Dear BaseX people,
I am a hopeless newbie when it comes to Linux. Seriously, my ignorance is astonishing. I am now running Linux Mint. It's a huge amount of fun but I'm left guessing about many simply things.
I am running the current BaseX 7.9. I am using it to provide a pipeline architecture calling lots of XSLT2, producing HTML and SVG. It works well for this.
To my RESTXQPATH I wish to append to - but not override (if possible) - a path.
By editing my .basex configuration I have managed to reset it, but not simply to append to it.
That is,
RESTXQPATH = /home/wendell/basex/webapp:/home/wendell/XQuery-project/restxq
With this, the server skips the basex/webapp directory. If I remove the second segment and restart, it goes live again.
What is the simplest way for me to set up my BaseX so that I can maintain my project xqm files (including a project's RestXQ), in the project, but keep BaseX otherwise (including its data directories) separate? Over the longer term I can see several such directories where I'd like BaseX to look.
On another operating system I used to start up using different shell scripts; is that the best way here (and if so does my shell script have to call Java or can I use the scripts in the basex/bin and pass in a value somehow)?
In general, what recommendations can you offer for no-fuss configuration of RestXQ for separate projects?
Thanks! Wendell
