Hi, Do you know if there is a simple way to install the tagsoup parser in the basex web app servlet - If so, is there an instruction set? Also, are there any plans to update the Ubuntu repositories with the latest versions? Many thanks Ben
Hi Nearly related. I sometimes think of wanting to learn to package software for Fedora. Who should I talk with about a responsibility like this? I guess the workflow would be quite the same for Ubuntu and other Linuxes, so probably it could be automated to quite an extent within the user community?

Hi Kristian, excellent idea! I would very much support this, especially as I use Fedora as well :) However, packaging is quite different for different distributions, that's one of the reasons why we can't update BaseX in all distros reliably. However, recently there has been some effort to unify application distribution, I personally think flatpak (http://flatpak.org) is the most promising. If you want to contribute and srtart exploring flatpak and try to build a BaseX flatpak app it would be more than welcome. If we would have that users from most major distributions (flatpak currently supports debian, ubuntu, fedora, arch and gentoo) would finally be able to use proper package management.

Hi Ben, using the zip distribution and starting basexhttp it should work out of the box. Depending how you use BaseX in a web context (i.e. which application container) there are different ways to include external libraries. But in general the jar file has to be put somewhere where the application container can find it, i.e. in a java library path. Cheers Dirk On 06/23/2016 06:55 PM, Ben Mitchell wrote:

Thanks Dirk. I have downloaded the Zip file and run basexhttp. I can see the tagsoup.jar in the package (which I have copied to a java library path) but this is not initially configured to be included in the webapp? Id be very grateful if you could give me a hint about how to change the settings (and in which file) so the webapp uses the html parser (either for the Jetty or Tomcat context)?

Hi, I pull together BaseX and dependencies (including TagSoup) using a Gradle build script [1]. Haven't updated it for a while but it has all the dependency info and can be edited to use other BaseX versions etc. I use it all the time in my projects. Also works on all platforms that support Gradle. In case there are issues or suggestions I'd be happy to incorporate them.
