Hi,

I'm new at this, so please excuse if I missed something obvious...

BaseX implements a REST interface via basexhttp and JavaScript
frameworks like Ext JS allow you to use a REST interface for accessing
data. So I thought it may be possible to create a Web interface to a
corpus stored in BaseX that enables users to search the corpus and
update the annotations *without* writing server-side code.

The first obstacle I encountered is that under the same-orgin policy
browsers consider localhost and localhost:8984 two separate domains and
inhibit XmlHttpRequests calls, and basexhttp seems not to support
cross-origin resource sharing (see <http://enable-cors.org/>).

Using BaseX as a data store for an Ext JS component without having to
write server-side code seems very attractive. However, I'm now
wondering whether this approach makes sense at all. Has anybody tried
to do something like this?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards
