Readers,
A new file is trying to be created, with a html form using the element 'select'. The objective is to select from a menu and return a new html page after processing of the xquery function.
From the web page about http requests
(http://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ#HTTP_Methods), where is the content type to be written in the xqm file?
(:~ : This module contains some basic examples for RESTXQ annotations : @author BaseX Team :) module namespace page = 'http://basex.org/modules/web-page';
(:~ : This function generates the welcome page. : @return HTML page :) declare %rest:path("") %output:method("xhtml") %output:omit-xml-declaration("no") %output:doctype-public("-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.1//EN") %output:doctype-system("http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/xhtml-basic11.dtd") function page:start() as element(Q{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml%7Dhtml) { <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>BaseX HTTP Services</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="static/style.css"/> </head> <body> <h3>Example 2</h3> <p>The next example presents how form data is processed via RESTXQ and the POST method:</p> <form method='get' name='databasequeryform' > <p> <select name='booktitle' > <option> Everyday Italian </option> <option> Harry Potter </option> </select> <input type="submit" value='send' /> </p> </form> </body> </html> }; declare %rest:path("/form") %rest:GET function page:post() { let $x := fn:doc("xmldatabasefile.xml")/bookstore/book/title[contains(text(),'Everyday Italian')]/parent::* return $x }; declare %rest:path("/put") %rest:PUT("{$body}") function page:put($body) { || $body };
