Author Mode "XQueryOperation" and eXist

[fhorn]

Hello,

I have problems to use the operation "XQueryOperation" in the Author mode. The content of the parameter script uses an eXist database module, the module for performing HTTP requests as a client (http://exist-db.org:8098/exist/apps/fun ... ientModule). The parameters sourceLocation, targetLocation and caretPosition are not defined. I receive the following message if I use the action in the Author mode.

Code: Select all

"Couldn't execute operation: 'ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.XQueryOperation' for action: 'ExampleAction' because of: Cannot create a transformer from the provided script:

xquery version "3.0";

declare namespace httpclient="http://exist-db.org/xquery/httpclient";  

declare namespace tei="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0";

let $url := "https://api.zotero.org/groups/<groupID>/items?format=tei&v=3&key=<key>"

let $data := httpclient:get($url, true(), ())

return $data//tei:title

Reason:F XPST0017: Cannot find a matching 3-argument function named {http://exist-db.org/xquery/httpclient}get() at line 5"

The script is a request for tei-conform data in a specific zotero library. Unfortunately, the library is private, that's why I decoded the zotero group ID ("<groupID>") and the key ("<key>") in this message. The XQuery script works correctly if the file is a resource on the eXist server or stored on my computer.

Here is a snippet of the output:

Code: Select all

<title xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" level="m">Dictionary of .../title>

<title xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" level="m">Namenarten in ...</title>

I configured eXist as main validator for XQuery files as it is described here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/eXist_support.html
The oXygen version is 16.1 and the eXist version 2.1.

Do you have some hints?

Hi,

I'm afraid you can't use XQueryOperation with eXist XQuery. The XQuery engine is not configurable for this operation, it simply uses the Oxygen built-in Saxon XQuery engine.

Hi,

As a workaround, why don't you use the XQuery function doc directly to load the XML from the HTTP server?

Hi,

thank you very much for the quick responses!
Everything works correctly if I use the XQuery function doc to load the XML from the HTTP server.
