Hello, I am trying to connect to a baseX (remote) server through xmldb-api following the examples in the git-hub but it fails giving Invalid Uri error. I can access the database through REST using the following url: http://<serverip>:8181/BaseX772/rest/wcs-collection/ but I cannot connect using the xmldb url xmldb:basex://<serverip>:1984/wcs-collection or xmldb:basex://<serverip>:1984/ or xmldb:basex://<serverip>:1984/rest or using the 8181 port.

Could you please provide us with a little code snippet? Do the examples work that are linked from our examples page [1]? Best, Christian PS: We tend to deprecate the use of the XML:DB API, because both the spec and our driver has not been updated for a while. The XQJ API is probably the more up-to-date choice.

Thank you for the reply Christian, I 've not tried the examples in the [1], but the ones I am using are identical. code snippet: Class cl = Class.forName("org.basex.api.xmldb.BXDatabase"); Database database = (Database) cl.newInstance(); DatabaseManager.registerDatabase(database); DatabaseManager.getCollection("xmldb:basex://<theserverip>:1984/wcs-collection", "admin", "admin") //error in this line
I 've just tried the XQJ
         try {
             XQDataSource xqjd = new BaseXXQDataSource();
             xqjd.setProperty("serverName",
"http://<theserverip>:1984/wcs-collection/");
             xqjd.setProperty("port", "1984");
             XQConnection xqjc = xqjd.getConnection("admin", "admin");
         } catch (XQException e1) {
             // TODO Auto-generated catch block
             e1.printStackTrace();
         }
and I have an java.net.UnknownHostException.
Regards Yannis

So the reason is probably your server ip. Please note that the BaseX XML:DB API only works in embedded mode (using localhost).

XQJ should indeed communicate with the database server. Are you are that your server is running? Best, Christian

Written for BaseX 7.7. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
