Whitespace

Hi, I have a problem with whitespace handling of the default BaseX XML parser. If I have:

<s>and <a>this</a> is</s>

the parser deletes the spaces after "and" and before "is". Why not preserving the space as default option here? This kind of space is very important. I know that with adding xml:space I can solve the problem, but this is not easy to do automatically (moreover I cannot do this with copy/modify because all spaces are deleted after adding xm:space ). Is there a parameter which forces the parser to keep the spaces, without modifying the file? And in general, can the behavior of the parser be changed?

Hi,

have you looked at the CHOP option [1]? Hope that helps, Leo [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options#CHOP

Perfect. It works. Thanks.

Hi all, I have BaseX version 8.3 running on Ubuntu and Tomcat. Up till recently eveything was running nice and reliable. Lately however I see some queries, that otherwise may take a few seconds to complete, to run abnormally long. So long that they will eventually cause Tomcat, and thus BaseX, to stop running. In the BaseX log I can locate these queries. One had an execution time of a whopping 156096,382 seconds ... (!) My questions: 1. What can cause BaseX to take so long to run a query that otherwise takes just a few seconds? 2. Is there a way (configuration option) to set a timeout for queries run as admin? From the documentation I conclude that admin operations are never timed out. But the query that ran so long is just a read query. No updates or insertions are performed. So why was it not timed out? Thanks in advance. Paul
