Hi Lukas and Andy. The use of wildcards solved the issue and I see now why BaseX stated that it couldn't find the insertion point.

Thanks again!

Or if you really want two and three in no namespace like your first example your starting data should be:

<one xmlns="oneone">

<two xmlns="" />

</one>

Hi Carlos,

the element <two/> in the second example is also bound to the default

namespace, so you have to take care of this. Adding a wildcard to the

name test (.../*:two) should do the trick. Your final insert query then looks

like this:

insert node <three/> into db:open("MyDB", "q471pa0lnovkfflso7ecsd6nj1.xml")/*:one/*:two

If the problem persists just get back to us.

Hope this helps, have a nice day,

Lukas

Hi,

I'm working with latests BaseX distribution. The problem arises when I change from a specific namespace to a default namespace on the XML file. From that moment on the insertion becomes messy, since some of them fail. Example:

Here is the source XML that I insert into the newly created DataBase:

<n:one xmlns:n="oneone">

<two />

</n:one>

I execute then a xquery to insert a node into the empty tag "two": insert node <three/> into db:open("MyDB", "q471pa0lnovkfflso7ecsd6nj1.xml")/*:one/two

In that case, I get a successful insertion: If I query the file (db:open("MyDB", "q471pa0lnovkfflso7ecsd6nj1.xml")/*:one) I get:

<n:one xmlns:n="oneone">

<two>

<three />

</two>

</n:one>

This is the normal behavior. The problem comes when I try to set that namespace as the default. So I create a new DataBase with the following XML:

<one xmlns="oneone">

<two />

</one>

When I try to execute the same xquery as before (insert node <three/> into db:open("MyDB", "q471pa0lnovkfflso7ecsd6nj1.xml")/*:one/two) I get the following error:

rg.basex.core.BaseXException: Stopped at line 1, column 84: [XUDY0027] Insert target must not be empty

I cannot understand then why the namespace affects the insertion this way :-/ I'm querying and insertion from a Java application by using JavaClient, although I guess this is not relevant here.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you and best regards,

C.
