(How to) build application with BaseX
by Christian Grün 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

Hi Andreas, hi everyone, > Since XQDT works under Eclipse 3.7 and offers parentheses matching [...] that's an important point of course. I would generally interested what tools you (all) prefer to develop applications with BaseX, XQuery and XML. As you may know, the embedded BaseX editor can be used to process XQuery, XML and any other types of text documents. It know various powerful hotkeys [1] that are not documented in the GUI. It provides direct feedback on parsing errors in the edited and imported modules. The latest snapshot [2] also parses XML documents and command scripts and, since this weekend, offers a much more powerful facility for incrementally searching and replacing strings (incl. support for regular expressions). Enough of the self-adulation… We're well aware that it would be a waste of time if we seriously tried to cope with existing text editors and IDEs, such as.. • Eclipse w/XQDT • oXygen • vim, Emacs, etc. ..so we’d like to know what are your favorite editors for writing XQuery expressions and applications, and what convinces, or deters you, mostly from using the built-in editor or the alternatives? Thanks in advance for your opinion, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Shortcuts#Editor_Shortcuts [2] http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/

Two basic questions
by Garey Mills 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

I am contemplating using BaseX from a web application using the Java API. I plan to use it, among other things, to store some information on the users of the site. Someone coming in to the application would be asked to identify themselves, probably with an email address. Based on the address, I would find a record stored in BaseX and possibly edit the record. So my question is: would it be better to have a collection of small XML documents, one to each user; or does BaseX provide the concurrent access control to allow me to have one document with any number of user records? Second question: I seen in the Java API examples how to create a new database, but I don't see an easy way to check if a database exists. Does that mean, then, that I should create the databases beforehand and then assume they exist inside my application? My apologies in advance, since I am sure these question have been asked before. The list archive search function on the BaseX site is not working. -- Garey Mills Library Systems Office UC Berkeley

Regular Expression 'P{Ll}' raises error [FORX0004] Regular expression: 'Lexical error at line 1, column 3. Encountered: "L" (76), after : "{"'.
by Alex Muir 25 Sep '12

Hi, I find that a regualr expression below let $regex := 'P{Ll}' let $input := .//subsection[matches(@title,$regex)] causes the error [FORX0004] Regular expression: 'Lexical error at line 1, column 3. Encountered: "L" (76), after : "{"'. I use P{Ll} in xslt/xpath in saxon without issue and I'm running basex with saxon so I assume this is something basex is parsing out as an error condition I looked in the xquery spec for the error and found which seems to be something else An error is raised [err:FORX0004<http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-30/#ERRFORX0004>] if the value of $replacement contains a "$" character that is not immediately followed by a digit 0-9 and not immediately preceded by a "\". Let me know your thoughts Regards -- - Alex G. Muir Software Engineering Consultant Linkedin Profile : http://ca.linkedin.com/pub/alex-muir/36/ab7/125 Love African Kora Music?

Configuration for locking files with Oxygen/webDAV
by France Baril 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi, we are trying to move from a single author environment to a multiple authors environment. The team doing the configuration is having some issues. Here is their question… can you provide some guidance? --- What is the proper BaseX configuration to allow multiple users to concurrently update a database from Oxygen? Environment: - BaseX latest (August build) - Windows 7 server and clients - basexhttp.bat starting db as admin, admin - Users A and B with "write" permissions - Users open webdav folder in Oxygen 14 using unique usernames and passwords - Oxygen is configured to "Lock WebDAV files on open" Issues - Webdav in Oxygen project does not prevent users from changing files that are currently open by other users, nor does Oxygen indicates when other users have opened or changed files. Users need to close and re-open files to see changes made by other others, with no way of preventing other users from overwriting their changes. Questions 1. According to http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Startup#BaseX_Server the basexserver script should also start the http server, but according to the log is does not. Do we need to run both basexserver and basexhttp? Is there any difference between starting Server from basexhttp and starting Server from basexserver? It appears that basexhttp starts both the http and BaseX servers, which is the opposite behavior described by the documentation. 2. Should file locking work in Oxygen using WebDAV? Everything works fine with one user working with localhost, as described at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Integrating_oXygen#Access_Database_Resources, but we are unable to find a configuration that supports file locking with multiple users accessing a remote server over webdav. Would an example configuration be available? -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com (514) 572-0341
