eXist database

Hi all,

I'm doing a database for XML Schema with OPS and eXist. At the moment, i can upload a XML Schema in the eXist database (with a given collection). However, I would like to choose the collection (to put my XML Schema) among the exist collection. How do that ???

Thanks a lot

Damien.

Hi Damien,

Could you clarify what the problem is with the collection? If you are
using the eXist REST API, you can insert a document into a collection
in eXist from XPL with:

<p:processor name="oxf:pipeline">
<p:input name="config" href="oxf:/ops/utils/submit.xpl"/>
<p:input name="submission">
<xforms:submission method="put"
action="/exist/rest/db/collection/document"/>
</p:input>
<p:input name="request">
<document>...</document>
</p:input>
<p:output name="response" id="dummy"/>
</p:processor>
<p:processor name="oxf:null-serializer">
<p:input name="data" href="#dummy"/>
</p:processor>

RE : eXist database

In reply to this post by damien.peymirat

Hi Alex,

In fact, I would like to put my document in a collection which already exist and which I have chosen in the form. However, I can't see how to recover the name of the collections to propose them in my form. Have you got an idea ??

Thank you

Damien.

Hi Damien,

With the eXist REST interface, you can do this directly from XForms
with a submission that looks like:

<xforms:submission id="save" ref="instance('doc')"
action="/exist/rest/ccm/{xpath to collection}/{xpath to doc}"
method="put" replace="none" xxforms:username="admin"/>

Note that method is 'put', which will insert or update a document in
the database. Also note the attribute value template expressions in
'action'. Those are XPath expressions that let you dynamically create
a URL.

Re: RE : eXist database

Alex:
this is very neat, avoids having to write a whole pipeline to update the db.
many thanks for the tip!

Re: RE : eXist database

Hi Pascal,

Yes, I only started using this a few months ago (I am sure that many
here have been using this before!), and find this method particularly
elegant. Like you say, the main benefit is that like you don't need
anymore to write pipelines to perform CRUD operations. But it makes
things simpler in other ways:

* There is no need to learn about the XML:DB processors
* If needed for debugging, it is easy to see what is going between the
application and the database with a simple HTTP traffic analyzer (like
tcpmon)
* It is easy to access errors returned by eXist from XForms with the
event('body') function
