7.5.1 beta XMLDB api issues

https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex-examples/blob/master/src/main/java/org/basex/examples/xmldb/XMLDBInsert.java is not working for me. I'm using source code from github (7.5.1 beta). Is it just me? Also, any update on the status of March 2011 regarding the questions: Is it possible to create child Collections within a database through the XMLDB API? And is it possible to insert XMLResources in a child Collection through the XMLDB API? thanks .. Jason XMLDBInsert returns: === XMLDBInsert === * Get collection. * Create new resource.

We will have a look into this. In the meantime, you could use our own API for your scenario. Kind regards, Andreas

Hi Jason,

in order to make the example work, you first need to run XMLDBCreate. I have extended the JavaDoc to point to this issue.

In BaseX, databases and collections are similar concepts. See e.g. [1] for more information on how we handle databases, collections and documents. Best, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Databases
