Hello there,

I am attempting to create a database and add a resource to it programatically in Java.

If I use this code:

public static void main(String[] args) { try (ClientSession session = new ClientSession("localhost", 1984, "admin", "admin")) { session.execute("SET INTPARSE true"); session.execute("CREATE DB TESTING D:\VP DB\export.xml"); session.execute("CLOSE"); session.close(); } catch (IOException ex) {

Logger.getLogger(BaseXTesting.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); }

The code run's without a problem.

When I attempt to do this:

public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO code application logic here CreateDB createDBCmd = new CreateDB("TESTING"); Open openCmd = new Open("TESTING"); Add addCmd = new Add("\BaseXTarget", "D:\VP DB\export.xml"); Set setCmd = new Set("INTPARSE", true);

try (ClientSession session = new ClientSession("localhost", 1984, "admin", "admin")) { session.execute(setCmd); session.execute(openCmd); session.execute(addCmd); session.close(); } catch (IOException ex) {

Logger.getLogger(BaseXTesting.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex); }

The following exception is thrown:

run: Jan 26, 2017 5:03:17 PM basextesting.BaseXTesting main SEVERE: null org.basex.core.BaseXException: "BaseXTarget.xml" (Line 1): No text allowed before root element. at org.basex.api.client.ClientSession.receive(ClientSession.java:191) at org.basex.api.client.ClientSession.execute(ClientSession.java:160) at org.basex.api.client.ClientSession.execute(ClientSession.java:165) at org.basex.api.client.Session.execute(Session.java:36) at basextesting.BaseXTesting.main(BaseXTesting.java:36)

BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

It could be me being daft, but both pieces of code should achieve the same thing as they point to the same file, but when classes are used instead of command strings, the BaseXException is thrown.

I have checked my data for the byte order mark, and have the ensure it is enoced using UTF-8.

Help!
