Dear all, I'm trying to download a jpg from the web and then write it in a file. Everything goes right, but at the end the file is not a valid image... it contains extra bytes... could you please tell me where I went wrong ? declare default element namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; file:write-binary('c:/fe/img.jpg', http:send-request(<http:request method='get' override-media-type=image/jpeg'/>, http:send-request(<http:request method='get' />, 'http://www.patentsoffice.ie/eregister/register/TMRegister.aspx?idAppli= 2005/01446')[2]//img/@src[contains(.,'TM')]/data() ) ) With a typeswitch I can see that the response body is a xs:base64Binary, so it should fit correctly in the file:write-binary function... best regards Fabrice ETANCHAUD Senior Software Engineer edital Berkenlaan 1 B-1831 Brussels, Belgium <skype:fabrice.etanchaud?call> +32 2 716 32 32 general +32 2 716 32 20 fax fetanchaud(a)edital.com corsearch.com <http://www.corsearch.com/> | edital.com <http://www.edital.com/> Confidentiality Notice: This email and its attachments (if any) contain confidential information of the sender.

BaseX on Android
by Andy Bunce 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Hi, I remember seeing some discussion of research into this a while back. I have just got a Android tablet so was wondering what the state of play is on this? I come across JBED http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189303which seems to claim the ability to run jars though an emulation layer. I tried this but it is looking for a midlet/jad descriptor file. I will investigate this, but has anybody been down this route? /Andy

how to get at the XML within the XML?

I triggered a bug. make basex -q 'declare option output:cdata-section-elements "desc M";document{(doc("AMFMXTaiwan.gpx")//*:wpt[1]/*:desc/data())}' Potential bug? Improper use?

You see I'm trying to figure how to get a inner shred of XML, <description><![CDATA[<ul><li>復興廣播電台...</li><li>台北市士...</li><li>丙</li></ul>]]></description> parsed just like the enclosing file. Maybe I need some "util:eval()". You see I want to access the inner elements with //li[2] etc. instead of matches(*:desc,concat('/li><li>(',$x,')')) like a dweeb. Help.

Fwd: Insert position of attributes
by Jan Vlčinský (CAD) 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

Hi Regarding the (not existent) requirement for attribute order: In http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#sec-starttags there is a note "Note that the order of attribute specifications in a start-tag or empty-element tag is not significant." And my recommendation is: Do not put any extra requirements to any XML, which is not really needed. In case of attributes, you may and up promissing your consumers that the order of attributes will be as you define, and later you may have problems switching tools, which follow W3C recommendation, but not your extra promise. So the general advice is: keep your promises at minimum possible, it will easy work for you and also for your partners. The same often applies, when people start insisting on certain XML encoding, encoding or not encoding of special characters - all these requirements are more cosmetic then practical and often do originate from people, who do not understand the topic so well, but are well trained in the exercise "find three differences it those two pictures".

cdata-section-elements collisions

declare option output:cdata-section-elements "description"; works great, except that I want it to work only on my //Folder/description's not my //Placemark/description's. I read http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/REC-xslt-xquery-serialization-20101214/index.html… and http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Serialization and no matter what I do...

Dear Sir, My name is Tuguldur from Mongolia. I am database architecturer of CSMS. So i want to develop BaseX to Mongolian language so much. I'm finally done, but the one thing i can't change that application name of 7.0.3 "beta" to 7.0.3 /"бета хувилбар" in Mongolian/. If it is done, one international version may has done. so please how can i fix that own problem.I look forward to your reply. thank you. Yours sincerely Bayangol district, 7-25 Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

running server commands from a script?
by C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

From time to time, I find myself wanting to run BaseX server commands from a shell script. For example, if I have two or three documents I'd like to add to a database, it's easy enough to do so from the GUI interface, or from the interactive server prompt. But if it's five or ten documents (and even more so if it's a few hundred or a few thousand documents), entering the commands interactively can become tedious and error prone. When the files are available on the local file system, I can use wildcards and I can add a directory at a time. But when the files are on a remote server and identified by URI instead of file name, I guess that won't work. What I think I'm looking for is the ability to specify a sequence of BaseX server commands and have it run that sequence of commands -- or some other way of being able to specify a list of filenames or URIs and have them all added to a given database. For example CREATE DATABASE demo OPEN demo ADD http://example.com/docs/a.xml ADD http://example.com/docs/b.xml ADD http://example.com/docs/c.xml ADD http://example.com/docs/d.xml ADD http://example.com/docs/e.xml ... ADD http://example.com/docs/z.xml RENAME http://example.com/docs/ / # I'd use ADD to a.xml http://example.com/docs/a.xml, but # that doesn't seem to have the effect I expect. But # RENAME works for what I need There is certainly a lot of BaseX documentation I have not read, but I have not found any mention of this kind of thing. Have I overlooked it? One technique that I guess would work would be to exploit the new REST interface (very nice, by the way!) and write a bash script that went something like this: curl http://localhost:8984/rest?command=CREATE+DATABASE+demo curl http://localhost:8984/rest/demo?command=ADD+http://example.com/docs/a.xml curl http://localhost:8984/rest/demo?command=ADD+http://example.com/docs/b.xml curl http://localhost:8984/rest/demo?command=ADD+http://example.com/docs/c.xml curl http://localhost:8984/rest/demo?command=ADD+http://example.com/docs/d.xml curl http://localhost:8984/rest/demo?command=ADD+http://example.com/docs/e.xml ... curl http://localhost:8984/rest/demo?command=ADD+http://example.com/docs/z.xml curl http://localhost:8984/rest/demo?command=RENAME+http://example.com/docs/+/ or rather CURL="curl --user X:secretpasswd" $CURL http://localhost:8984/rest?command=CREATE+DATABASE+demo etc. But if there is s nicer way to handle this case, I'd be glad to learn about it. Perhaps this is when I should buckle down and learn how to do this kind of thing with XQuery Update? Thanks!

Re: [basex-talk] Insert position of attributes
by Dave Glick 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

After a little more investigation of the XQuery Update standard, it looks to me like BaseX is doing this right and the standard does not allow for positioning of attribute insertions (unless there's another approach I've overlooked). In case anyone else has a similar question - all insert operations involving attributes resolve to the function upd:insertAttributes which does not allow for positioning. It appears as though the modifiers "as first" and "as last" are ignored in the case of attributes. I suppose this makes sense if the ordering of attributes in XML is unimportant and undefined. Can anyone clarify what the XML/XDM standard has to say on the topic of attribute ordering? It's a little confusing because many XML processors attempt to present attributes with some kind of explicit ordering (as an example, see the .NET XmlAttributeCollection class which allows programmatic insertion of attributes before/after a reference attribute). Thanks (again), Dave From: Dave Glick Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 12:37 PM To: basex-talk(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de Subject: Insert position of attributes How would one go about inserting an attribute at a specific position (i.e., somewhere other than at the front of the attribute list)? I would expect the following expression would do the trick: "insert node attribute aname {'avalue'} as last into //XYZ" but it still inserts the attribute at the front of the attribute list. By looking at the code in the InsertAttribute update primitive, I can see that it's hardcoded to insert at the front of the attribute list. Does this mean that there is no way to control attribute insertion location? Does the XQuery Update standard not allow such an update or is this a bug/oversight on the part of BaseX? Thanks! Dave
