Thank you for the reply Christian,

I 've not tried the examples in the [1], but the ones I am using are identical.
code snippet:
Class cl = Class.forName("org.basex.api.xmldb.BXDatabase");
Database database = (Database) cl.newInstance();
DatabaseManager.registerDatabase(database);
DatabaseManager.getCollection("xmldb:basex://<theserverip>:1984/wcs-collection", "admin", "admin") //error in this line


I 've just tried the XQJ
        try {
            XQDataSource xqjd = new BaseXXQDataSource();
            xqjd.setProperty("serverName", "http://<theserverip>:1984/wcs-collection/");
            xqjd.setProperty("port", "1984");
            XQConnection xqjc = xqjd.getConnection("admin", "admin");
        } catch (XQException e1) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
and I have an java.net.UnknownHostException.

Yannis

Hi Ioannis,


I am trying to connect to a baseX (remote) server through xmldb-api
following the examples in the git-hub but it fails giving Invalid Uri error.

Could you please provide us with a little code snippet? Do the
examples work that are linked from our examples page [1]?

Best,
Christian

PS: We tend to deprecate the use of the XML:DB API, because both the
spec and our driver has not been updated for a while. The XQJ API is
probably the more up-to-date choice.

I can access the database through REST using the following url:
http://<serverip>:8181/BaseX772/rest/wcs-collection/
but I cannot connect using the xmldb url
xmldb:basex://<serverip>:1984/wcs-collection
or xmldb:basex://<serverip>:1984/
or xmldb:basex://<serverip>:1984/rest
or using the 8181 port.
