Approaches to Implement OpenID/OAuth 2.0 with BaseX
by Eric Murphy 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

I am looking at what may be involved to implement OAuth 2.0 for BaseX. I guess the purpose of this would be to verify credentials against a BaseX whitelist that can only be modified by a system administrator. The authentication would be required for REST access to BaseX. Has anyone already given this some thought? Thanks, Eric

Namespace Bug!
by Truong An Nguyen 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hello, When I tried to execute the query in the file query.xq on the XML file DiagCom.otx, BaseX generated the false namespace for the following element <action>: <action xmlns="http://iso.org/OTX/StandardInterface/Event" name="GetComChannel0" id="id_f87ea71dd006450c9aa5085c9648d8e9"> (xmlns shouldn't be generated here) Could you please quickly fix this error for me? Many thanks. Cheers, An

streaming the output to another file in BaseX database
by Huy Vu 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Hello, I am writing my code in Java and the result after querying xml files in my BaseX database is very large, about 500MB. Thus, I would like to stream the output to another xml file in the BaseX database. Could you tell me how to do this? Many thanks, Huy Vu -- Huy Vu Oxford University, United Kingdom http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/people/huy.vu/

Using the BaseX REST interface from JavaScript
by Michael Piotrowski 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

Hi, I'm new at this, so please excuse if I missed something obvious... BaseX implements a REST interface via basexhttp and JavaScript frameworks like Ext JS allow you to use a REST interface for accessing data. So I thought it may be possible to create a Web interface to a corpus stored in BaseX that enables users to search the corpus and update the annotations *without* writing server-side code. The first obstacle I encountered is that under the same-orgin policy browsers consider localhost and localhost:8984 two separate domains and inhibit XmlHttpRequests calls, and basexhttp seems not to support cross-origin resource sharing (see <http://enable-cors.org/>). Using BaseX as a data store for an Ext JS component without having to write server-side code seems very attractive. However, I'm now wondering whether this approach makes sense at all. Has anybody tried to do something like this? Thanks in advance! Best regards -- Dr.-Ing.

Approaches for XML merging and conflict resolution
by Eric Murphy 19 Dec '11

19 Dec '11

All, I am looking at using BaseX for a prototype that requires synchronization of XML data. In other words, XML documents may need to be merged and there might be conflicts. This seems like a complex issue and I wonder if anyone has conquered this before. The only thing that I can think of to do is to version nodes which may have conflicts. For example: <person> <name> <first version="2">Erik</first>  <last version="1">Murphy</last> </name> </person> If I do a merge and the <first> version is >= last known version (1) + 1 ( which is 2 or greater), then I would know there is a conflict. A possible solution is there could be a deferment of conflict resolution, and data could be inserted like this: <person> <name> <first version="3">Eric</first>  <first version="2">Erik</first> <last version="1">Murphy</last> </name> </person> The application would be responsible for resolving the conflict when the nodes are read at a later time. Like I said, this all seems very complicated, so maybe there is an elegant solution which I have not thought of. Thank you, Eric Murphy

Whatever happened to DeepFS

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
