Questions about server protocol
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello.
This is my first post on this mailing list. I'm currently trying to create an Apache Camel component for using BaseX database.
I have two questions about BaseX server protocol.
1) Does exist a command to test connection (eg. ping or echo)? 2) Can I trust in error message text for detecting error conditions?
Best regards, Sebastián Filippini
Dear Sebastián,

Not really. Instead, you can try to register a client. If you get a response, the connection is available.

The returned result code of commands (00: ok, 01: error) indicates an operation was successful [1]. It depends on the specific command or query which error messages will be returned.
Hope this helps, Christian
