Hello Vincent, thanks for the suggestion. I'm not familiar with RESTXQ I can give it a try. thanks, adil On Thu, Sep 22, 2016 at 04:32:39PM +, Lizzi, Vincent wrote: > Adil, > > If you can use RESTXQ to create a function, you could use something like: > > db:add($todb, db:open($fromdb, $path), $path) > > inside a function available that is made available via RESTXQ. > > Vincent > > http://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ > > > From: basex-talk-boun...@mailman.uni-konstanz.de > [mailto:basex-talk-boun...@mailman.uni-konstanz.de] On Behalf Of Christian > Grün > Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2016 11:19 AM > To: Adil Hasan > Cc: BaseX > Subject: Re: [basex-talk] using rest api to move a file > > Hi Adil, > > Thanks for mentioning the null pointer exception, this is clearly > something that should be fixed (if you are interested, you can follow > the issue that I’ve just created [1]). > > rename test1.xml test-moved/test1.xml > > With this command, you can move documents inside a single database. > There is currently no fixed solution to move resources across > database, so you’ll probably have to use two requests for this (GET > and PUT). > > Hope this helps > Christian > > [1] > https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/1358<https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/1358> > > > > > > > > > The command returns a 200, but nothing has moved.

Re: [basex-talk] using rest api to move a file
Adil, If you can use RESTXQ to create a function, you could use something like: db:add($todb, db:open($fromdb, $path), $path) inside a function available that is made available via RESTXQ.

There is currently no fixed solution to move resources across database, so you’ll probably have to use two requests for this (GET and PUT).

Re: [basex-talk] using rest api to move a file
Hi Adil, Thanks for mentioning the null pointer exception, this is clearly something that should be fixed (if you are interested, you can follow the issue that I’ve just created [1]). rename test1.xml test-moved/test1.xml With this command, you can move documents inside a single database. There is currently no fixed solution to move resources across database, so you’ll probably have to use two requests for this (GET and PUT).
