For those that are interested, a directory can be created by using MLJAM to make a call out to Java to do the directory creation. You will need to setup MLJAM (see http://developer.marklogic.com/howto/tutorials/2006-05-mljam.xqy) The code below can then be used to do the directory creation. (Obviously you will need to change it to match your environment)
David xquery version "0.9-ml" module "http://mySite.createDir"; declare namespace dir = "http://mySite.createDir"; import module namespace jam = "http://xqdev.com/jam"; at "/modules/jam.xqy" define function createDirectory($directory) { jam:start("http://localhost:8080/mljam/mljam";, "mljam", "secret"), jam:set("newDirectory", $directory), jam:eval(' import java.io.*; // Create one directory boolean success = (new File(newDirectory)).mkdir(); if (success) { System.out.println("Directory: " + newDirectory + " created"); } '), jam:get("success"), jam:end() } -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Blakeley Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2008 1:11 PM To: General Mark Logic Developer Discussion Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] xdmp:directory-create() doesn't seem to work Not directly, no. Depending on what you're doing, you might want to look into XQSync (http://developer.marklogic.com/howto/tutorials/2006-08-xqsync.xqy). Another possibility is to write a simple web service, in a language of your choice, that performs the directory-create on demand. Your XQuery could POST a directory name to it, using xdmp:http-post(). -- Mike On 2008-12-11 09:00, David Scott Gurney wrote: > Thanks - that clarifies why I'm not seeing any directories created on the > file system. > > What I really want to do is the ability to create a directory in the file > system so that I can write a file to it with xdmp:save() > > xdmp:save() works very well as long as the directory already exists - hence > the need to create the directory before performing the save operation. > > It looks like xdmp:filesystem-directory will only give a listing of files > within an already existing directory.
