[basex-talk] Serialization mismatch using Saxon for xslt:transform
Continuing with my test.xqm experiments…
I have copied Saxon jar into WEB-INF/lib/ so xslt:transform is using Saxon.
I have the following functions declared:
declare
%rest:path("test/xqdoc.xml")
%output:method('xml')
function test:doc() {
inspect:xqdoc( $test:module_name )
};
declare
%rest:path('test/xdoc')
%output:method('html’) (: I’ve tried various values
for method and html-version here ! :)
%output:html-version('5.0')
function test:htmldoc() {
(: WTF? :)
xslt:transform( test:doc(),'static/xsl/html-module.xsl', map { 'source' :
'test.xqm' })
};
Where html-module.xsl initially was:
https://github.com/xquery/xquerydoc/blob/master/src/lib/html-module.xsl
Accessing /basex/test/xdoc returns error message:
Stopped at /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/basex/test.xqm, 41/20:
[FODC0002] "" (Line 69): The entity "nbsp" was referenced, but not declared.
Which was initially very puzzling, as I could not find nbsp in either my
test.xqm, html-module.xsl, or inspect:xsdoc() output.
Turns out, even though it was encoded as "” in html-module.xsl, Saxon
was encoding it as “” on output of the transform.
Initially, I wasn’t sure if Saxon or BaseX was doing the serialization. I guess
it seems to be both.
Original output method for that stylesheet is:
And changing output:method on the function to xhtml or html doesn’t have any
effect on results.
Changing output method on the stylesheet to xhtml causes Saxon to serialized it
as “” instead of “” , and the serialization method on the basex
RESTXQ function doesn’t seem to give an errors with any output methods.
I take from these results that the output from Saxon xslt:transform is
serialized according to the stylesheet, and then parsed again by BaseX as xml
on the way to being serialized again on output from the function, and the error
is coming from that implicit parse.
I don’t suppose there is a way to short circuit the parsing of the
xslt:transform function output and just output the results directly (?)
I tried xslt:transform-text() but it escapes all of the element tags.
Or a way to get it to parse the results of that transform function as html ?
Clearly changing the stylesheet is the easy solution for this test file, but
for some of my other real cases, I may be trying to repurpose stylesheets that
will be used in different contexts: within BaseX and outside of that context,
so keeping different versions of the stylesheets is going to be annoying.
I suppose I could read in the stylesheets and modify the xml:output line in
XQuery or XSLT before using it within BaseX.

Re: [basex-talk] comment()
Also literal work just like other literal XML, as there is
a different syntax for (: XQuery comments :)
XQuery: { collection()[1]//comment() }
{ comment { " last comment " } } (: XQuery Comment :)
Produced output:
"comment()" is the XPath syntax to match a comment node, not a function that
creates comments.

If you want to create a comment node computed by an expression use
comment { expression }
see https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-31/#doc-xquery31-CompCommentConstructor
So
comment { $r }
seems to be what you want to do.
[basex-talk] comment()
Hi,
I want to write a comment in the xml I produce with my XQuery.
I try to use the comment() function, but each time I want to put
something inside the () i have a syntax error.
for example :
{comment("test"),
let $r := random:integer(100) + 1
for $j in (/*)[$r]
return (
$r,$j)
}
or (who is more what I want to do)
{
let $r := random:integer(100) + 1
for $j in (/*)[$r]
return (comment("$r"),$j)
}
I don't find any example on how to use the comment function.
Anyone have example about that use?
Thanks
Marc
[basex-talk] BaseX in AWS Lambda - has anyone tried it?
Good afternoon, I’m currently working on a project where I get lots - maybe thousands - of XML files and I have to run a series of tests on them. I get a whole batch then maybe none for a week. I have all my code in XQuery in BaseX but with some locking and update issues it can take a long time to process. So I thought I might give AWS Lambda a try as all the tests can run independently. Before I jump in I wondered if anyone else has tried it? Any thoughts, suggestions, issues? I did a search of the list but didn’t see anything. Many thanks, James
