Hi Christian,
Thanks for the answer. There is one thing I want to point out: My
problem is not the quality measure. I have problems because my client
lacks them. It sends 'application/xml,*/*' which is interpreted as: any
function that either satisfies application/xml or any other mime type.
Of course any othe mime type alone weill select more than one function
if there is more than one function specified for a path only
differentiated by mime/type in %rest:produces. The BaseX answer to this
is a BASX0003 error and therefore no meaningful result.
Although it is correct to assume */* does not really select any funtion
in particular I find that bahavior not helpful. I should be able to
specify what should be executed on */*.
Furthermore when some mime type is specified alongside */* I think that
*/* should be ignored and that mime type used instead.
Another solution would be to automatically assign a mime type more to
the left in the list a slightly higher quality measure so the problem of
a equal mime types can be solved. I even think there is some standard
about processing the Accept header in this manner but I may be wrong.
Best Regars

Hi Omar,
Thanks for the reminder. Yes, we still plan to improve support for
quality factors in our RESTXQ implementation. We’ll probably need to
find out how this has been resolved in JAX-RS, and define an
equivalent solution for RESTXQ. I have updated the initial comment in
Issue 1220 [1].
I am also passing this on to Adam Retter, the initiator of RESTXQ:
Adam, did you think about adding support for quality factors in the
RESTXQ implementation of eXist-db?
And, Omar, I assume you would like to have chosen the function that
matches the first content types given in the Accept header?
Thanks everyone,
Christian

Hi list!
I like my oXygen editor to request raw XML data from my RESTxq endpoints to
test XSL stylesheets. When I do this with RESTxq paths that have different
%rest:produces it fails with the BASX0003 multiple functions error.
Turns out oXygen sends application/xml, */* as Accept header without any
quality.
I understand that as documented in
https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/1220 this is known not to work.
My/our workaround is to branch in a single XQuery function using sth. like:
if (some $a in tokenize(request:header("ACCEPT"), ',') satisfies $a =
('text/xml', 'application/xml')) then $xml else $xhtml
I hope this is still on the agenda for 8.7.
