[basex-talk] XQuery update: updating inside a closure & how to modify a node and insert it in a DB

21 Nov 2012

      Hi folks,

I'm trying to implement a secure RESTXQ service like this:

declare %rest:path("api/users/init")
        %restxq:PUT("{$data}")
        %output:method("text")
        function page:init-user($data) {

    sec:secure(function() {            
        let $profile := json:parse-ml(convert:binary-to-string($data))
        return
            (
                insert node attribute id { sec:get-current-user-id() } into $profile,
                insert node $profile as last into db:open("db")/s:root
            )
    })
};

And I have two problems:

- when executing it like this, inside of a closure, nothing happens. No modifications of the database and no errors (%updating missing) either - which is weird. Is this construct supported in 7.5?

 - when I remove the sec:secure call and leave only the rest (adding %updating to the declaration) the second insert runs but the first one doesn't - the node is saved without a "id" attribute. Does this have something to do with the PUL order? (http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Update#Example)

Thanks for your hints! I feel like I'm overlooking something obvious... 
Daniel
