XPL and Xquery

Hi all,

I would like a better understanding to the following example:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/processors-xml-databases#TOC-The-xml:db-API

It's written that you have to define the datasource like this:

<datasource>
    <driver-class-name>org.exist.xmldb.DatabaseImpl</driver-class-name>
    <uri>xmldb:exist://localhost:9999/exist/xmlrpc</uri>
    <username>admin</username>
    <password>admin</password>
</datasource>

you and then use it with this line

<p:input name="datasource" href="datasource.xml"/>
So I guess that the xml is stored in a file named datasource.xml, but where am I suppose to put the xml file ? In the same location as the xpl file ? in the resources/config/ folder ? Elsewhere ?

Also, in the line 
<xdb:query collection="/db/orbeon/blog-example/blogs" create-collection="true">
What is the "create-collection" attribute for ?

One more last, in the query/update/insert examples, I would like to be sure that : -> 
collection="/db/orbeon/blog-example/blogs" -> blogs is a file without extension in exist ?
<xdb:update collection="/db/orbeon/bizdoc-example"> -> bizdoc-example is also a file without extension in exist ?
<xdb:insert collection="/db/ops/dmv-example"/> -> dmv-example is a file (as the 2 before), and with the line
<p:input name="data" href="#document-info"/> -> we try to add the data #document-info at the end of the file ?
Thanks !

Hi Lomobob,

We haven't used those processors in a long while and I'm not sure to have a quick answer for you. Out of curiosity, what is it that you where trying to achieve using those processors? (I am asking as there might be another way to achieve the same goal.)

Re: XPL and Xquery

Hi Alex,

We'd like to find a way to have a unique URL entry that could redirect automatically to the good form, and some info for that are on the eXist database. I'm sure there is another way, but I think it would be very interesting for us to achieve using this processor, maybe for another purpose later.

By the way, another question: I have the feeling that any change on Orbeon and/or eXist is instantly working, except for the change in properties-local.xml, am I wrong ? Is there some documentation on the subject, like in what cases do we need to restart tomcat ?

Thanks
