Hello,
Thanks to the developers for the excellent database software. I love basex having used it on windows desktop for some little database-driven projects, but now, I'd like to deploy it in the context of a web application, if possible.
So I read everything I could find about the topic but didn't find a step-by-step guide of how to accomplish it.
I'm not familiar with java, but I tried to deploy the downloadable BaseX war application on Appfog services, and also using Openshift with Tomcat 7.
On Appfog, the process of installing the war file (which seemed to be straightforward) didn't complete and generated a java console error.
(cf http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12283448/deploy-simple-java-web-applicati...)
And on OpenShift, the process of uploading the war file succeeded, the console stating that the build was successful, but when going to the URL of the application, the server generates an internal error HTTP status 500...
(cf https://www.openshift.com/kb/kb-e1088-how-to-deploy-pre-compiled-java-applic...)
From there, I don't know what to do next, but would really like to get a basex web app up and running and interacting with it through the HTTP REST API.
Thanks for any help in this regards. Aurelien
Hello Aurelien,
how to deploy a WAR file heavily depends on the container you are using, so there is no general guidance from us. It might be more advisable to ask on the actual container mailing list (i.e. tomcat, jetty, whatever) or consult their documentation.
Having said that, some time ago I testes BaseX on OpenShift using JBosAS. This documentation actually helped me: https://openshift.github.io/documentation/oo_cartridge_guide.html#jbossas
I just pushed the repository to github: https://github.com/dirkk/openshift-basex
Now, when modifying the RestXQ files I simply edit the files in src/main/webapp, commit (git commit) them and by using git push push them to openshift. Using maven, OpenShift compiles the WAR file and deploys it automatically at http://jbossas-dirkk.rhcloud.com/
Be ware, that when you use OpenShift, everything is subject to your git repository, i.e. they might spawn a new process by cloning your repository. This means, everything you store on the file system which is not in git is actually not safely stored (you can use S3 or similar to do so). So this also applies to BaseX when it stores its database files.
Also, you might want to take a look at the BaseXHTTP version. In this case, BaseX runs within a Jetty servlet container and this is as simple as starting basexhttp. So if you want to be up and running in no time, this might be your safest bet (if you have a web server were you can run java).
Cheers, Dirk

Hi Aurelien,
If you do try the BaseXHTTP server route on OpenShift, rather than the WAR packaging, this repo may help https://github.com/Quodatum/openshift-basex-quick-start. By default just RESTXQ is enabled but it is easy to re-able REST and or Webdav. This uses the OpenShift data directory to provide persistence across restarts.

Andy, Dirk, Christian, many thanks for the indications.
However I still have no luck with openshift as whatever I'm doing, the ssh connection does not want to work.
I tried everything including switching from windows 8 to a windows 7 machine, using git BASH, etc, and even using SFTP via filezilla as explained here:
(https://www.openshift.com/blogs/using-filezilla-and-sftp-on-windows-with-ope...)
as well as following this advices for windows OS: https://www.openshift.com/blogs/tips-for-creating-openshift-apps-with-window...
but each time, it says "Permission Denied" or "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)".
So it does not want to "git clone" the application to the local machine via ssh...
Rather frustrating, but well, I'm patient and open to any suggestion.
Andy,
thanks for the interesting link!

Ah, thanks Andy. Yes, I tried your basex quick start as it seems quite handy.
The application gets correctly created in Openshift, but it is not cloned on the local machine. The first time I tried it cloned it, but then the "git pull" did not work.
I'm going to retry with Putty following the link you provided. Thanks for the advice.
I use windows8. Getting all the ssh keys right can be challenging.

Well, I followed step by step the provided guide with Putty, but it ended up with:
"Server refused our key" and still the message "Disconnected: No supported authentification methods available " etc.
Still no luck with Openshift. It looked like a nice hosting solution though...

simple
as starting basexhttp. So if you want to be up and running in no
time,
this might be your safest bet (if you have a web server were you can run java).

Hello,
Thanks to the developers for the excellent database software. I
love
basex having used it on windows desktop for some little
database-driven
projects, but now, I'd like to deploy it in the context of a web application, if possible.
So I read everything I could find about the topic but didn't find
a
step-by-step guide of how to accomplish it.
I'm not familiar with java, but I tried to deploy the downloadable
BaseX
war application on Appfog services, and also using Openshift with
Tomcat
On Appfog, the process of installing the war file (which seemed to
be
straightforward) didn't complete and generated a java console
error.
(cf
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12283448/deploy-simple-java-web-applicati... )
And on OpenShift, the process of uploading the war file succeeded,
the
console stating that the build was successful, but when going to
the
URL
of the application, the server generates an internal error HTTP
status
500...
(cf
https://www.openshift.com/kb/kb-e1088-how-to-deploy-pre-compiled-java-applic... )
From there, I don't know what to do next, but would really like to
get a
basex web app up and running and interacting with it through the
HTTP
REST API.
Thanks for any help in this regards. Aurelien

Hi Aurelien,
seems like your ssh authentication is not working. Based on the error message I would say there are two possible options: Either your client does not support the authentication protocol (highly unlikely if you use putty; I guess they support everything which is at least common) or (much more likely) there is something wrong with your public/private key. Did you also read the comments under the blog article Andy provided? Some people seem to have the same problem as you have.
However, I can assure you that this error is not related to BaseX, neither is the problem you are facing with deploying WAR files specific to BaseX. There is really nothing we can do about that, as actually serving the files is part of the containers jobs - And if they are doing it complicated, we can't do much about it. In general I agree that it is quite complicated to deploy a simple WAR file to a container (but this also depends on the container, Tomcat and Jetty are actually quite simple... I remember deploying something on a Websphere Application Server once, which was unbelievably complicated. I still sometimes have nightmares about that.... ;-)

Hello Aurelien,
how to deploy a WAR file heavily depends on the container you are using, so there is no general guidance from us. It might be more advisable
to
ask on the actual container mailing list (i.e. tomcat, jetty,
whatever)
or consult their documentation.
Having said that, some time ago I testes BaseX on OpenShift using JBosAS. This documentation actually helped me:
https://openshift.github.io/documentation/oo_cartridge_guide.html#jbossas
I just pushed the repository to github: https://github.com/dirkk/openshift-basex
Now, when modifying the RestXQ files I simply edit the files in src/main/webapp, commit (git commit) them and by using git push push them to openshift. Using maven, OpenShift compiles the WAR file and deploys it automatically at http://jbossas-dirkk.rhcloud.com/
Be ware, that when you use OpenShift, everything is subject to your
git
repository, i.e. they might spawn a new process by cloning your repository. This means, everything you store on the file system
which
is not in git is actually not safely stored (you can use S3 or similar
to
do so). So this also applies to BaseX when it stores its database files.
Also, you might want to take a look at the BaseXHTTP version. In
this
case, BaseX runs within a Jetty servlet container and this is as
simple
as starting basexhttp. So if you want to be up and running in no
time,
this might be your safest bet (if you have a web server were you can run java).

Hi Aurelien,
Sorry you could not get it to work. If you want to try one more time,I have slightly changed the install instructions for https://github.com/Quodatum/openshift-basex-quick-start which should hopefully reduce the potential for running into some issues. Previously the github repo was accessed via the git protocol, now https is used. This should remove the requirement for a github account and github ssh key and also work better through proxies.

Thanks to all for the precious indications and examples.
The issue with ssh was related to creating a new application with the same name as a previously deleted application, on windows at least.
And finally, a WAR deployment is not necessary, which is cool, thanks to the openshift basex quick start repository mentioned above.
Best wishes ab
Well, I followed step by step the provided guide with Putty, but it ended up with:
"Server refused our key" and still the message "Disconnected: No supported authentification methods available " etc.
Still no luck with Openshift. It looked like a nice hosting solution though...
I use windows8. Getting all the ssh keys right can be challenging. Are you able to create just a simple DIY app? and then ssh into it. see https://www.openshift.com/blogs/access-your-application-gear-using-ssh-with-... . Beyond that which of approaches above are you trying? If it is https://github.com/Quodatum/openshift-basex-quick-start .Which step fails?

However I still have no luck with openshift as whatever I'm doing, the ssh connection does not want to work.
I tried everything including switching from windows 8 to a windows 7 machine, using git BASH, etc, and even using SFTP via filezilla as explained here:

as well as following this advices for windows OS:

but each time, it says "Permission Denied" or "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic)".
So it does not want to "git clone" the application to the local machine via ssh...
Rather frustrating, but well, I'm patient and open to any suggestion.
Andy,
thanks for the interesting link!

Hello Aurelien,
how to deploy a WAR file heavily depends on the container you are using, so there is no general guidance from us. It might be more advisable
to
ask on the actual container mailing list (i.e. tomcat, jetty,
whatever)
or consult their documentation.
Having said that, some time ago I testes BaseX on OpenShift using JBosAS. This documentation actually helped me:
https://openshift.github.io/documentation/oo_cartridge_guide.html#jbossas
I just pushed the repository to github: https://github.com/dirkk/openshift-basex
Now, when modifying the RestXQ files I simply edit the files in src/main/webapp, commit (git commit) them and by using git push
push
them to openshift. Using maven, OpenShift compiles the WAR file and deploys it automatically at http://jbossas-dirkk.rhcloud.com/
Be ware, that when you use OpenShift, everything is subject to your
git
repository, i.e. they might spawn a new process by cloning your repository. This means, everything you store on the file system
which
is not in git is actually not safely stored (you can use S3 or similar
to
do so). So this also applies to BaseX when it stores its database files.
Also, you might want to take a look at the BaseXHTTP version. In
this
case, BaseX runs within a Jetty servlet container and this is as
simple
as starting basexhttp. So if you want to be up and running in no
time,
this might be your safest bet (if you have a web server were you
can
run java).

I mean, if anyone has a working workflow for installing a Basex Web Application on a server via a windows machine, it would be really cool.
I'd just like to use BaseX as a REST Database in a web application but it seems quite complicated to set up.
Might eventually try with a mac if it works better but if I could set it up on my windows machine it would be very neat. Thanks.
Andy, Dirk, Christian, many thanks for the indications.

Hello,

database-driven
projects, but now, I'd like to deploy it in the context of a web application, if possible.

I'm not familiar with java, but I tried to deploy the downloadable

Tomcat
On Appfog, the process of installing the war file (which seemed to

the

of the application, the server generates an internal error HTTP
status
500...
(cf

From there, I don't know what to do next, but would really like to
get a
basex web app up and running and interacting with it through the
HTTP
REST API.
Thanks for any help in this regards. Aurelien
