Update operation is spawning new databases with underscore
by Zimmel, Daniel 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

Hi, sometimes in my update operations BaseX deliberately is spawning several databases like the following, with a name of the database plus underscore and number: DBNAME_2618234251 caused by db:replace($dbname, $dbpath|| '/' || $fname, $file-to-import, map { 'intparse': true(), 'chop': false(), 'addcache': false() }) I cannot find anything about this behavior in the docs. It seems to happen randomly, and the main database does seem ok. How can I avoid these extra databases? They will vanish only by force. BaseX 9.2.1 Thanks, Daniel

Bug in 9.2.3??
by Buddy Kresge 17 Jul '19

17 Jul '19

The below code works fine in 9.2.2 (and any version before), but when we execute the below in 9.2.3 we get the following error. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Cannot convert element() to xs:string?: $status := <EmploymentStatusCode>Active</Employment.... declare function local:employmentStatus($employee as element()?) as xs:string? { $employee/*:Employment/*:EmploymentStatus/*:EmploymentStatusCode }; declare function local:isActive($employee as element()?) as xs:boolean { let $status := local:employmentStatus($employee) return if (string-length($status) > 0) then contains($status, 'Active') else false() }; let $ee := <Subscriber><Employment><EmploymentStatus><EmploymentStatusCode>Active</EmploymentStatusCode></EmploymentStatus></Employment></Subscriber> return local:isActive($ee)

Query filter by attributes with Colons
by Jordan Castillo 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

Hello BaseX Staff, I am noticing that my queries aren't working when I check the value of an attribute who has a colon in the name field. Here is an example: 1: Yields no results let $begin := db:open($documentName) return $begin//packagedElement[@name="auxiliaryResource" and @xmi:id="_12_1_8f90291_1173963323875_662612_98"] 2: Yields no results return $begin//packagedElement[@xmi:id="_12_1_8f90291_1173963323875_662612_98"] 3: Yields expected result: return $begin//packagedElement[@name="auxiliaryResource"] Example of element I am searching for here: <packagedElement xsi:type="uml:Stereotype" xmi:id="_12_1_8f90291_1173963323875_662612_98" ID="_12_1_8f90291_1173963323875_662612_98" name="auxiliaryResource"> This particular element has an "ID" attribute but most do not so checking that attribute is not an option. Any hints or tips as to how I can make this work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jordan Castillo

Enforce index with dynamic values
by Beck, Julia 12 Jul '19

12 Jul '19

Hello BaseX team, I am struggeling with the enforce index pragma and get a "Improper use? Potential bug? Your feedback is welcome". So here is my feedback/question: I have XML data describing books in several databases that also contain (potentially outdated) control numbers for authority data and I have an XML doc with a list of old numbers and their replacement (== new number). So I want to go through this list and replace the old numbers in my data with the new numbers. My XQuery works for each database on its own, but as soon as I provide a list of databases, I get a NullPointerException. The xml doc with the authority numbers looks like this: <gnds> <gnd> <old>gnd_4452199-6</old>; <new>gnd_2163369-1</new>; </gnd> <gnd> <old>gnd_16288049-2</old>; <old>gnd_4683522-2</old>; <new>gnd_1901229-9</new>; </gnd> .... </gnds> The data in the databases looks like this: <rdf:RDF> <edm:ProvidedCHO @rdf:about="..."> <edm:wasPresentAt @rdf:resource="gnd_4452199-6"/> <dc:contributor @rdf:resource="gnd_4683522-2"/> ... </edm:ProvidedCHO> ... </rdf:RDF> In the XQuery, I left out the replacement part (which I thought to be the problem first, but the script already throws the error when I just want to have the new numbers printed). It works when I run it for "tmd" and "tes" individually. When I leave out the pragma it takes really long time (obviously not using the index). I more or less followed the 3rd example in http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Indexes#Enforce_Rewritings let $old_gnds := doc("oldIds.xml")/gnds/gnd, $all_db := ("tmd","tes") for $gnd in $old_gnds/old/text() let $new := $gnd/../../new/text() for $db in $all_db for $attr in db:open($db)/rdf:RDF/*/*/@rdf:resource where (# db:enforceindex #) {$attr = $gnd} return $new Best wishes, Julia -- JULIA BECK Elektronische Dienste / FIDDK Universitätsbibliothek Johann Christian Senckenberg Bockenheimer Landstraße 134-138 60325 Frankfurt am Main 069 798 39387

Connecting the BaseX AppChecker to Visual Studio
by Matt Stam 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Hello, I've been trying to set up and use the "AppChecker" that we are going to need to run our X++ code through. Does anyone have any knowledge on how to run this? I've followed everything laid out on their github: https://github.com/microsoft/Dynamics365FO-AppChecker. BaseX and the environmental variables are installed. But I am unsure about how to actually use it to check my code on VS. Any help would be appreciated. Best, Matt

Time complexity
by Jordan Castillo 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Hello BaseX Staff, Question regarding why the time complexity of my query is dramatically different in these 2 situations. I'm building a map inside a function that is called many times, and this function receives an ID and then has to retrieve some values to store inside the map. In case #1, I check if the values exists first, otherwise I store '()': "lowerValue" : if (exists($context//packagedElement[@xmi:id=$currID]/ownedAttribute[@xmi:id=$propList[2 + $mult]]/lowerValue[@value])) then data($context//packagedElement[@xmi:id=$currID]/ownedAttribute[@xmi:id=$propList[2 + $mult]]/lowerValue/[@value]) else (), "upperValue" : if (exists($context//packagedElement[@xmi:id=$currID]/ownedAttribute[@xmi:id=$propList[2 + $mult]]/upperValue[@value])) then data($context//packagedElement[@xmi:id=$currID]/ownedAttribute[@xmi:id=$propList[2 + $mult]]/upperValue/[@value]) else () Total Time: 1526.0 In case #2:

problem: accessing inner java class methods with bases java bindings
by Florian Eckey 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Hi, I use basex java bindings in my project. It works fine but when I try to access inner java classes i cant find a way to get it work. I will use the SimpleJavaMail libs and there is a class called “MailerRegularBuilder” which is an inner class of “MailerBuilder”, especially with the method “buildMailer()”. Here is a sample snippet of the based java class source code: public class MailerBuilder { ... private MailerBuilder() { } public static class MailerRegularBuilder extends MailerGenericBuilder<MailerRegularBuilder> { ... public Mailer buildMailer() { return new Mailer(this); } ... } } In java I can easily access this method in the inner class with the following code (in red): MailerRegularBuilder mailRegularBuilder = MailerBuilder.withSMTPServer("smtp.gmail.com", 465, "username1", "password1"); mailRegularBuilder = mailRegularBuilder.withProperty("mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true"); mailRegularBuilder = mailRegularBuilder.withProperty("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory"); Mailer inhouseMailer = mailRegularBuilder.buildMailer(); inhouseMailer.sendMail(email); That works fine (remember it is only a snipped). With XQuery I always get a class not found exception or a unknown method exception with the following code: declare namespace Email = "java:org.simplejavamail.email.Email"; declare namespace EmailBuilder = "java:org.simplejavamail.email.EmailBuilder"; declare namespace Mailer = "java:org.simplejavamail.mailer.Mailer"; declare namespace MailerBuilder = "java:org.simplejavamail.mailer.MailerBuilder"; declare namespace EmailPopulatingBuilder = "java:org.simplejavamail.email.EmailPopulatingBuilder"; declare namespace MailerRegularBuilder = "java:org.simplejavamail.mailer.MailerBuilder.MailerRegularBuilder"; declare namespace MailerGenericBuilder = "java:org.simplejavamail.mailer.MailerGenericBuilder"; declare variable $local:fromName := "Florian Eckey"; declare variable $local:fromEmailAdress := "a.b(a)gmail.com"; declare variable $local:username := "username1" declare variable $local:password := "password1"; declare variable $local:smtpServer := "smtp.gmail.com"; declare variable $local:smtpPort := 465; declare function local:sendMail($toName, $toEmailAdress, $subject, $plainText, $attachementName, $attachement, $attachementType) { let $emailPopulatingBuilder := EmailBuilder:starting-blank() let $emailPopulatingBuilder := EmailPopulatingBuilder:from($emailPopulatingBuilder,$local:fromName, $local:fromEmailAdress) let $emailPopulatingBuilder := EmailPopulatingBuilder:to($emailPopulatingBuilder,$toName, $toEmailAdress) let $emailPopulatingBuilder := EmailPopulatingBuilder:withSubject($emailPopulatingBuilder,$subject) let $emailPopulatingBuilder := if($attachement) then EmailPopulatingBuilder:withAttachment($attachementName, $attachement, $attachementType) else $emailPopulatingBuilder let $emailPopulatingBuilder := EmailPopulatingBuilder:withPlainText($emailPopulatingBuilder,$plainText) let $email := EmailPopulatingBuilder:buildEmail($emailPopulatingBuilder) let $mailerRegularBuilder := MailerBuilder:withSMTPServer($local:smtpServer, xs:int($local:smtpPort), $local:username, $local:password) let $mailerRegularBuilder := MailerGenericBuilder:withProperty($mailerRegularBuilder,"mail.smtp.starttls.enable", "true") let $mailerRegularBuilder := MailerGenericBuilder:withProperty($mailerRegularBuilder,"mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory") let $mailer := MailerRegularBuilder:buildMailer($mailerRegularBuilder) return (Mailer:sendMail($mailer,$email),"email send") }; The red line will always throw the error: [XPST0017] Unknown class: org.simplejavamail.mailer.MailerBuilder.MailerRegularBuilder. Beside: I copied all the used java libs into the lib folder of my basex instance. All other classes were found. Does anyone have an idea how to access this inner class methods? Or is it not possible and I have to implement a custom java lib which masks the code in one static method? Best regards, Florian PS: Sorry for the unhighlighted code, but it was just copied from the basex gui.

Export XML from Basexgui no longer allow for options
by France Baril 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Hi, It used to be that we could specify options when exporting content using basexgui. As the tool no longer allows for this, I'm looking for a way to protect our content integrity. I tried adding indent= false and chop=false to the .basexgui file, but it doesn't seem to help. The issue we have is with mixed content, when a block with only inline elements gets indented, it adds space at the beginning and the end of paragraphs. Ex. In <title><span>fdjjflsdjflkd</span></title>, adding spaces before and after the span is an issue. It doesn't matter much when transforming to HTML, but it does other formats and differences in the spacing of any mixed content is a change significant enough to trigger retranslation of our content to other languages. I'll try writing an .xq to export content, but I thought I should mention that the current export doesn't protect content integrity. -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com
