Re: [basex-talk] best approach to add dtd file into baseX

Hi Yvonne,

The canonical solution is to store and retrieve your file as binary file [1]. Instead of fn:doc, you can use db:retrieve to access this resource [1].

Hope this helps, Christian

Hi,

I have sample dtd file such as below, I want to add the dtd file as is in baseX.

Since the dtd file is not in xml format, there are currently two option I can thought about

1.   Use TEXT as input format
   
   
   
   

When I add it using baseX client UI, I got following output. Since we just need store the dtd file and later get it back as is. So I can not use doc function to retrieve it back as is.

<text>

<line>&lt;dtd&gt;</line>

<line>&lt;!--</line>

<line>&lt;?xml encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;</line>

<line/>

<line> &lt;tmpComment&gt;Sample rng file comments&lt;/tmpComment&gt;</line>

<line/>

<line>&lt;!ELEMENT first (#PCDATA)&gt;</line>

<line/>

<line>&lt;!ELEMENT last (#PCDATA)&gt;</line>

<line/>

<line>&lt;!ELEMENT user (first,last)&gt;</line>

<line>&lt;!ATTLIST user</line>

<line> xmlns:xsi CDATA #FIXED 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'</line>

<line> xsi:schemaLocation CDATA #FIXED 'http://ariba.com.com/Core_after_xsd.xsd%27%3E;</line>

<line>--&gt;</line>

2.   Format it to xml  using <dtd> <!—original data -->  </dtd> when
   

add, and remove those dtd and comment tag when download using doc() function.

And there is extra handling required for nested xml comment.

Is there any other better approach for adding dtd file which can be retrieved as its original content?

Thanks

Yvonne
