Re: [Exist-open] Import validation

[Jean-Paul R. <re...@gm...>]

Hi Ted,

Further to Pieter's comment, validation:validate-report() was a function
available in early version of eXist and was deprecated a long time ago,
replaced by validation:parse-report(), validation:jaxv-report() or
valation:jing-report() functions (which is why Michael suggested using a
different function.

When using functions in eXist it is obligatory to check the version you are
using against the documentation. For example, you can search functions here
https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/fundocs/index.html. (although function
documentation is installed automatically in with eXist) You should acquire
the habit of using the terminology of Xquery, functions, as it will help
you search for solutions.

Regards,
JPR

Re: [Exist-open] Import validation

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

On page 251 of the eXist book that was published in December 2014, there
are generic validation functions.  I wonder if they were removed as eXist
advanced.

Hi Ted,

Where on http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/fundocs/index.html did you find 
a function validation:validate-report#2 ? I don't see it.

Best,
Pieter

Re: [Exist-open] Import validation

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

I finally understand most of what is going on here.  The validation module
is sort of like an object in object oriented programming.  The clear
grammar cache is like an object method.  And the validation report is like
an object method.  I inserted the new line of code as everyone here has
suggested.  But I received a new error:

xquery version "3.0";
import module namespace validation="http://exist-db.org/xquery/validation";
let $schema :=
xs:anyURI('/db/apps/HTML_Student/SVG_Ellipse_Webpage_XML_Schema.xsd')
let $instance :=
xs:anyURI('/db/apps/HTML_Student/SVG_Ellipse_Webpage_XML.xml')
return
(validation:clear-grammar-cache(), validation:validate-report($instance,
$schema))

 Function validation:validate-report() is not defined in module namespace:
http://exist-db.org/xquery/validation [at line 5, column 36]

 I'm guessing that this "method" doesn't exist in this module.  Where does
it exist?

nction validation:validate-report() is not defined in module namespace:

Re: [Exist-open] Import validation

[Michael W. <wes...@ja...>]

Hi Ted,

Let's first break down your program:

xquery version "3.0";
> let $schema :=
> xs:anyURI('/db/apps/HTML_Student/SVG_Ellipse_Webpage_XML_Schema.xsd')
> let $instance :=
> xs:anyURI('/db/apps/HTML_Student/SVG_Ellipse_Webpage_XML.xml')
> return
> (validation:clear-grammar-cache(), validation:validate-report($instance,

>

The two *let* statements assign values to the variables *$schemai and
$instance*. So far, so good.

Then you make two function calls in the *return* statement, these to:

・ *validation:clear-grammar-cache*()
・ *validation:validate-report*(...)

The *validation* namespace is NOT built into XQuery. It needs to be loaded
into your program.

A quick check of the XQuery Function Documentation for "validation" (
https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/fundocs/index.html) shows that the
namespace of *http://exist-db.org/xquery/validation
<http://exist-db.org/xquery/validation>* has the first function, but not
the second. The closest function to the second is the
*validation:jaxp-report/3* function:

validation:jaxp-report

validation:jaxp-report($instance as item(), $enable-grammar-cache as
xs:boolean, $catalogs as item()*) as node()

Validate document by parsing $instance. Optionally grammar caching can be
enabled and an XML catalog can be specified. Supported grammars types are
'.xsd' and '.dtd'. An XML report is returned.
Parameters:
$instance The document referenced as xs:anyURI, a node (element or result
of fn:doc()) or as a Java file object.
$enable-grammar-cache Set the flag to true() to enable grammar caching.
$catalogs* The catalogs referenced as xs:anyURI's.Returns:node() : a
validation report.


To import the *validation* namespace into your program, enter the following
after the XQuery version line:

import module namespace "http://exist-db.org/xquery/validation";


Importing modules is one of the core functionalities of XQuery for code
reuse. I strongly recommend reading this page about creating (and using)
XQuery functions from the XQuery WikiBook:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XQuery/Creating_XQuery_Functions


That explains how to create your own modules and import them. The example I
provided above (which doesn't have the *at* clause) is for modules built
into eXist.

The XQuery Function Documentation page and XQuery WikiBook are two
resources you should have bookmarked.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Exist-open] Import validation

[Jean-Paul R. <re...@gm...>]

If you've installed eXist with the default applications, a simple look at
the loaded modules for the apps would give you the basic models to follow.
In this case, validation is a built-in module that comes with eXist so the
import is simple. See the bold part below.

xquery version "3.0";

*import module namespace validation="http://exist-db.org/xquery/validation
<http://exist-db.org/xquery/validation>";*

let $schema :=
xs:anyURI('/db/apps/HTML_Student/SVG_Ellipse_Webpage_XML_Schema.xsd')
let $instance :=
xs:anyURI('/db/apps/HTML_Student/SVG_Ellipse_Webpage_XML.xml')

Michael Westbay stated that I didn't import the validation module
anywhere.  I'm still very new at Xquery.  And I looked up importing
validation on the internet and found no instructions on how to do this in
eXist.  What validation module am I importing and what instruction needs to
be used to perform this importing?

Re: [Exist-open] Form Validation Error

[Michael W. <wes...@ja...>]

Hi Ted,

This is an easy one.

Function validation:validate-report() is not defined in module namespace:

xquery version "3.0";

You don't import the *validation* module anywhere. With no module for the
validation namespace to be bound to, there is no *clear-grammar-cache* nor
*validate-report* functions to call.

Hope this helps.

Take care.

Re: [Exist-open] Installing eXist-db under Windows

[Pieter L. <pie...@be...>]

Hi Ted (et al.),

A general practice that we have a adopted is the following:
- install the jar under C:\exist-distributions\{version}, specifying a 
separate data directory (e.g. C:\exist-data)
- make a Symbolic link to that folder using mklink /D C:\exist-db 
C:\exist-distributions\{version} - ( run our local modifications )

This makes testing a newer release and switching back and forth a bit 
easier.

Sorry Ted, that I only saw the following now in our internal documentation:

eXist must be installed underneathC:\exist-distributions, and the link to the currently used distribution must be atC:\exist-db.
Using longer directory names will result in failure to start eXist because of a Java classpath error: “error=206, The filename or extension is too long.”

As most people using Windows may use a preset default (which is 
C:\exist-db) most people don't encounter your problem. And as none of 
the core developers is on Windows, they would not think about fixing it, 
unless someone asks them politely (e.g. with an issue on GitHub and/or 
with some funding).

Best,
Pieter

     Hello Ted,

     I recommend placing eXist-db in the root directory, for example in 
"C:\eXist-db".

[Exist-open] Someone in this forum wanted more details about my computer.

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

I have a brand new Acer Swift 3 computer with the latest version of Windows
11 home edition installed.  I uninstalled Norton and installed PC Matic.  I
have two attachments in this e-mail.  The first shows my Java version.  I
was told it would work with eXist 6.2.  And yes, I have Java 6.2 (your
latest version) installed on my computer.  The other attachment shows the
error I received when I tried to run bin\startup.bat as an administrator.
I hope someone here can help me with all of this information.

Re: [Exist-open] I finally installed eXist....but....

[Patrick R. <pa...@re...>]

Hi Ted,

What version of eXist do you want to run first of all? Because depending 
on that version it may well be, that you need an other version of Java 
in order to run it.

Regards

Patrick

[Exist-open] When I opened eXist for the first time on my computer, I got an error.

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

Vincent Razanajao advised me to run the bin\startup.bat program through the
command line.  I tried to do this.  An error appeared.  I took a screenshot
of the error and I've included that screenshot in this e-mail.  I don't
know how to fix it.  Please assist me.

article.  So I didn't obtain very much useful information from the
stackflow article.

Unfortunately these kinds of comments don't let anyone help you. To get
correct help you need to provide exactly the steps to reproduce your
installation and problems in executing programs, and then the exact error
messages you receive.

Lots of people run eXist on Windows (I don't, but my colleagues do).

As it goes, most eXist help is now found on the eXist developer's Slack
community,
https://join.slack.com/t/exist-db/shared_invite/zt-89ukckoj-zbbC_V2QDIR5nGMokG9TQA
. You are likely to find more responsiveness there than this mailing list.

Re: [Exist-open] I finally installed eXist....but....

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

I tried to run the program as an administrator and it didn't work.  I tried
to run bin\startup as an administrator and it didn't work.  I couldn't
comprehend one word about the stackflow article.  Unless someone translates
that article for me, I guess this program can't work with Windows.  And
when I tried to use this program in Ubuntu Linux, it refused to use any
Java version except the 1.8 build.  So unless someone can help me with
that, I won't be able to use eXist.  And that's a real shame because 10
years ago l loved using eXist.  I even uploaded videos about it and bought
the book that you published about it.  I've tried to read the book but I
feel I would need an encyclopedia just to translate it.

[Pieter L. <pie...@be...>]

I think this is a bogus error. I think you may need to run it with 
administrator permissions  or something of the like.

Hi Ted,

I also had this issue with my brand new laptop running windows 11. 
Though it does not run existdb as a service, I managed to launch the 
server by executing /bin/statrtup.bat through the command line.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Vincent

[Exist-open] I finally installed eXist....but....

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

I finally figured out that my PC Matic program was blocking my eXist
database.  But when I tried to open eXist for the first time, I got an
error.  I don't know how to fix it.  I attached a photo of the error so you
could see it.

Re: [Exist-open] Java is blocked

[Ted H. <meg...@gm...>]

I typed java -version and I saw my java 11 version.  But it keeps saying to
allow java in the protection level menu.  I have no clue how to do this.
Can you assist me?

Re: [Exist-open] Java is blocked

[John R. <jr...@gm...>]

Go to CMD and type Java -version. If you see a version there, then you’re OK as far as that is concerned.

Hello Ted, I’m just a beginner, but did you set JAVA_HOME in your computers, environment variables under system with the absolute path to Java bin folder?
