Hi Hans-Juergen,

This smells like you did not "uninstall" all of your last version of BaseX.
I only use unzipped .zip distributions myself so I can only tell you how I upgrade those:
* have all special JARs (saxon or whatever you need) in lib/custom
* delete all files in lib

* delete BaseX.jar

* unzip the new version of basex and copy lib and BaseX.jar to your project
* also replace the .bat and .sh files in bin if you did not edit them for say more RAM or different port.

if you edited them you need to move these changes over.

Best regards

Dear BaseX people,

suddenly RESTXQ does not work any more on my machine. (Here, "suddenly" means when using RESTXQ again after a pause of three months and having installed a new BaseX version in the meantime, 11.0 beta.)

Any attempt to access a RESTXQ-defined URL produces a mysterious error message:

HTTP ERROR 500 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/basex/build/text/TextOptions

URI: /dba

STATUS: 500

MESSAGE: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/basex/build/text/TextOptions

SERVLET: RESTXQ

Emptying the lib/custom folder did not help. Neither did a reinstallation of BaseX (see PS).

With kind regards -

Hans-Jürgen

PS: After observing the error, I tried to install the official release (10.7). To my amazement, the version did not change, it remained the 11.0 beta snapshot, even after restarting the machine. And, of course, the error remained. (After this, I felt knocked out myself. Is there anything that I understand?)
