Hi Gregory, I think it's a simple namespace issue (and you're not the first person to encounter it...)
Try modifying your input to put the constraint elements into the correct namespace, like this: declare variable $ADDITIONAL-OPTIONS := ( <constraint name="title" xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> <word> <element ns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"; name="title"/> </word> </constraint>, <constraint name="creator" xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> <word> <element ns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"; name="namePart"/> </word> </constraint> ); --Colleen ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Murray, Gregory [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2011 8:28 AM To: General MarkLogic Developer Discussion Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Application Builder $ADDITIONAL-OPTIONS When customizing an app generated by Application Builder, the technique described in the "Application Builder Developer's Guide" in section 4.3.7.1 "Adding a searchable-expression Option" sounds great, but I can't get it to work for me. The technique involves using the $ADDITIONAL-OPTIONS variable in custom/appfunctions.xqy to add elements (in my case <constraint> elements) to the <options> used with the Search API. The custom elements are supposed to get added because of this: declare variable $OPTIONS-STANDARD := <options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> ... lots of other elements ... { $app:ADDITIONAL-OPTIONS } </options>; in lib/config.xqy But what I've found is that if I add elements to $ADDITIONAL-OPTIONS they have no effect. If I instead customize the $OPTIONS variable in appfunctions.xqy by copying <options> verbatim from lib/config.xqy and then adding my custom elements directly into <options>, my constraints work just fine. In other words, I'm supposed to be able to do this: declare variable $ADDITIONAL-OPTIONS := ( <constraint name="title"> <word> <element ns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"; name="title"/> </word> </constraint>, <constraint name="creator"> <word> <element ns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"; name="namePart"/> </word> </constraint> ); but instead I have to do this: declare variable $OPTIONS := <options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search";> ... a verbatim copy of everything in <options> from $OPTIONS-STANDARD in lib/config.xqy ... <constraint name="title"> <word> <element ns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"; name="title"/> </word> </constraint> <constraint name="creator"> <word> <element ns="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"; name="namePart"/> </word> </constraint> </options>; Any ideas?
