[Exist-open] Problem using logicsheets and <xdb:collection> with recent snapshot.

[Gomez, N. <nic...@hp...>]

Hello,
=20
I am running eXist in embed-mode, served by Tomcat, and access it
through logicsheets. The following statement used to work properly (with
snapshot 20040302):
...
<xdb:collection>
    <xdb:uri>serverURI</xdb:uri>
    <xdb:user>user</xdb:user>
    <xdb:password>passwd</xdb:password>
    <xdb:execute>
        <xdb:xpath>queryStr</xdb:xpath>
...
where serverURI, user, passwd and queryStr are variables, properly
defined.

To prevent some failure with XUpdate and data corruption, I installed
the 20040616 snapshot, and the code above failed.

Are there any reasons for this change ? Has any-one encountered the
problem ?

To solve my problem, I tried to look at the xmldb.xsl stylesheet (under
src/org/exist), which is applied to the xsp to generate the Java code.
(By the way, why are there 2 stylesheets: xmldb.xsl and xmldb2.xsl ?)  I
saw what may be an error in the get-parameter template (around line 703)
and replaced=20
    <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"*[local-name() =3D $name]/node()"/>
by
    <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"*[local-name(.) =3D $name]/node()"/>
=20
Is it actually an error ?
With this change, statement like
=20
<xdb:collection uri=3D"xmldb:exist:///db">
    <xdb:user>user</xdb:user>
    <xdb:password>passwd</xdb:password>
    <xdb:execute>
        <xdb:xpath>queryStr</xdb:xpath>
=20
works, but still fails if the uri is not passed as a parameter:
=20
<xdb:collection>
    <xdb:uri>serverURI</xdb:uri>
    <xdb:user>user</xdb:user>
    <xdb:password>passwd</xdb:password>
    <xdb:execute>
        <xdb:xpath>queryStr</xdb:xpath>
=20
Any help will be appreciated, which could prevent me either from
re-writing all my xsp or customizing too much my exist...
