BaseX embedded
by Charles F. Munat 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

I'm working on a Maven web project and I'd like to use BaseX in embedded mode to store XML and XHTML documents. I've experimented with other databases in embedded mode, and generally I include a jar (hopefully via Maven, though not always), then I can use the API to create a session, create databases, collections, and documents, run queries, etc. I found the well-hidden Maven configuration to add Maven to the pom.xml file, but I am having a hard time finding any documentation or examples that show me how to use the API. The examples I have found use sockets to connect to a running instance of the database server. This is not what I had in mind. Is it the only way to use BaseX, or am I missing a more direct way? Thanks for clarification... Chas.

Hi everyone, thanks for your continuous and diligent feedback on BaseX and its development. As we are currently rescheduling priorities for new features, we invite you to give us a summary, or list, of the features you'd want to have integrated most desperately in BaseX. There is always enough to do anyway. Don't hesitate to get visionary, or greedy, though; the more serious input we get, the better we'll be able to serve everyone's needs in future. All the best, Christian ___________________________ Christian Grün University of Konstanz Department of Computer & Information Science D-78457 Konstanz, Germany Tel: +49-7531-88-4449, Fax: +49-7531-88-3577 http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/~gruen

Passing java objects as XQuery parameters using XQJ
by Stefano Santoro 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

Hi, I am having trouble binding a java object to an XQuery external variable. Here is my simple java class: public class Provami { private int items; private String name; public Provami() { } public Provami(String name, int items) { this.items = items; this.name = name; } public String getName() { return this.name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public int getItems() { return this.items; } public void setItems( int items) { this.items = items; } } and here is my XQuery sample declare namespace provami = "java:Provami"; declare variable $bar as xs:anyAtomicType external; let $foo := provami:new() return element a { element i {provami:setName($foo, 'nome'), provami:getName($foo)}, element i {provami:getName($bar)} } I have tried two approaches with XQJ: 1) to create an atomic type groovy:000> otype = conn.createAtomicType(XQItemType.XQBASETYPE_ANYATOMICTYPE, new QName("java:Provami"),null) groovy:000> ixpr.bindObject(new QName("bar"), new Provami("passato", 4), otype) ERROR org.basex.api.xqj.BXQException: No mapping known for 'Provami'. at org.basex.api.xqj.BXQAbstract.create (BXQAbstract.java:128) at org.basex.api.xqj.BXQDynamicContext.bindObject (BXQDynamicContext.java:147) at groovysh_evaluate.run (groovysh_evaluate:13) ... 2) I have also tried to create an item groovy:000> itm = conn.createItemFromObject(new Provami('roba',4), null) ERROR org.basex.api.xqj.BXQException: No mapping known for 'Provami'. at org.basex.api.xqj.BXQAbstract.create (BXQAbstract.java:128) at org.basex.api.xqj.BXQDataFactory.createItemFromObject (BXQDataFactory.java:231) at org.basex.api.xqj.BXQDataFactory.createItemFromObject (BXQDataFactory.java:39) at groovysh_evaluate.run (groovysh_evaluate:13) ... Could you please advice on how I may successfully bind the parameter. Thanks Stefano

Dear Nigel, > 1. Where is the main body of BaseX documentation?

You have to start the BaseXServer in a console and then you can talk to it with your client. A service functionality which runs in the background of windows isnt available yet. > 3.

I would expect $cmd = > "1 to 10" to work ok but not $cmd = "xquery 1 to 10". Do all queries > to BaseX using the PHP API have to start with the string “xquery “, > followed by the xquery itself? You have to send the "xquery" keyword to the server for identify the correct command you want to execute. There are a lot of commands additional to "xquery" (see http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/commands) If you use the QueryIteratorExample you can just send the query itself, like 1 to 10, cause here you can only execute queries and no other commands. > 4. Where’s the documentation for the PHP API so I can find the answer > to the above question myself? There is a readme file (https://svn.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/trunk/api/etc/) and the code files it self are documented. > 5. Is there a web-based forum for BaseX? There is just this mailing-list, but your questions will be answered really fast. I hope this helps, dont hesitate to ask for more.

Newbie questions
by Nigel Alderton 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hi, I'm a BaseX newbie struggling with the basic "Hello world" type stuff and struggling to find documentation to answer my questions... 1. Where is the main body of BaseX documentation? 2. I can't see a service on my machine called "BaseX". What's doing the server-side work? I'm using Windows 7. 3. The PHP example does this... $cmd = "xquery 1 to 10" which it sends to the sever and gets a result. As far as I know that's not a normal valid xquery command yet it returns a result ok. I would expect $cmd = "1 to 10" to work ok but not $cmd = "xquery 1 to 10". Do all queries to BaseX using the PHP API have to start with the string "xquery ", followed by the xquery itself? 4. Where's the documentation for the PHP API so I can find the answer to the above question myself? 5. Is there a web-based forum for BaseX? Thanks Nigel
