Running an XQuery file within a Java Client
by Kavuma, J.M. 01 Mar '12

Hm Martyin, just try the "Run" command (our Wiki may give you some more hints on the existing commands [1]) Christian PS: you are welcome to write to our basex-talk mailing list, as your questions may interest other users as well.

In the examples, queries are only sent to the server as Strings in {new XQuery("")} objects; is this the only way send queries to the server?. I would like to write a query and save it as a file say "foo.xq", and then execute it from a java a client. Is this possible? > Thanks in advance, > Martyin

Listing packages in machine-readable form w/ versioning info?
by Charles Duffy 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Howdy -- As best I can tell, there are currently two ways to list installed packages: - The REPO LIST command, which returns complete output, but in a format clearly intended for human consumption. - The repo:list() function, which is more programatically accessible but returns only namespaces (no version numbers)... simply repeating a single namespace twice if two versions of that package are installed. A mechanism to access the installed package list which includes versioning and directory info (the latter to allow uninstallation of a specific version using repo:delete) would be useful.

access control
by Victor Petrov 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Dear BaseX Community, is it possible to restrict user access on a per-document (or even better, per-element) basis? Imagine that multiple users are sharing the same database and the system needs to prevent XPath queries on the documents/elements which the current user doesn't have access to. If not, is there any other way this functionality could be achieved using BaseX? Thank you in advance! Regards, Victor

Bug#661297: say how to do a perfect HTML round trip, also man page still doesn't mention HTML
by jidanni＠jidanni.org 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

X-debbugs-Cc: basex-talk(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de Package: basex Version: 7.1.1-2 Severity: wishlist We read basex (7.1.1-2) unstable; urgency=low * Allow non well-formed HTML to be parsed if libtagsoup-java is installed. * Updated man page with an example on how to parse HTML. But we find no such example on the man page. Also please add something to http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Parsers ... OK, I added a minimal http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Parsers#HTML_Parsers By the way http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/tagsoup/ says --files Output into individual files, with html extensions changed to xhtml. Otherwise, all output is sent to the standard output. --html Output is in clean HTML: the XML declaration is suppressed, as are end-tags for the known empty elements. --omit-xml-declaration The XML declaration is suppressed. etc. Please mention how we can manipulate these via "declare option...". Also mention how to manipulate the 'SAX features and properties' mentioned. Allow us to attempt a round trip, declare option db:parser "html"; declare option output:method "html"; declare option output:version "4.01"; declare option output:doctype-public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"; declare option output:doctype-system "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"; doc("http://jidanni.org/index.html") Alas, I need to somehow use --html, and also who is putting those shape="rect" into my <a> links?? Ah, maybe --html will fix that too, http://www.xmlplease.com/shaperect . I can accept the fact that comments are stripped, but there should be a way to adjust things so one can get a closer HTML round trip.

Serialization to image files
by Andreas Karpf 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi, I have a question, which sound a little bit strange. Is there away to serialize to image files (png, pdf etc.)? I am graceful fro every hint. I used to use Mac until two months ago. There I serialized to html documents and then used a secondary software to convert these html files to pngs. Unfortunately I can't find anything like that on Linux, with which I am working now. Best regards, Andreas Karpf

BaseX 7.1.2 beta: relative paths within packages
by Andy Bunce 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

I have a built an xar package with a xquery source that imports another module. It has three files as follows: ---expath-pkg.xml------- <package xmlns="http://expath.org/ns/pkg" name="apb.pacman" abbrev="lib" version="0.1" spec="1.0"> <title>package tools</title> <xquery> <namespace>apb.pacman</namespace> <file>pacman.xq</file> </xquery> </package> ----------lib/pacman.xq------- xquery version "1.0" encoding "UTF-8"; module namespace q="apb.pacman"; import module namespace p="parser-basex" at "parser-basex.xq"; declare function q:info() { "hello from pacman" }; declare function q:parse($xq as xs:string) { p:parse-XQuery($xq) }; ----------lib/parser-basex.xq------- xquery version "1.0" ... etc -------------------------------- In the GUI I enter: import module namespace q="apb.pacman"; q:info() I get the error: Error: [XQST0059] Module not found: '/home/andy/parser-basex.xq I was expecting p="parser-basex" at "parser-basex.xq" to be resolved relative to pacman.xq in the repo. Is this a bug, or am I misreading the spec? /Andy

NPE in DataBuilder.stripNS() during RESTPost.run() with rest:context provided

Howdy -- I'm getting a stack trace putting the following query (exact, unmodified) through the REST POST interface on a BaseX snapshot as of this morning: $ curl -X POST -T - -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' \ http://admin:admin@localhost:8984/rest <<EOF <rest:query xmlns:rest="http://basex.org/rest"> <rest:text> / </rest:text> <rest:context> <root> <foobar:root xmlns:foobar="http://example.com/foobar"> <foobar:b/><foobar:b/><foobar:b/> </foobar:root> </root> </rest:context> </rest:query> EOF Unexpected error: null (yes, it requires _three_ of the <foobar:b/> elements before this happens -- execution is fine with just two) Improper use?

Wrong implementation of the position predicate.
by Tayena Hendrickx 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Dear Basex-team members, I'm a PHD-researcher at the University of Antwerp. For one of the courses I assist we are planning to use BaseX in order to learn students the concepts of Xpath and XQuery. We find that the tool is a good way to illustrate things but I found an error. In attachment I've put the XML file I was testing. It's about students, and it's a very small example file. After importing this file, I want to execute the following XPath expression: /child::students/child::student/child::*/ancestor::* This works well as it gives me all the ancestors namely both 'Student' elements and the 'Students' element. But, when I add the following predicate (see bold part in the expression below) it goes wrong: /child::students/child::student/child::*/ancestor::*[position()=1] What should happen according the XPath rules is: give back the first ancestor. Now, the result of 'ancestor::* is (in reverse document order) the right Student element , the left Student element, Students element The second of this is the left student element. But when you execute this, the result that I get are the TWO student elements, with is wrong. If we change the position to 2, I get the StudentS element, which is also wrong. Is it possible to solve this problem? Further I also have some thought about making the GUI better. It should be good to make a distinction between element nodes, attribute nodes and text nodes in the visual presentation of the XML tree. That makes things much clear for users. If you have further questions regarding this mail, please send them and I'll answer as soon as possible. Thanks in advance! Kind regards, -- Tayena Hendrickx Member of the Research Group Advanced Database Research and Modelling (ADReM) University of Antwerp (UA) Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Campus Middelheim (CMI), Building G, Office G2.33
