Issue with expath HTTP request and response
by Seenivasan Gunabalan 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hi all, I want to share my experience with HTTP module while posting to restxq. Consider this example, -------- import module namespace http='http://expath.org/ns/http-client'; let $req := <http:request method="GET" href="http://localhost:8984/restxq/example" status-only = "false" username = "admin" password = "admin" send-authorization="true"> </http:request> let $resp := http:send-request($req) return $resp ---------- run the same query with status-only="false" and status-only="true". the first one(status-only="false") gives exception while the second one(status-only="true") returns proper response header. This is making difficult to handle the response of some requests which MAY contain body data. suppose we want to return the content of the document, if exists, as response body or a standard 410 status. The request should obviously contain status-only = "false". we also tried handling response with the one below, but the issue does exists. <rest:response> <http:response status="410" reason="Gone"> </http:response> </rest:response> I have tried with other http client like Firefox Poster plug-in and it is returning expected response. Is there anything wrong in the approach? Thanks, Seenivasan

HTML got changes after uploading into BaseX
by Seenivasan Gunabalan 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi All, Sorry for flooding the basex mailing list :( . We have this very simple HTML for some testing purposes. And we upload it through basexgui (HTML file type). <html> <body> <h1>Hello world!</h1> <ul> <li>service</li> <li>advancedassociationquery</li> <ul> <li>service2</li> <li>advancedassociationquery2</li> </ul> </li> </body> </html> but when serve it to the browser we get back the following html response where the list is flattened. <html> <body> <ul> <li>service</li> <li>advancedassociationquery</li> </ul> <ul> <li>service2</li> <li>advancedassociationquery2</li> </ul> </body> </html> After validating we've seen that, according to W3, the STRICT HTML compliant form is the following: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head><title>A title</title></head> <body> <ul> <li>service</li> <li>advancedassociationquery</li> <li> <ul> <li>service2</li> <li>advancedassociationquery2</li> </ul> </li> </body> </html> But even after uploading this STRICT HTML through basexgui we got back the flattened version. Our need is to just store and render the HTML with out any further processing. Also the HTML is generated using a tool. The thing is that the STRICT HTML file is served correctly when uploaded through the REST interface of BaseX (Firefox Poster with PUT method) whereas the incorrect file is served the wrong way(flattened) even if it uploaded through the REST interface. This sums up to an inconsistent behavior. Thanks and Regards, Marco & Seenivasan

Deploy BaseX 7.3 as a web application
by jSb_line＠gmx.de 30 Jul '12

30 Jul '12

Hi, we deployed BaseX 7.3 as web application in a tomcat7 cluster environment. The rest service is running fine in local mode, but we ve a security issue... We don't want that someone can modify the xml databases, so it must be readonly, but with no password protection. Is there a way to do this in local mode? Thanks in advance, jan

Hi, When running the basexhttp script on ubuntu I get the following error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/basex/BaseXHTTP I don't have a problem running the BaseX73.jar in gui mode.

XSD validation performance
by Seenivasan Gunabalan 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

Hi, I have encountered an performance issue while validating xml(5kb) against xsd's(12kb). It took nearly 30 seconds for the validation. As baseX is using java API's, we did the same validation using simple java. we noticed that the caching of schema object reduces the time significantly(from 30 seconds to 8 milli seconds.). Is there a place where we could configure to enable/diable caching of schema or it needs the code to be re-factored or is there a workaround? Thanks, Seenivasan

Does CREATing a DB OPEN it?
by Godmar Back 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

I'm still seeing this problem (Database 'PUB_feed_libx_dot_editions_at_gmail...' is currently opened by another client). I was able to connect via org.basex.BaseXClient to the database and saw, via 'SHOW SESSIONS', that the database in question was listed like so: > SHOW SESSIONS 3 session(s): - admin [127.0.0.1:35515]: ts_20120725_dot_213235_dot_723_feed_libx_dot_editions_at_gmail_dot_com_core - admin [127.0.0.1:37210] - admin [127.0.0.1:44610]: PUB_feed_libx_dot_editions_at_gmail_dot_com_core >From the code in Sessions.java/Context.java, I inferred that the db in question ('PUB_feed_libx_dot_editions_at_gmail_dot_com_core') was the 'current data reference' of session :44610. How can that be? As a reminder, I'm not using any 'OPEN' commands... So I've examined the logs when this db became the 'current' database of that session, and that, apparently, happened when it was created: 13:58:21.113 [127.0.0.1:44610]: ts_20120725_dot_135820_dot_723_feed_libx_dot_editions_at_gmail_dot_com_core CREATE DB PUB_feed_libx_dot_editions_at_gmail_dot_com_core [...] 13:58:21.164 [127.0.0.1:44610]: PUB_feed_libx_dot_editions_at_gmail_dot_com_core OK 50.95 ms Is this an undocumented side-effect of 'CREATE DB'? Is it necessary to follow every 'CREATE DB...' statement with a 'CLOSE' statement to avoid that the session in which the db was created keeps it open? It is not mentioned here: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands#CREATE_DB If true, I find this rather unusual - and certainly unexpected - it would be as if a 'CREATE DATABASE' statement in SQL automatically issued a 'USE'... command. - Godmar

Re: [basex-talk] xslt:transform, spaces and mixed content

>I already have that, along with the boundary-space option. >declare boundary-space preserve; >declare option db:chop 'no'; I have the same problem with RESTXQ I guess this is relevant https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/548 But I believe this problem has not always been there with RESTXQ. Using the API (via Node) without these declares I do not get the problem. Surely special declarations should not be required to, for example, get<spaces/>here for html o/p? /Andy
