RESTXQ Functions

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

Conventions

  • The module will be available if the basex-api library is found in the classpath. This is the case if you use one of the complete distributions of BaseX (zip, exe, war).
  • All functions are assigned to the http://exquery.org/ns/restxq namespace, which is statically bound to the rest prefix.
  • 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, basex:http is raised.

General Functions

rest:base-uri

Signature
rest:base-uri() as xs:anyURI
SummaryReturns the implementation-defined base URI of the resource function.

rest:uri

Signature
rest:uri() as xs:anyURI
SummaryReturns 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

Signature
rest:wadl() as element(wadl:application)
SummaryReturns a WADL description of all available REST services.

rest:init

Signature
rest:init(
  $update  as xs:boolean?  := false()
) as empty-sequence()
SummaryInitializes the RESTXQ module cache:
  • By default, the cache will be discarded, and all modules will be parsed and cached again.
  • If $update is enabled, the background caching behavior is simulated (see PARSERESTXQ): Only updated modules will be parsed.
  • This function should be called if new RESTXQ code is deployed at runtime.
