Hello, I understand that one way to run a rest based XQuery with parameters is to use the following ... http://localhost:8984/rest/DB/mult.xq?a=21&b=2
This is possible if the query is in the BaseX database.
I need to use REST, but the query file (.xq) and .xqm, .xsl files need to be located on the server but not in the database.
Can someone give me a pointer about how to do that?
Thanks, Anupam
Hello Anupam,
You can use the operation RUN, see [1]. It will execute the file within your HTTPPATH. Variable binding is possible as well.
cheers, Dirk

Thanks Dirk for the pointer.
Any idea where to put the .xqm and .xsl files? I'm using them in the query.
Can I simply put them in the HTTPPATH dir as well?
Thanks, Anupam

Yes indeed it works!
For XSLT 2.0 I had to add saxon9.jar to the webapps\BaseX721\WEB-INF\lib directory. Thanks once again to Christian and Dirk. Best regards, Anupam

Hi Anupam, thanks Dirk,

Just try.. It should work as expected, at least with XQuery. Note that BaseX has no native support for XSLT.
