Hi Christian, Radu,

I’ve tried adding the dita-ng.jar to the lib/custom dir of basex and then manually modified the startup script to load it first. I can even confirm that it’s the first jar on the path using:

proc:property('java.class.path')

However, the database still fails to parse the XML with default attributes applied. I find myself having to cobble together an undesirable workaround whereby I manually supply the default attribute values myself in order to get my project to work with BaseX. Do you have any further suggestions for how I might get this to work?

Thanks,
Jason

    The start scripts in the official distributions are created from the
    GitHub examples I linked, so they are slightly different.

    In the script, no value will be bound to the $CLASSPATH variable.
    Instead, you can assign values to this variable by yourself, which
    will then be appended to the $CP variable. If you didn’t do so, and if
    your Linux environment does not have any other values assigned to this
    variable (which is the default), the output will necessarily be empty.

    To answer the "how": It will be set via the line that you will find
    some lines below in the script, and the -cp Java argument:

      exec java -cp "$CP" $BASEX_JVM org.basex.BaseX "$@"

    If you want to know which value is bound to $CP, try "echo $CP". In
    Java, the full user class path at runtime will be bound to the
    "java.class.path" system property. It can e.g. be retrieved via
    proc:property('java.class.path') [1].
