BaseX - questions about few issues
by radim-havlicek＠post.cz 06 Jun '17

Hello, we would like to build our database application on BaseX in our company. However, we would need to solve following issues we encountered with. 1) BaseX GUI is automatically opened with administration permissions without any login request. Can it be fixed? 2) Once user is created in a database, he or she has the same rights in all databases. Can it be fixed so the user has particular permisssion per database? 3) Or better, would it be posssible to set user permission per collection (like in Sedna or MonoDB)? 4) I can see the users are stored in users.xml file, including with their permission and hashed password. It is a security issue for us because the digest hash can be decrypted in few seconds. Is it possible to obscure that sensitive information, or to not store it in the file? 5) All queries are stored in logs. Queries for user creation or password change are stored in plain text there. Is there a way to obscure that sensitive information? 6) It only is possible to create BaseX users. Is Active Directory account support in road-map, especially support for AD groups? It would be much appreciated. 7) BaseX supports http protocol. Is it possible to make it work with https protocol as well? If there is an answer "no" on some of those questions above, is correction of those issuees in road-map? Thank you for your answers in advance. Best regards, Radim Havlicek Test Engineer III Honeywell International s.r.o.

Create Options are deleted from .basex config file

Options manually added to the .basex config file are deleted by BaseX. For example, these Create Options all get deleted from the .basex file after running a standalone basex script: ADDARCHIVES = true CREATEFILTER = *.anx STRIPNS = true INTPARSE = true LANGUAGE = Dutch (also tried 'nl') Basex 8.5.3 on Linux Regards, Marc

Combining modules into a single file
by George Sofianos 02 Jun '17

Hi, and thanks for your awesome engine again! I wonder if there is an easy and complete way of combining xquery files into a single file. To give an example, I have about 16-17 xquery files, some are only 50-100 lines but some can be up to 1500 lines. Because of multiple reasons, (legacy web application behaviour that makes it hard to deploy updates, network file system that doesn't always work), it is preferable to have one single file to execute on the XQuery engine. I know it can be done with ant for example, but it's not very easy to cover all cases, so maybe someone has a better idea :) I don't mind implementing something in a different language, as long as I know it will be doable. Thanks, George

restxq output cdata-section-elements

Hi, when setting %output:cdata-section-elements("KSP DESCRIPTION") on a restxq request, I get <DESCRIPTION><![CDATA[ ]]><p>Zur Aktivierung des...</p><![CDATA[ ]]><ul> <li>außerordentlich hoher Biotingehalt (3 Millionen µg pro kg)</li> <li>gut bioverfügbares Zinksulfat</li> <li>ausgewogenes Biotin-Zink-Verhältnis</li> </ul><![CDATA[ ]]><p> I would expect everything inside the DESCRIPTION element to be part of CDATA. But CDATA ends before the first child element This happens with Basex 8.5.2 Br, Max
