Sym links in BaseX 9.7.2

Hi everybody ! As we had problems getting our formatDateTime() outputs in french, we followed Christian's advice and updated to BaseX 9.7.2. Now it works and we get our outputs in French, thanks a lot ! But we face a new problem : symbolic links inside the webapp are no longer followed. We tried to had the following to jetty.xml :

|<!-- Allow symbolic links --> <Call name="addAliasCheck"> <Arg><New
class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.AllowSymLinkAliasChecker"/></Arg>
</Call> |

But this doesn't seem to be the answer. I can't remember configuring anything in particular in the previous versions of BaseX and our webapp was just running fine. Thanks for your help. Maud ||

Hi Maud,

I cannot remember of a particular feature that might have caused this. Maybe it’s due to a more recent version of Jetty? Can you recollect which was the latest version of BaseX/Jetty that allowed symbolic links? All the best! Christian

Hi Christian :-) The prior version we were using was 9.3.2 and everything worked fine. Now with 9.7.2 I get this error : Stopped at /path/to/basex/webapp/synopsx/workspace/bvm/models/mixed.xqm, 38/55: [XQST0059] Could not retrieve module: /path/to/basex/webapp/synopsx/models/synopsx.xqm. although nothing changed in our webapp. Thanks a lot, and all the best :-) Maud

Hi Maud,

I believe I remember that we have checked multiple locations for libraries modules in the past, and that we have made the import more strict to avoid ambiguities. Thus, it could be that some import paths need to be slightly rewritten. Could you possibly share the lines of code with us (in particular, line 38 from “mixed.xqm”) that triggers this error? Where is “synopsx.xqm” supposed to be located? If both modules are in the same directory, it should suffice to supply the file name: import module ... = '...' at 'synopsx.xqm'; Feel free to send me a copy of your project in private. Cordialement ! Christian
