I've found the answer for it from this page http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options

so for the java code in version 8.6.7, it needs to use


System.setProperty("org.basex.dbpath", "/home/xxx/test_basex/");

to set this global path and then, BaseX will read/create collection to this dbpath correctly.

Subject: [basex-talk] How to set DBPath in BaseX version 8.6.7 as in version 7.3.1?
 
Hello,

I'm using BaseX version 7.3.1 and I can set dbpath where the collections
are created with this code:

new Set("dbpath", "/home/xxxx/basex-database").execute(context);

However, when changing to BaseX version 8.6.7, this statement will throw
exception "org.basex.core.BaseXException: Global option 'DBPATH' cannot
be set."

and instead it tries to create new collections to a default folder:
/home/xxxx/BaseXData

How can I set BaseX to work on existing dbpath folder
(/home/xxxx/basex-database) as in version 7.3.1? Because I have existing
data here and not the newly created one.

Thanks,
