Bug: baseX can't create XMLDB with non utf-8 xml String
by l0979365428＠gmail.com 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Dear baseX creater: If it is xml file ,it 's ok. If it is xml String, BaseX only receives utf-8 encoding of XML. The reasion is : //---------------------------------------------------// public static IO get(final String s) { if(s == null) return new IOFile(""); if(s.startsWith("<")) return newIOContent(Token.token(s)); if(s.startsWith("http://")) return new IOUrl(s); return new IOFile(s); //---------------------------------------------------------// public static byte[] token(final String s) { final int l = s.length(); if(l == 0) return EMPTY; final byte[] bytes = new byte[l]; for(int i = 0; i < l; i++) { final char c = s.charAt(i); if(c > 0x7F) return utf8(s); bytes[i] = (byte) c; } return bytes; //-----------------------------------------------// Doesn't parse with the head of XML file. But this programe create xml struts with Sax which pares the xml with the head info. For this reason，it'll make mistakes once the XML String is not UTF-8. I fix it : if(s.startsWith("<")) return new IOContent(Token.encoding(s)); //----------------------------------------------// public static byte[] encoding(final String s) { final int l = s.length(); if(l == 0) return EMPTY; int i=0; int j =0; StringBuilder ss=new StringBuilder(); char hope[]=new char[]{'c','=','"','"'}; while (true) { final char c = s.charAt(i); if(hope[j]==c) j++; if(j==4) break; if(j>2&&c!=hope[j-1]) { ss.append(c); } i++; } final byte[] bytes = new byte[l]; for(int k = 0; k < l; k++) { final char c = s.charAt(k); if(c > 0x7F) return others(s,ss.toString()); bytes[k] = (byte) c; } return bytes; } //-----------------------------------------------// I wonder if you could fix this bug in the next version. Also BaseX doesn't support the String of xml with namespace build DB. And I have no idea. PS: BaseX57,Jdk1.5 best wishes Ruby

You can throw in the -i argument to end up in the console mode. Note that all admin commands can as well be used from another client, which is logged in with admin rights. > I solved another problem I got an now the Client code ask for login > and password, but now it just times out every time I try to log on. So you're getting a "Timeout exceeded." message? Hm, this would indicate that the server isn't reachable. Are you sure the ports are opened and available? > When I am logging on I am able to use the default admin/admin > login/password right? > My CentOS server, where the BaseX server is, have a password for every > user but If I have opened the port I dont need to go through any proxy > there, I just use admin/admin? …exactly, admin/admin is the default login. You may adjust the admin password or add more users in the next step.

xquery replace
by Travis Webb 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

I am trying to use xquery replace but cannot, it seems, figure out the correct syntax. As I understand it, the replace query should be of the form: "xquery replace expr with node", so I'm trying to do the following: > xquery replace root()/child with <child>new data</child> Stopped at line 1, column 15: Syntax: XQUERY [query] Evaluate XQuery. I've tried a number of variations but I get the same error. Any ideas? Thanks. -tjw

How to address a document inside a basex database?
by Sandra Maria Silcot 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

Hi all, I have a large database of about a dozen separate xml files. When I use the GUI interface, I can see them all in the graphical display, and as I pass the cursor over elements, it displays doc("om.xml")/... But when I try that in a query (the database is open), I'm told: FODC0002 File or directory C:/servers/basex/om.xml not found The basex installation is at C:/servers/basex and the currently opened database ("fasdb"), which was loaded from file 'om.xml' and others on a different machine, and downloaded, lives here: C:/servers/basex/BaseXData/fasdb How can I refer just to one document from that db in a query e.g. let $persons := doc("om.xml")//person Forgive me if this is a basic error on my part, I am still learning. I have tried variations on the basex:db construct, but all give a file not found error. If I move the document to where it is looking, basex builds a new db, not what I want at all! I'm sure there is a simple solution but I cannot see it. Any clues much appreciated. Cheers all, Sandra

Problems connecting to the database
by Daniel .Petersen 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hay Just started using baseX and have uploaded til executable .jar file to my server. Then i use the command: java -cp BaseX6.jar org.basex.BaseXServer -p 7000 To set up a server listening on port 7000. And i says "BaseX 6.0 [server] \n Server was started" and not as it says in the guide "Waiting for requests...", is that a problem? My intention is to be able to connect to my BaseX DB with a client from my pc to the server where the DB is. Then I on my pc run the command: java -cp BaseX6.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -s [ip on my server] -p 7000 to try connecting, but then it just displays the help message and are not doing anything. I am expecting a new console where I where able to write commands to my baseX server, is that not the intention? Thanks in advance for reading this and I hope for a quick answer. ~DWP

XPath or ID for node
by Perry Trolard 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Dear List, I wonder if there's a method in BaseX for getting a unique identifier for a node. If I had a document in memory & was using, say, Saxon, I'd call a method on the node to return its location as an XPath string, but using XQuery in BaseX, is there a "somefn" such that for $d in $doc//date return <result path="{somefn($d}">{$d}</result> would return <result path="/root/date[5]"><date when="2010-03-25"/></result> or some such? I understand that nodes are identified internally in BaseX by their pre-order traversal index – is there a way get the pre number? If not directly from an XQuery function, perhaps in some of the Java client code? My use case is that I'd like to return elements – <date>'s, e.g. – with info about their location in the document so that later & on-demand I can get more info about certain dates – ancestor elements, &c; so, in short, I'd like to get a handle on the node for later retrieval. Thanks, Perry Trolard

xqresultsequence : retrieve item as node or string?
by Travis Webb 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

I have a question regarding efficiency in the xqresultsequence in the XQJ API. I've found no documentation on how this object is actually represented. Does anyone know if it is faster to request the result as a string (getItemAsString(null)) or as a DOM node (getNode())? Any info is appreciated. Thanks. -tjw
