trying to add/put data via rest
Locked
 
|
Hello:
I am looking at your product as both a form / DB solution as well as just a DB solution. We have some customers that have existing html/javascript forms that would want to submit to the eXist DB via rest "put". I am able to query the eXist DB via xquery... i.e. http://domain:8080/exist/rest/db/system/users.xml?_query=//user[group="dba"] How do I add a record/document to the eXist DB via the same type of query? Can I use javascript/XMLHttpRequest? Do you have any examples? How do I handle authentication? Thanks jlafrate |

If you're user is already authenticated to access the html page where your javascript runs from, and you use the same authentication for both the html pages and the exist database, then the browser should handle this for you, i.e., sensibly send appropriate http headers in the xmlhttprequest. I know this works for http basic authentication, which exist supports.

I am trying to do something as simple as send xml to the DB.
This does not work. I am not sure why and I do not have anything to debug other than html response codes. (200)
< html>
< head>
< title>Exist DB Test< /title>
< /head>
< body>
< form>
< a href"" onclick="doAdd();"> Add< /a>
< SCRIPT>
function doAdd()
{
var url = "http://172.28.3.135:8080/exist/rest/db/testdb/usersa.xml";
var xmlstring = "< auth version='1.0'>< !-- Please do not remove the guest and admin groups --> < groups last-id='2'> < group name='dba' id='1'/> < group name='guest' id='2'/>< /groups>< !-- Please do not remove the admin user. -->< users last-id='3'>< user name='admin3' uid='3' password='{MD5}w1gVFoaPs7cXRpMcrGY5Dg==' digest-password='83e080955186ab3337992033cbb8d867'>< group>dba< /group>< /user>< /users>< /auth>";
var xmlhttp = null;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
if ( typeof xmlhttp.overrideMimeType != 'undefined') {
xmlhttp.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
}
} else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} else {
alert('Perhaps your browser does not support xmlhttprequests?');
}
//This code creates the XMLHttpRequest object and stores it in the xmlhttp variable. Once you have an XMLHttpRequest object -- be it the Mozilla or IE flavor -- making the request is easy:
xmlhttp.open("PUT", url, true);
xmlhttp.send(xmlstring);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
// do something with the results
alert("success");
var myObj = eval ( xmlhttp.responseText );
} else {
// wait for the call to complete
}
};
}
< /SCRIPT>
< /form>
< /body>
< /html>

Any update on this?
What format does the xml have to be in to "post" to the DB? My example does not affect or add anything to the DB and I am not sure how to debug this or figure out what is wrong. Thanks Jeff |

Jeff,
I understand you'd like to access eXist from an XMLHttpRequest in JavaScript, which is somewhat unusual if you are using Orbeon Forms. With Orbeon Forms, you would typically access eXist from XForms, using an <xforms:submission>. If you are not using XForms, then I would recommend you post this question in the eXist mailing list.
