This XQuery Module contains helper functions for the RESTXQ API, some of which are defined in the RESTXQ Draft.

Conventions

  • The basex-api package must be included in the classpath. This is always the case if you use one of the complete distributions (zip, exe, war) of BaseX.
  • All functions are assigned to the http://exquery.org/ns/restxq namespace. The module must be imported in the query prolog:
import module namespace rest = "http://exquery.org/ns/restxq";
...
  • In this documentation, the namespace is bound to the rest prefix, and the http://wadl.dev.java.net/2009/02 namespace is bound to the wadl prefix.
  • If any of the functions is called outside the servlet context, the error BXSE0003: is raised.

General Functions

rest:base-uri

Signatures rest:base-uri() as xs:anyURI
Summary This function returns the implementation defined base URI of the resource function.

rest:uri

Signatures rest:uri() as xs:anyURI
Summary This function returns the complete URI that addresses the Resource Function. This is the result of rest:base-uri appended with the path from the path annotation of the resource function.

rest:wadl

Signatures rest:wadl() as element(wadl:application)
Summary This (unofficial) function returns a WADL description of all available REST services.
