Hi Rob,

Glad to have you back! I have revised the inspect:functions function; from now on, it also returns updating functions [1].

Best, Christian

Hi Christian,

After a period of focussing on Angular I’m back at to BaseX ;-).

I found that the inspect:functions function does not return updating functions. Is that by design?

I would like to be able to use the inspect:functions function for triggering my update function on the server side, which of course are updating functions

TIA for you reply,

Cheers,

Rob Stapper Hi Christian,

one remark: the as a result of a inspect:functions() returned updating functions can only be activated when MIXUPDATES option is set to true. This is however a workaround. Seems like a generic issue for this kind of %processing functions. Buiding two variants for each situation, %updating and non-%updating, for these kind of %processing functions doesn't feel like the optimal solution. Maybe something to put on the agenda (just a thought) Best, Rob

Hi Rob,

What do you mean by »activating« functions? Do you want to invoke all of the returned functions in a loop?

Best, Christian

Rob Christian,

this is my actual dispatcher code. declare %rest:path("/DB") %rest:POST("{$specifications}") %input:json("format=xquery") %output:method("adaptive") %output:indent("no") %updating function _:dispatch ( $specifications as array(*) ) { _:response( update:apply( function( $requester as xs:string , $objectType as xs:string , $transaction as xs:string , $specifications as array(*) ) { inspect:functions()[ namespace-uri-from-QName( function-name(.)) = $objectType and local-name-from-QName( function-name(.)) = $transaction ]( $specifications) } , $specifications ) ) } ; I want a flexible client-server configuration for prototyping. Performance is not an issue here. This is what I ended up with. Pretty creative. isn't it? So no loop, but a filter. Hope this gives you any insight in my madness ;-) Rob

Christian, Looks promising. Will dive into this in the weekend. Many thanks, Rob -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Christian Grün [mailto:christian.gruen@gmail.com] Verzonden: woensdag 21 februari 2018 14:25 Aan: Rob Stapper CC: BaseX Onderwerp: Re: [basex-talk] inspect:functions does not return updating functions

this is my actual dispatcher code.

So this means you are invoking the function, and it will always be updating? To invoke updating functions, you need the 'updating' keyword: let $f := function() { db:output('1') } return updating $f() Hope this helps, Christian

declare %rest:path("/DB") %rest:POST("{$specifications}") %input:json("format=xquery")

%output:method("adaptive") %output:indent("no") %updating function _:dispatch ( $specifications as array(*) ) { _:response( update:apply( function( $requester as xs:string , $objectType as xs:string , $transaction as xs:string , $specifications as array(*) ) { inspect:functions()[ namespace-uri-from-QName( function-name(.)) = $objectType and local-name-from-QName( function-name(.)) = $transaction ]( $specifications) } , $specifications ) ) } ;
