Hi, The changelog for 6.3.1 says: [ADD] REST: support for hierarchical collections added; details will follow I am using 6.3.4, but if I send a post request to /server/collection/subcollection, only the collection gets created (and the document is added to collection, not to subcollection). In view of the above, could you please throw more light on how the subcollections can be created using REST and how documents can be added to subcollections using REST? Thanks, Mahender

Could you provide us with an sscce that allow us to reproduce the issue?

The documentation will be updated with the upcoming official release. Best, Christian

Dear Mahender, your mentioned problem seems to be fixed now. For example in org.basex.examples.jaxrx:
// The java URL connection to the resource
     URL url = new
URL("http://localhost:8984/basex/jax-rx/test/test2/input.xml");
will add the document input.xml to the subcollection test2 in the collection test. Please check out the newest sources. Kind regards, Andreas

Hi, sscce below: Sequence1: Action: curl -i -X PUT "http://localhost:8984/basex/jax-rx/abcde" curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d "<HelloWorld/>" "http://localhost:8984/basex/jax-rx/abcde/subA/docA" Expectation: Creation of docA in subcollection subA under collection abcde Actual: Creation of document named subAdocA in collection abcde Sequence2: Action: curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d "<HelloWorld/>" "http://localhost:8984/basex/jax-rx/abcde/subA/docA" Expectation: Two documents with the same name in the same collection (at same hierarchy level) should be disallowed. Actual: Two documents with the same name in the same collection (at same hierarchy level) are allowed. I do not know how things will work later when xquery operations will be invoked using document name (i.e., which one will be fetched out of the two documents, since both have the same name). curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/query+xml' -d '<query xmlns="http://jax-rx.sourceforge.net"><text>for $doc in collection("abcde") return base-uri($doc)</text></query>' 'localhost:8984/basex/jax-rx/' HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/xml Content-Length: 246 Server: Jetty(6.1.26)
<jax-rx:results xmlns:jax-rx="http://jax-rx.sourceforge.net"><jax-rx:result>file:(somePath)/subAdocA</jax-rx:result><jax-rx:result>file:(somePath)/subAdocA</jax-rx:result></jax-rx:results>
A delete using document name deletes all documents with the same name at the same hierarchy level: curl -i -X DELETE "http://localhost:8984/basex/jax-rx/abcde/subAdocA" HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: text/plain Transfer-Encoding: chunked Server: Jetty(6.1.26) 2 document(s) deleted in 1.2 ms. Regards, Mahender

Dear Andreas, Many thanks for the speedy reply - I shall check it soon. So, is this updated source made available via updated jars somewhere in Maven, say, as a snapshot revision (I take basex and basex-api.jar from your maven repo for my builds) or do I have to find an alternative way of accomplishing it? Thanks, Mahender.

Written for BaseX 6. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
