Hello, I have to query a BaseX database from a XSL transformation. Does someone has ever done this ? I have no idea where to look in... I use SaxonEE, so I can write an extension function, if needed... Best regards, Christophe

Hello Christophe, I've never done this, but I'd say that extension functions are the way to go. If I read the saxon documentation correctly (http://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation/extensibility/functions/), you can use it to call Java functions from within XSLT. As BaseX is written in Java you should be able to put the BaseX jar file into the library path and query BaseX using Java. Many Java Examples of how to query BaseX can be found at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Java_Examples Cheers Dirk

Thanks, I was reading the same articles... It was just to check if something already exists... Best regards, Christophe

A more convenient way (at least for Java amateurs like myself) might be to set up a RESTXQ service in BaseX and to query it using plain fn:doc(''). At least this works for GET requests. If you need to post something, you’ll probably need the EXPath HTTP client library [1] that doesn’t ship with Saxon yet, apart from Florent Georges’ patch [2].
