how to manually remove corrupt resources

Trying to delete a resource via API or via REST and am failing with an
NPE coming from (final cause):
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.exist.storage.NativeBroker.removeXMLResource(NativeBroker.java:2255)

Unfortunately this resource lives at the root of the db, which means
that describeResource is also failing when attempting to use the GUI
client (and consequently kills it). What approach should I take to
manually remove this resource?

Thanks,
-Russ-

Problem with Multibyte Unicode

When I PUT an XML document to the db (in 1.4.2) with `Content-type:
application/x-myxml+xml; charset=UTF-8` in the headers and `<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>` as the prolog, with this
double-byte-character content:

<title xml:lang="ru">Добро пожаловать</title>

(Note in case this doesn't display correctly: text is Russian for "welcome")

it comes back as:

<title xml:lang="ru">–î–æ–±—Ä–æ –ø–æ–∂–∞–ª–æ–≤–∞—Ç—å</title>

(Note: actual garbage characters)

I've tried this with the Poster Firefox extension and with the Eclipse
plugin (Eclipse is set to UTF-8). Any idea why this is happening?

problem running eXist 2.1 on Mac OS 10.7

I'm having problems getting eXist to start on a current Mac. Any other 
people using Macs that have had similar problems?

I am successfully running an eXist instance on
a Mac running OS 10.7.4
java version 1.6.0_31
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-11M3635)
apache tomcat 7.0.21
eXist 1.5.0

I tried downloading and running exist-2.1-dev-rev16458 and am unable to.
The catalina log says
"org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext startInternal
SEVERE: Error filterStart"
If I use the tomcat manager to start exist 2.1 I get
"FAIL - Application at context path /exist21 could not be started"
and the same error in the catalina log

I installed a newer version of tomcat (7.0.27) on that same computer and 
got the same results when I tried to launch eXist 1.5 (worked) and eXist 
2.1 (failed), so I don't think that's the issue.

I then went to a Mac running OS 10.6.8
java version 1.6.0_31
JRE build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-10M3646
apache tomcat 7.0.27

I tried to run exist-2.1-dev-rev16458 and that worked, so it appears to 
be an issue with the JRE or (less likely) the OS on the first Mac.

HTTP 411 error using HTTP Client module (does it set Content-lenght header) ?

Hi,

I am trying to call a SOAP service (Paypal, using "post") with the send-request() method of the HTTP Client
module in eXist, taking inspiration from this example [1]. However the result is that I get a "411 Length
Required" error. Note that the request endpoint is an HTTPS endpoint ("https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/").

Here is the beginning of the $req object that I send using http:send-request($req) :

<http:request href="https://api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com/2.0/" method="post">
   <http:header name="SOAPAction" value="SetExpressCheckout"/>
   <http:body media-type="text/xml">
   ...

Note that if I try to manually set a Content-length by adding a header to the request with an arbitrary value:

   <http:header name="Content-length" value="1000"/>

Then I get an exception from the HTTP Client module :

Error found
Error executing the HTTP method
Java Stack Trace:Class Name	Method Name	File Name	Line
org.expath.exist.SendRequestFunction	sendRequest	SendRequestFunction.java	150

So I would like to know if the http:send-request method sets the Content-lenght header, and if not how to set
it manually ?

Note that to import the HTTP Client module with eXist 1.4.1-rev15155, I had to comment the following lines
in 'conf.xml' (taking ideas from this thread [2]), since otherwise XQuery throws an exception. I guess
eXist 1.4.2. does not fix the problem either, since it still contains the old "http-client.xqm" module

I had been using IzPack 4.3.1, and I also tried IzPack 4.3.5. For both,

HTTPclient fetching json

I'm using the httpclient module to fecth json content. I notice that it throws
an exception when it tries to parse the body of the response as XML.  I see a
variant of the HTTPclient:get () with additional parser options but no
indication of what those options might be.  Can they be used to skip the parsing
and return as base64? Even better if it could return JSON rather than me doing a
hack parse.

Alternatively would the EXPath HTTP client module handle fetching JSON?

GML indexing sample availability

Hi,

I saw the GML indexing sample as a use case for custom indexing for
eXist-db on the documentation page here:
http://www.exist-db.org/exist/devguide_indexes.xml#spatial

I wonder if this sample is available as a whole, so it would be easy to
try it out?

Best regards,

Akos

MVC: how to pass requests through multiple XQuery and XSLT views

Hi,

I am struggling with my understanding of some URL rewriting concepts, 
more specifically the passing of requests through multiple 'views' via 
request attributes (see documentation at 
<http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/urlrewrite.xml#d48607e633>). Any advice 
or clarification is much appreciated.

I would like to check if following interpretation of that documentation 
is correct:
     -If I understand the docs correctly, performance is best when 
request data is passed over different views via request attributes, as 
opposed to via the response body?
     -The docs state that "XSLTServlet will always write to the HTTP 
response". Does this imply that:
         -passing request data via request attributes is only possible 
between 2 XQueryServlet views, or from a XQueryServlet to an XSLTServlet 
view
         -passing request data from a XSLTServlet view to a 
XQueryServlet view is only possible via the http response
     ?

Building on the examples in the documentation, I wanted to test what 
happens when multiple views are applied to a request, especially what 
this means for the interaction of subsequent XQueryServlet and 
XSTLServlet steps. Therefore, I've created a sample app (attached) that 
applies several XSLT and XQuery steps to the output of an XQuery script. 
Those scripts just copy their input and wrap it in a new root element, 
indicating the step in the pipe. Expected output for 
http://localhost:8080/exist/testMVC/start.xql is:

Bug? xqdoc module validates in documentation sections...

atom format not read by feedreaders

Hi,

To my amazement some feed readers won't parse <atom:entry
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> but only <entry
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">. Could the format of the atom
module be updated please?

Thanks.
