[Exist-open] Fw: Problem with retrieval via simple XPath query

[John P. <jv...@di...>]

G'Day Everyone,

just wanted to let you know that I fixed the problem below by placing =
the following entry in the eXist configuration file:

<index doctype=3D"root.element.name" default=3D"all" =
attributes=3D"true"/>

It was my understanding that all elements and attributes were indexed by =
default, and that we only make such entries for exceptions, but it looks =
like I was wrong.

However, it seems the indexer still doesn't like an attribute value of =
"-1".

Thanks to Jean-Marc Vanel for his support.

Cheers,
John Polglase

G'Day Everyone,

We run an embedded eXist 1.01b1 on XP Pro, and the following problem has =
persisted for snapshots 20040204 through 20040302:

We load, for example, three validated xml resources into eXist.  Each =
has the same xml data model but different data.  Before each load we =
increment a root element attribute value.

We retrieve these resources individually via the equivalent of:

    ResourceSet rs =3D =
xqs.query("/root.element.name[@attribute.name=3D\"nn\"]");

where

    xqs =3D (XPathQueryService)coll.getService("XPathQueryService", =
"1.0");  ... etc.

This worked fine for all three resources until snapshot 20040204, but =
now we can only retrieve the last resource uploaded.  Although we have =
re-sequenced the resource load, it is always only the last one loaded =
that can be retrieved this way.  However, the other two resources are =
definitely in the database and can be retrieved via non-XPath means.

Perhaps related to the above is that before snapshot 20040204 we used to =
use a value of "-1" as a default value for the same root element =
attribute.  However, we had to abandon this value as, since snapshot =
20040204, we couldn't retrieve with it via Xpath at all.

Any insight will be appreciated,

John Polglase
