[oXygen-user] BaseX Support in oXygen?

[Alex Jitianu]

Hi Hannes,

First of all make sure that the BaseX HTTP Server is started. 
Information about how to start it can be found here:
     http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Startup#BaseX_HTTP_Server

The configuration file for the HTTP server is named ".basex" and is 
found in the BaseX installation dir. This might help finding out the 
port on which the HTTP server is running. The default port for BaseX 
WebDAV is 8984.

To check if everything is O.K. you can use an WebDAV URL inside a 
browser. Something like the example below. The example gets an document 
from a database named TEST:

         http://localhost:8984/webdav/TEST/etc/factbook.xml

Once you are sure that the BaseX WebDAV is working you can configure the 
an WebDAV connection in Oxygen through the steps from the link. The 
WebDAV URL should look something like 
http://localhost:{port}/webdav/{database_name}. Like I said, the default 
port for BaseX WebDAV is 8984.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any problems.

Best regards,
Alex

While I cannot find any reference to "BaseX" in the dialog windows of oXygen, I have found some information in the BaseX documentation, describing how to open documents via WebDAV or execute queries via XQuery (http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Integrating_oXygen). But those two variants don't seem to complement each other.
