Hi, Apparently, I cannot access the visualization panels in the GUI on my Mac (10.13.6) (they cannot be selected): am I missing anything? Thanks. Best, Giuseppe

Keeping access to .logs after Docker crash.
by France Baril 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Hi, we are experimenting with Docker and get a lot of system crash, However, since we need to recreate the container each time, we can't get access to error messages. I'm not sure if our issue is from the lack of Docker experience, but we'd be open to ideas on tracking issues when using containers. Thanks -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com

Test if basexserver is running?
by Ben Engbers 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hi, Last year I have written a R-client for basex (https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/tree/master/basex-api/src/main/r/RbaseXCli…). The present version uses no exception handling and you have to include the source-file in your R-code. A much cleaner solution would be catch all the errors and to pack the sources in a package. At this moment, I am working on such a R-package. The first test that should be executed in the package, is to test if a basexserver is available. How can I test on Linux, Apple and Windows if a baseserver is running? Ben

BaseX Docker logs
by Marie Starck 31 Aug '19

31 Aug '19

Hello, I am currently running a BaseX server with Docker and for the past week, it has exited twice with this message: /usr/local/bin/basexhttp: line 20: 25 Killed java -cp "$CP" $BASEX_JVM org.basex.BaseXHTTP "$@" I want to debug more but I haven't been able to find the basex .logs in my docker container. I am using basexhttp:8.6.4. Any ideas where it could be? Thank you very much, Marie

xs:string("<")
by Giuseppe G. A. Celano 25 Aug '19

Hi, I am wondering why xs:string("&") is not possible, but xs:string("<") is (although XML does not allow both ). Is there any reason? Thanks. Best, Giuseppe

Processing instruction constructors: problem with output
by Tim Thompson 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Hello, I'm trying to output an XForms (XSLTForms) document from a RESTXQ endpoint, but the necessary processing instructions are being serialized in XML comments in the output, e.g.:  Am I missing something? XQuery: xquery version "3.1"; module namespace test = "test"; declare %rest:path("/test") %rest:GET %output:method("xhtml") function test:home() as document-node() { document { processing-instruction { "xml-stylesheet" } { 'type="text/xsl" href="static/xphoneforms/build/xsl/xsltforms.xsl"' }, processing-instruction { "xsltforms-options" } { 'debug="no"' }, processing-instruction { "css-conversion" } { 'no' } , <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xforms=" http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" xmlns:my="test" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <h1>Placeholder</h1> </body> </html> } }; -- Tim A.

ePub zips via REST and functional XQuery
by Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g) 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

BTW: I was pleasantly surprised to discover that when I made a BaseX database with an ePub zip file, and selected the appropriate options ( Parse files in archives, add other files as raw files ) I was able to serve and view the ePub files thru the rest interface, and links from the TOC to other document parts, as well as images in the ePUB all worked. I’m also enjoying learning to use some of the higher order function capabilities of XQuery 3.1 . The arrow syntax and the partial function application seem to be a great way to build a pipelines of transforms that can mix xslt:transform with XQuery functions . The results here aren’t very useful — I was just learning and testing the syntax, but this uses the partial application ‘?’ Syntax to convert functions of N-args to functions of 1 arg, and build a list of 1-arg functions to feed to fold-left. The use case would be to create a map of lists of pipeline functions to be applied for different targets. Not sure if maintaining pipeline lists is a better way to manage this than just building pipelines using arrow => operator, but I was just trying to explore some of the possible methods. let $docid := 'SIB/sibv060.xml' let $t1 := xslt:transform( ?, "/projects/SIB/add_id_bov.xsl" ) let $t2 := xslt:transform( ?, "/projects/XTF/xtf.lib/style/dynaXML/docFormatter/tei/teiDocFormatter.xsl", map{ 'docId' : $docid }) let $t3 := function($in) { $in//* } let $pipe := ( $t1, $t2, $t3, function($x) { $x ! name(.) }, distinct-values#1 ) let $chain := function( $a, $b ) { $b($a) } return fold-left( $pipe, doc($docid) , $chain )

Db:list-details()/@modified-date
by Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g) 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

I thought I could use db:list-details($db)/@modified-date to select the resources that have most recently been updated ( to generate an OAI or RSS feed ) however, on doing a db:replace of one of the resources, I’m either not seeing the date change at all, or I’m seeing the modified-date of all of the resources update together. I find an explanation in the archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de/msg09668.ht… > Exactly: Nothing will be replaced in BaseX if your source and target > XML node is identical (this holds true for both documents as well as > any other node in a document). > > Please note that XML documents have no individual timestamps in BaseX. > Instead the timestamp of the database will be changed if nodes are > changed. > Do I parse that correctly in saying that when I try to replace a document with an identical document, it doesn’t register as an update, but when I do change and update the document, it changes the timestamp for the whole database, and there is no timestamp for individual resources ? So I assume that if I want to track updated resources, I would have to either add timestamps to the documents themselves, or else track this info somewhere else, maybe in SQL and use sql: functions from within BaseX. Maybe best method is to add timestamp as a processing instruction or comment to avoid any changes to the body of the document: insert node processing-instruction modifiedDateTime { current-dateTime()} as first into $D That would work if doing the updates from an XQuery script and calling db:replace and then adding the timestamp, However, not very reliable if the resource can be updated by another method ( WEBDAV for example ) unless there is a way to trigger xquery function on update. I find from searching the mailing list archives a link to an issue discussing adding database triggers, but it appears to be on hold: https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/1082 Any news on this or suggestions of alternatives ? — Steve Majewski
