Whatever happened to DeepFS
by Andy Bunce 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

Hi, I was looking for this feature in version 7. https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/pipermail/basex-talk/2011-January/000994.ht… says it was temporarily removed from the GUI but create fs [name] [path] gives an error in 7.0.1. Is this feature gone for good now? /Andy

BaseX Serializer
by Tiberiu Tofan 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hi, I work on a project involving some large xml files that we need to search for specific attribute values, and I tried a solution based on BaseX database. After several hours of searching I found no way to serialize the answer as I needed (the elements that had the searched attribute value and all their parents). As I only had two days for a proof-of-concept I made my own serializer and now the result is as I expect it to be. As I find these feature to be useful I attached the source code and maybe you'll consider to include such a feature in a future release. Unfortunately I had to hack Serializer.java, as the node() method was final, and I suggest you at least to make the Serializer more configurable (eg. a properties file for the serialization options and the class to use and then reflection, splitting the node() method into several override-able sub-methods). On the other hand, maybe there is a way to obtain the result I needed using the existing features of basex, but as I told you I hadn't much time and this seemed to me the quickest solution. Best Regards, Tiberiu Tofan

basexhttp server serving html document?
by Erol Akarsu 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Christian, I would like to know the scalability and performance of basex if we used it as Web server serving HTML documents for web clients. Think about we would be using basexhttp server. Have we done any load testing for multiple concurrent users on basexhttp server? Do we have any performance metrics available to share with me?

Portuguese stemmer
by Michael Piotrowski 10 Dec '11

Hi, When trying to use the Portuguese stemmer (from the GUI), I get the following error: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Version: BaseX 7.0.2 Java: Apple Inc., 1.6.0_29 OS: Mac OS X, x86_64 Stack Trace: java.lang.NullPointerException org.basex.util.Token.token(Token.java:154) org.basex.util.ft.LuceneStemmer.stem(LuceneStemmer.java:133) org.basex.util.ft.Stemmer.nextToken(Stemmer.java:96) org.basex.util.ft.FTLexer.nextToken(FTLexer.java:119) org.basex.index.ft.FTBuilder.index(FTBuilder.java:122) org.basex.index.ft.FTTrieBuilder.build(FTTrieBuilder.java:48) org.basex.index.ft.FTTrieBuilder.build(FTTrieBuilder.java:1) org.basex.core.cmd.ACreate.index(ACreate.java:154) org.basex.core.cmd.ACreate.index(ACreate.java:131) org.basex.core.cmd.CreateIndex.run(CreateIndex.java:63) org.basex.core.Command.run(Command.java:328) org.basex.core.Command.run(Command.java:116) org.basex.gui.dialog.DialogProgress$1.run(DialogProgress.java:135) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I had a look in lucene-stemmers-3.4.0.jar; could the problem be that the Portuguese stemmer is actually a Snowball, not a Lucene stemmer?

basex 7.0.2: no context item for root error
by Andy Bunce 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Hi with the factbook.xml database open in the 7.0.2 gui declare function local:linkto($id as xs:string){ let $d:=//city let $a:=$d[@id=$id] return $a }; local:linkto("f0_1461") Gives the "no context item for root" error on the //city line, but declare function local:linkto($id as xs:string){ let $a:=//city[@id=$id] return $a }; local:linkto("f0_1461") Works fine. Should it give the same error? If it should, and I try to pass the nodes into the function then the relative performance is not good at all. declare function local:linkto2($id as xs:string,$nodes as node()*){ let $c:=$nodes[@id=$id] let $n:=name($c[1]) return <a href="/fb/{$n}/{$id}"> {$c/name/string()} </a> }; let $caps:=//country/@capital/string() for $id in $caps return local:linkto2($id,//city) /Andy

Old factbook/Mo version
by Andy Bunce 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Hi, The version of factbook.xml http://files.basex.org/xml/factbook.xml is not the latest. It suffers from repeated ids. The happens for cities in more than one province. http://www.dbis.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/Mondial/ has a more up to date version with a slightly different schema without this problem. (As used by existDb :-) /Andy

reporting a BUG in the IOFile class
by VORS, Guilhem (CIMPA SAS) 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

To all the baseX team, First of all I would like to thank you for the great tool you made. We use it almost every day in our team. One member had actually developed a pluggin for xml validation some years ago. To the bug trackers, I would like to report a strange behaviour regarding the IOFile class, using baseX702 jar file, eclipse indigo, along with JDK 1.7.0_01 When trying to execute the CreateDB command to build a local baseX database from a distant file (say fileInputPath = "//filer/distant/file.xml"), when you proceed with the static method by doing: BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream( fileInputPath)); SAXSource saxSource = new SAXSource(new InputSource(bis)); SAXWrapper saxWrapper = new SAXWrapper(saxSource, context.prop); CreateDB.create(dbName, saxWrapper, context); Everything works fine. BUT, when you try to do the same using the non static method, by doing (which I need because I have to report the progress of the create command in a JProgressBar): create = new CreateDB(dbName, fileInputPath); create.execute(context); You get the following exception: org.basex.core.BaseXException: "filer/distant/file.xml ": (here the path where the command is run)/filer/distant/file.xml (unknown path or something like that (in French it's :"le chemin d'accès spécifié est introuvable")). After some bug tracking, it appears that in the function create, in static class PathList, inside the IOFile class, there is a mistreatment of the path, here is the function: static class PathList extends StringList { /** * Creates a path. * @param path input path * @return path */ String create(final String path) { final TokenBuilder tb = new TokenBuilder(); final int l = path.length(); for(int i = 0; i < l; ++i) { final char ch = path.charAt(i); if(ch == '\\' || ch == '/') add(tb); else tb.add(ch); } add(tb); for(int s = 0; s < size; ++s) { // if(s == 0 && (path.startsWith("\\\\") || path.startsWith("//"))) tb.add("//"); // this is my current "hack" to resolve the problem) if(s != 0 || path.startsWith("/")) tb.add('/'); tb.add(list[s]); } return tb.toString(); } If I don't uncomment my line, I get the error described above, because the TokenBuilder remove the first two '/' from the path it builds. What I have done to solve the problem, is to make a local copy of IOFile + CreateDB, and I have added the line commented, to add the leading '//' in front of remote file access. This workaround works well for my project, but it is not convenient for me, as I would like to get the new versions of baseX. Could you please find a way to resolve this problem, I don't know if it is intentional, or even if I'm using it the right way. Again thank you for your professional quality software. I'm waiting forward to have news from you.

can't call the outer most return value by name
by jidanni＠jidanni.org 09 Dec '11

Odd, one can see <R> but not access by it. Run this: declare function local:K($x){ switch ($x) case 2 return <R><name>N</name><o><name>Y</name></o></R> default return() }; " A",local:K(2)//*:R, " B",local:K(2)/o/name, (: shows we are already at the root :) " C",local:K(2)/., (: reveals R is really in there, but can't be called by name :) " D",local:K(2)/./R What's the deal?
