and relaunch it to have my changes taken in charge. Hi List, I was working on multi replacement in Word docx. I saw a strange behavior of "copy/modify". Here is the fact: I use Basex to modify document.xml then zip its folder in a docx file. After a few try, I needed to modify the original and start the process again. But it always zipped back the elder document.xml version I had corrected ... and deleted (I mean, the text inside $doc was the elder version, see infra). I had to close basexGui and relaunch it to have my new file taken in charge. And I have to do this every time I modify the original docx file. Here is the code : declare function local:mapp($path,$space){ for $x at $count in file:list($path) order by $x descending return if (file:is-dir($path||'/'||$x)) then let $s := count(analyze-string($path||$x,'/')//fn:match) return <zip:dir name = "{replace($x,'/$','')}"> {local:mapp($path||'/'||$x,$s)} </zip:dir> else <zip:entry name="{$x}" src="{$path}/{$x}"/> }; for $x in file:read-text-lines('liste.txt') return *copy $doc := doc("/document.xml")* modify for $w in $doc//w:t[.//text() contains text 'XXXXX'] return replace value of node $w with replace($w,'XXXXX',$x) return ( file:write("document.xml",$doc) , let $rep := "/docx" let $dest := "/tmp" return zip:zip-file( <file xmlns="http://expath.org/ns/zip" href="{$dest}/courrier{$count} .docx"> {local:mapp($rep,1)} </file>) ) All the best, X -- Ce message peut contenir des informations réservées exclusivement à son destinataire.

by Marco Lettere 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hi Christian & team, since XML Prague 18 is approaching I remembered that there used to be this wonderful habit of releasing a new BaseX version for the event :-). I am wondering whether there are any timing plans for the 9.0 release. In particular we are eager to test the new features [1] and [2]. Thank you for any updates on the matter and please continue with your incredible work! Best regards, Marco.

Signature of db:add
by Tim Thompson 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hello, The two argument signature of the db:add function does not seem to work ( http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Module#db:add). Is this still valid in BaseX? When I try something like db:add("test", <test/>), I get an error: [FODC0007] Resource path '' is invalid. Thanks! -- Tim A. Thompson Discovery Metadata Librarian Yale University Library

Whitespace chopping / option -w
by Hans-Juergen Rennau 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Dear BaseX team, "whitespace chopping" (which happens by default unless command-line option -w is used) does not only remove "whitespace-only" text nodes, but also leading/trainling whitespace in element content, for example: doc.xml:<hello> BaseX is phantastic! </hello> basex -i doc.xml . => <hello>BaseX is phantastic!</hello> While the result is of course true, I regard leading/trailing whitespace in element content as information which has a different "level of significance" than whitespace-only text nodes. In other words: I think it is an important use case that leading/trailing whitespace must be preserved, while the "pretty print whitespace" should be discarded. Did I overlook a way to get rid of whitespace-only text nodes without touching leading/trailing whitespace in element content? If not, it would be wonderful if you added a new option doing just that. With kind regards -Hans-Jürgen

Update Module question: update:apply
by Bridger Dyson-Smith 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Hi all -- I was working with the update:apply example [1], and it throws an error: [XPTY0004] Cannot convert xs:string to node(): "doc.xml". I'm a little confused by this: if I modify the example, and change the last to `db:add('existing-db', 'doc.xml')` (which is db:add#1, right?), it works fine. However, keeping the local:update and trying to use `db:add#1` generates another error: [XPST0017] db:add(database,input[,path[,options]]): 1 argument supplied, 2-4 expected Would someone be able to shed some light on where this is going wrong? Thanks, Bridger [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Update_Module#update:apply

bug in XSLT
by nikos dimitrakas 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

There seems to be a problem when using baseX to create html with XSLT. Saxon seems to add a META-tag if the head-tag is present. But it is not <meta/>. It is instead <meta> (without closing tag, which is ok in html) and this causes baseX to give an error: The element type "META" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</META>". With the newer version of Saxon the error is the same but the case has been changed to <meta> instead of <META>. This can be easily reproduced with the following query: let $s := <xsl:transform version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html><head/><body/></html> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> return xslt:transform(/, $s) In the new XSLT version there is an option to set the output to xhtml and that works, but the html output (which is the only available option in XSLT 1) fails. The generated meta tag seem to be this <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> I have even tried to override this by specifying that meta tag myself with closing tag but that does not work. I even tried setting the attribute include-content-type in the xsl:output, but it had no effect. Setting the output method to xml would work if the html genererated is in fact correct xml (like in the example above). Output metod "text" seems to also behave strangely. Maybe BaseX ignores the output method and tries to treat everything as xml? /nikos
