Hello,
We are building a client application (XCC) that provides the ability to edit
any element/node of document stored in Mark Logic server. The application
displays the document (in HTML) and the end-user should be able to select any
node and update it. For this purpose the client application needs a way of
uniquely identifying a node (of a Mark Logic document) - this identifier can
then used to update the node via a 'xdmp:node-replace".
We could think of the following options:
1. Use the Node Xpath (i.e. doc(".....xml")/xx/yy[i]/zz) as the identifier for
the node. This is obviously not a good idea as multiple users would editing the
same document and the
Node Xpath would change.
2. Add our own "ID" attribute (UUID generated) to every node in the document.
This ID can then be used in an XPATH expression to safely locate the correct
node for updating. This option should work, however requires us to re-process
all our existing documents (for adding the ID attribute).
Is there a another way to do this? Does Mark Logic provide a unique ID for a
node?
Regards,
Deshbir
