Web application static files
by Murray, Gregory 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hello, I'm new to BaseX, and I'm setting up a simple web application (on Mac/Unix, using the ZIP distribution of BaseX). I'm unable to bring in static files like CSS. Following the documentation and the "dba" web application that comes with BaseX, I have included the following in the HTML: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="static/app.css"/> to point to a file that resides here: ~/basex/webapp/bookplates/static/app.css I have a module sitting here: ~/basex/webapp/bookplates/controller.xqm with a function with these annotations: %rest:path("bookplates") %output:method("html") When I point my browser to http://localhost:8984/bookplates/ the server successfully returns the HTML, but when the browser tries to load the CSS it requests http://localhost:8984/bookplates/static/app.css and the server responds with a 404 saying "No function found that matches the request" as if the server is looking for a RESTXQ function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Greg

KILL session
by George Sofianos 06 May '16

06 May '16

I'm trying to create an environment where I can have mutliple BaseX Servers, and I can run 2-3 complex queries on them at a time. However, I want to have the ability to stop a running XQuery script for any reason. I assumed that's what would happen if I KILL the session using a BaseX client. However when I try to KILL a session I have the following issues: 1) BaseX client freezes and I have to CTRL-C to stop it 2) The session I try to kill is removed from the list, but the process continues to run. I have to force kill -9 the basex server for it to stop. Should I report this as a bug or is there another way to kill the running scripts? Thanks

User and Password in REST URL
by Mike Cobo 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hi all When invokling an XQuery via REST, eg. http://mydomain.com:8984/rest?run=scripts/myscript.xq I'm prompted to type in the user and password for authentication. This is ok when a script needs user authentication to connect to a database. But when the script only uses the XQuery processor to output a (generated) HTML page it would be easier if the user authentication could by included in the URL, eg http://mydomain.com:8984/rest?run=scripts/myscript.xq&user=tester&password=… Is there a way to bypass the authentication dialog this way? I tried with the parameters "user" and "password" as shown in the example above, but this dosn't work. ThnxMike

Dear Mansi, you could try to run the INSPECT command on the affected database, or all databases, in order to find out if your database has gone corrupt. Did you repeatedly come across this error?

Strange restxq path error "assigned to several functions"
by Maximilian Gärber 02 May '16

02 May '16

Hi, suddenly, I get a path error [1] for functions that worked just minutes ago. When renaming the functions again it sometimes resolves the issue. I have CACHERESTXQ = false But this "feels" just like a caching issue. Appeared while on 8.4.1, but same on 8.4.3 Any ideas? [1] Problem accessing /test/import-convert/19.2.xlsx. Reason: Stopped at /webapp/test/api/import.xqm, 55/10: [bxerr:BASX0003] Path "/test/import-convert/{$file}" assigned to several functions: /webapp/test/api/import.xqm, 55/10 /webapp/test/api/import.xqm, 55/10

xquery:eval - static context?
by Hans-Juergen Rennau 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

Dear BaseX team, a question concerning the static context used by xquery:eval. It seems to me that the static context is not inherited from the location of the evaluating call. Therefore arises the question how to call user-defined functions within code evaluated by xquery:eval. Please consider this example: Attempt #1:=========================================================== declare namespace f="http://www.foxpath.org/xquery-functions"; declare function f:num2($number) {2 * $number}; let $inlineFunctionText := "function($number) {f:num2($number)}" let $f := xquery:eval($inlineFunctionText) return $f(1) =========================================================== Executing this, an error is raised: [XPST0081] No namespace declared for 'f:num2'. Adding a namespace declaration does not help: Attempt #2:=========================================================== declare namespace f="http://www.foxpath.org/xquery-functions"; declare function f:num2($number) {2 * $number}; let $inlineFunctionText := "declare namespace f='http://www.foxpath.org/xquery-functions'; function($number) {f:num2($number)}" let $f := xquery:eval($inlineFunctionText) return $f(1) =========================================================== Now I get this error: [XPST0017] Unknown function: Q{http://www.foxpath.org/xquery-functions}num2. The only (?) way out is pass in the function a parameter: Attempt #3:=========================================================== declare namespace f="http://www.foxpath.org/xquery-functions"; declare function f:num2($number) {2 * $number}; let $inlineFunctionText := "declare namespace f='http://www.foxpath.org/xquery-functions'; declare variable $num2 external; function($number) {$num2($number)}" let $context := map{'num2': f:num2#1} let $f := xquery:eval($inlineFunctionText, $context) return $f(1) ===========================================================Result: 2Ok! Fortunately, the passed in function does inherit its own static context (as it should, per spec), so that it may call other functions themselves not known to the inline function expression: Attempt #4:=========================================================== declare namespace f="http://www.foxpath.org/xquery-functions"; declare function f:num2($number) {2 * $number + f:num3($number)}; declare function f:num3($number) {3 * $number}; let $inlineFunctionText := "declare namespace f='http://www.foxpath.org/xquery-functions'; declare variable $num2 external; function($number) {$num2($number)}" let $context := map{'num2': f:num2#1} let $f := xquery:eval($inlineFunctionText, $context) return $f(1) ===========================================================Result: 5Okissimo! So my question is whether it is by design or by bug that xquery:eval "forgets" the static context in place where the invocation of xquery:eval occurs. And I emphasize the great practical relevance of the question as it impacts the possibility of using within the evaluated expression user-defined functions. Cheers,Hans-Jürgen

Any ideas? Thx.Mike

Non-updating Expressions: copy/modify/return. Multiple for-clauses inside modify
by Günter Dunz-Wolff 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

Hi all, hi Christian, for my queries I have to modify some legacy xml-documents. The copy/modify/return-expression works fine with one for-clause. But I have to modify different elements. I can't figure out, how to chain the for-clauses. Working Example: copy $doc := $document modify ( let $first_elements := $doc//element-name for $element in $first_elements let $target := $element/@target let $htm_anchor := substring-after($target, '#') return replace value of node $element/@target with 'xyz' || $htm_anchor ) return $doc This is working for one for-clause. But I have to do a lot more with different elements for example: let $second_element := $doc//element-name-second for $ele in $second_elements let $... return ... The returning document should contain all modifications. How can I chain the for-clauses inside modify? Thanks for a hint in advance. Günter

Loading XML file as an InputStream in BaseX

28 Apr '16

Hi, I was going through the sample file given at [1]. Here, the XML file is taken from a file. Is there any way of giving the XML as a stream instead? The requirement is to use XPath expressions on an XML payload that comes with an HTTP request (the payload will be available to consume, as an InputStream) to check whether the payload contains some given text/data. I also had a look at [2]. Is this approach valid only for common types like integer, string etc?
