6.5 - org.basex.server : basex never returns
by Fabrice Etanchaud 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Dear all, I get a very strange behaviour in client/server mode with the java binding (ckecked out from the repository). I wrote a little piece of code that never returns from the last command 'DROP DATABASE xxx' It ends up normally if you comment the query or if you change it to an iterative query. Please find the code below : Best regards import org.basex.server.*; import java.io.*; public class Test { public static final void main(String[] args) { try { ClientSession session = new ClientSession("localhost", 1984, "admin", "admin"); session.create("mydb", new ByteArrayInputStream("<Root1/>".getBytes("UTF-8"))); session.execute("OPEN mydb"); session.add("mydoc.xml", "/mypath", new ByteArrayInputStream("<Root2/>".getBytes("UTF-8"))); session.execute("DELETE /mypath/mydoc.xml"); String req = "for $i in collection() return base-uri($i)"; Query q = session.query(req); System.out.println(q.execute()); System.out.println(q.info()); q.close(); session.execute("CLOSE"); session.close(); session = new ClientSession("localhost", 1984, "admin", "admin"); session.execute("DROP DATABASE mydb"); session.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Fabrice Etanchaud Senior Software Engineer CT Corsearch / Edital, a Wolters Kluwer business Berkenlaan 1 1831 Diegem Belgium <skype:fabrice.etanchaud?call> skype:fabrice.etanchaud Get Skype <http://www.skype.com/go/download> and call me for free. fetanchaud(a)edital.com <mailto:fetanchaud@edital.com> <http://www.edital.com/> www.edital.com (website) <http://www.ctcorsearch.com/> www.ctcorsearch.com (website) Confidentiality Notice: This email and its attachments (if any) contain confidential information of the sender.

fulltext score value
by KUSTER, Juan Pablo 24 Jan '11

Hello community, I have a question about score results. I create a DB with one XML document using TF/IDF text node strategy and when make query on it always obtain the same score for all results equal one. the query is: declare option output:omit-xml-declaration "no"; declare variable $w1 as xs:string external := 'roma'; declare variable $w2 as xs:string external := ''; <results> { for $hit score $score in /kdo/idf/idf/idf/idf/idf[text() contains text {$w1} all words using wildcards ] let $cap := $hit/idf[@ctx="20.1"]/text() let $continente := $hit/ancestor-or-self::idf[@ctx="20.9"]/text() order by $score descending return <result score="{$score}"> <continente>{$continente}</continente> <paese>{$hit/../../../text()}</paese> <regione>{$hit/../../text()}</regione> <provincia>{$hit/../text()}</provincia> <cap>{$cap}</cap> <nome>{$hit/text()}</nome> </result> } </results> executed through RESTFULL with the URL http://localhost:8984/basex/jax-rx/comuni?wrap=no&run=fulltext_wildcard… and follow the query results: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><results count="6"> <result score="1"> <continente>EUROPA</continente> <paese>ITALIA</paese> <regione>LAZIO</regione> <provincia>FROSINONE</provincia> <cap>03020</cap> <nome>GIULIANO DI ROMA</nome> </result> <result score="1"> <continente>EUROPA</continente> <paese>ITALIA</paese> <regione>LAZIO</regione> <provincia>VITERBO</provincia> <cap>01034</cap> <nome>FABRICA DI ROMA</nome> </result> <result score="1"> <continente>EUROPA</continente> <paese>ITALIA</paese> <regione>LAZIO</regione> <provincia>ROMA</provincia> <cap>00063</cap> <nome>CAMPAGNANO DI ROMA</nome> </result> <result score="1"> <continente>EUROPA</continente> <paese>ITALIA</paese> <regione>LAZIO</regione> <provincia>ROMA</provincia> <cap>00020</cap> <nome>CERVARA DI ROMA</nome> </result> <result score="1"> <continente>EUROPA</continente> <paese>ITALIA</paese> <regione>LAZIO</regione> <provincia>ROMA</provincia> <cap>00045</cap> <nome>GENZANO DI ROMA</nome> </result> <result score="1"> <continente>EUROPA</continente> <paese>ITALIA</paese> <regione>LAZIO</regione> <provincia>ROMA</provincia> <cap>001xx</cap> <nome>ROMA</nome> </result> </results>for each result node you can see the score node with the same value for deferents <nome> nodes strings.Sorry for my English, and thanks for any comment.

Exactly; more than one -b parameter can be specified.

external variables
by Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

I'm trying to pass a parameter to an xquery file whose first line reads: define variable $db as xs:string external How may I invoke the BaseX client so that the param will be passed to the query? Just saw in the 6.5 change log "[ADD] JAX-RX: bind external variables to query and run parameter". Does that mean that passing param is currently only available in the JAX-RX interface? Maybe you can parse the command line client invocation such that everything after the options and after a xquery file name is considered as param=value pairs? -Gerrit

Resolver/catalog: can't make it work
by Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Dear Team (especially Michael), I'm trying to use an XML catalog during import (for the first time admittedly), but the catalog is obviously not being used. I tried to specify a full path in the GUI: c:/cygwin/home/gerrit/Apotheker/BaseX/catalog/catalog-win.xml I also tried to specify SET CATFILE on the command line, when the server was running and the GUI was off: basexclient -Uadmin -Padmin -c "SET CATFILE catalog/catalog-win.xml; set createfilter *.html; create database amt2; open amt2; add Apotheker/AMT" Took ages (never finished), which made me think that the resolver wasn't used. Switched off network connection. Received: Error: www.w3.org Since I was trying to import XHTML files, this is an indication that the catalog hasn't been used. Changed the CATFILE path to Apotheker/BaseX/catalog/catalog-win.xml (because the documents to be imported were apparently considered relative to my home dir or the current dir), to no avail. Also c:/cygwin/home/gerrit/Apotheker/BaseX/catalog/catalog-win.xml didn't work. Here's the server output: $ basexserver -di BaseX 6.5 [Server] Try "help" to get more information. > Creating Database... 62.02 ms (501 KB) Indexing Text... . 63.36 ms (588 KB) Indexing Attributes... . 66.02 ms (621 KB) Creating Database... java.io.IOException: www.w3.org java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(Unknown Source) ... Created a CatalogManager.properties in the CLASSPATH before starting the server. But it kept trying to connect to www.w3.org. Current catalog file looks like that: <?xml version="1.0"?> <catalog prefer="system" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"> <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/" rewritePrefix="file:///c:/cygwin/home/gerrit/Apotheker/schema/xhtml1/" /> </catalog> First HTML file that it is trying to import begins with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/> There is a file xhtml1-strict.dtd in the local directory. Altering the catalog file so that it's not well-formed any more doesn't seem to impress the parser. So I think it is not being read, but without a warning. What did I do wrong? If we manage to solve this, you may want to insert an XML Catalog Howto into the documentation wiki.

Invalid arguments...
by Mark Boon 23 Jan '11

23 Jan '11

Just now I spent considerable time figuring out why I get a message like this: [FORG0006] Invalid arguments for com.avatar_reality.ai.OntologyManager.save(...) method. In case you're wondering, it doesn't have anything to do with invalid arguments. It prints this whenever anything is wrong. Anything. It could be the wrong arguments. Or the wrong method name. Or the wrong class-name. Or even better, nothing like that at all, just any uncaught exception thrown by the method (or the class-loader) will cause it to print this error. May kindly I suggest embedding the original cause in the error message? That would save a ton of time figuring out what exactly is the matter. Mark

BaseX 6.5
by Raymond Meester 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

I like 6.5 with the new tree visualization and commercial support. It's stabile and fast. Here is some feedback/feature requests for future development of BaseX: 1) Double click on the blue bar to get a full view (All other views are send to the background. When double clicking the other views appear again) 2) Put a close button on the blue bar 3) Folder view; add entry in the right-click menu to collapse in or out all nodes 4) Add support for intelligent xpath autocompletion in the search bar 5) Possibility in the right click menu to duplicate a node 6) Possibility to place a node in comment /uncomment 7) In text mode highlight a node when the cursor is standing on an opening or ending tag, so that the corresponding pair will be remark 8) Make "Enter" equal to double clicking when navigation in a xml 9) Option to show line numbers in text mode 10) Launch a xml in a browser, xml editor or IDE from the menu In the long run it would be nice to add 1) A XML Grid View (like xmlSpy or Stylus Studio) 2) XSD support for validating and generating schemas 3) XSLT support for transforming a xml db into another xml db and alternative query posibillities 4) Visualizing differences between two databases 5) Export xml to text, csv, xls, json etc 6) XQuery Documentation Generator (XQDoc Support) 7) Use colors to show structure of an xml in the visualization views (this option can be turned on and off) 8) Support for forms (Create forms as a front end for basex and distribute this together with the xml db as a jar file) 9) XML editing mode and read only mode (xacml) 10) Focus on support for adding thousands of xml files into one db Thanks, I will look forward to future releases Ray

Re: [basex-talk] Query corrupts my database - we shall be happy namespaces are there

2011/1/21 Mark Boon <mboon(a)blueplanetsoftware.com> > ...It looks like I got it working using *:Ontology. I must say I never > understood why namespaces must make things so complicated and > counterintuitive. > Hi Mark. Namespaces are a mean, which let you live in quite complex universe, where more spaces are intersecting. You may think of writting XQuery for $x from my_universe return the-thing-I-am-thinking-of($x) (Un)Fortunately, this function was not implemented yet :-) (Are you really sure, what would your thoughts return to you?) But back to intersecting space - if you think of it, you realize, it is very easy to pick up something wrong, or to miss something. And we shall be happy, that in our XML space those separate spaces have names, so we can be enough explicit in telling what we really want. OK, apart from philosophical thoughts, I have simple rules, which helped me using namespaces 1. prefixes are just temporary abbreviations for real namespaces (fully qualified) and the prefixes can change during single XML document 2. imagine, that all prefixes (including the empty one) are replaced by fully qualified namespace name (and you may get rid of xmlns: attribues as they become useless) So for <Traffic xmlns="myone" xmlns:openlr="http://www.openlr.org/openlr" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <openlr:OpenLR> <openlr:LocationID>defg123</openlr:LocationID> ...... </openlr:OpenLR> <OpenLR xmlns="http://www.openlr.org/openlr"> <LocationID>defg123</LocationID> </OpenLR> </Traffic> you get <myone:Traffic> <http://www.openlr.org/openlr:OpenLR> <http://www.openlr.org/openlr:LocationID>defg123</ http://www.openlr.org/openlr:LocationID> ...... </http://www.openlr.org/openlr:OpenLR> <http://www.openlr.org/openlr:OpenLR> <http://www.openlr.org/openlr:LocationID>defg123</ http://www.openlr.org/openlr:LocationID> </http://www.openlr.org/openlr:OpenLR> </myone:Traffic> This way it is perfectly clear, what namespaces are effective. I agree, namespaces are not easy to start with, but my feeling is, the complexity of namespace apparatus is balanced with complexity of the problem it should resolve. And once you get it - it will be clear and easy. Wish you the best. Jan

XQuery Globaler Zähler
by Burkert, Michael 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hallo ! Will man allen XML-Elementen eine eindeutige Zahl zuordnen, würde man das über einen globalen Zähler lösen. Die globalen Variablen in XQuery lassen sich offenbar nicht hochzählen. Hat XBase eine Lösung für dieses Problem ? Eine Art eigenen Namespace mit eigener Funktionalität ? Es wird zwar eine Funktion angeboten die ähnliches leistet functx:index-of-node( ... ) Nur bremst diese die Bearbeitung beträchtlich. Viele Grüße Michael
