Dear BaseX team,
I encountered a strange phenomenon: after loading a document into the database (using db:create), ordinary retrieval yields a phantom with distorted namespaces, like this:
<Accommodation xmlns="http://otds-group.org/otds"> <Availabilities xmlns="" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://otds-group.org/otds" Key="1Z"> <Availability xmlns="" xmlns="http://otds-group.org/otds" Key="1Z" StartDate="2013-05-01" EndDate="2013-10-31"> <DefaultDayState xmlns="" xmlns="http://otds-group.org/otds"> <Open xmlns="" xmlns="http://otds-group.org/otds"/> </DefaultDayState> </Availability>
...
Note the xmlns="", side by side with xmlns="...".
This is the query:
let $c := *return element {node-name($c)} {$c/*:Availabilities}
And this is the (correct) result I obtain if I use as input not the uploaded document, but the original file:
<Accommodation xmlns="http://otds-group.org/otds"> <Availabilities xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Key="1Z"> <Availability Key="1Z" StartDate="2013-05-01" EndDate="2013-10-31"> <DefaultDayState> <Open/> </DefaultDayState> </Availability> ...
I wanted to reproduce the problem with a minimal input document, but then the error did not occur.
The document producing the error has 286 KB.
One more remark: after droping all databases and repeating the exercise, the problem still remained.
Kind regards, Hans-Juergen
PS: If a team member would like to receive the input file, I would send it to him or her directly.
