Unexpected error. Improper use?
by France Baril 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi, I have code that used to work with 7.7.2, but that crashes with 7.8. I was able to create a simple piece of code that reproduces the error. I file:write the result before the db:replace. Notice how some elements have been re-ordered. To run the attached file: * Create an empty DB named 'tui-test' * Access: http://localhost:8984/tui/test-1 Details: Unexpected error: Improper use? Potential bug?

access basex through xmldb-api -- no connection -- Invalid URI error
by Ioannis Kavvouras 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hello, 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. 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.

Release Package
by Stefan Sechelmann 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hello, I’m trying to keep up to date with BaseX and test integrating the BaseX snapshot versions (at the moment 7.8 beta) into our environment. Here is my question: How do I build the structure that can be downloaded from the website containing all files and folders. Running e.g. mvn package yields only the API and core jar files. What am I missing?

adding too many documents is slowing down collection operations
by Fabrice Etanchaud 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Dear all, I'm working on a collection containing tens of millions of documents, updated weekly. My first guess to store these documents was to simply db:add/replace/remove them. This solution is slowing things down as the count of documents increases. For example, opening one collection takes up to 4 minutes. I believe that the document list is an in memory structure. Is there a way to speed things up, or do I have to change sides with the following guess, in order to reduce the 'physical' document list size : 1.group documents in 'logical' documents on insertion (fewer documents containing new or updated documents under a root xml element) 2. remove the old version of these documents in the previous 'logical' documents with xquery update. Has anybody already find that problem, and a workaround ? BaseX is just fantastic ! Best regards, Fabrice Etanchaud Questel/Orbit

Trying to use http:request to emulate curl -X PUT -T xxx.pdf
by Andy Bunce 12 Jan '14

12 Jan '14

Hi, I want to use the tika server [2] to extract text from pdfs. This working using curl as the client curl -X PUT -T aa.pdf http://localhost:9998/tika However I want to use the http module[1] I have tried: let $file:="C:\tmp\aa.pdf" let $request := <http:request method='PUT' > <http:body media-type="application/octet-stream">{ fetch:binary($file) }</http:body> </http:request> let $r:= http:send-request($request,$tika) I have tried this with various values for http:body/@method with no sucess. The content-length header from this does not match the one sent by curl. This did not work either (no body?): let $file:="C:\tmp\aa.pdf" let $request := <http:request method='PUT' > <http:body media-type="text/plain" src="{$file}"/> </http:request> let $r:= http:send-request($request,$tika) Any ideas? Regards /Andy [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/HTTP_Module [2] http://wiki.apache.org/tika/TikaJAXRS

Re: [basex-talk] A free-form XQuery through RESTXQ?
by Neven Jovanović 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

Arve, great! It was just what I needed. My function now looks like this: function page:cpxq-postman( $query as xs:string*) { let $q := xquery:eval($query, map{ '' := db:open('crobib') }) return element v { $q } }; And it works as expected. I also understand now how to call functions provided by various BaseX modules. The XPath solution will come in useful as well.
