[oXygen-user] BaseX Support in oXygen?

[Hannes Bauer]

Hi Alex,

thanks for the detailed walkthrough! I finally managed to get it running. The BaseX HTTP Server was already working as expected, but I didn't know how to connect to WebDAV (I also found http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Integrating_oXygen , but this didn't cover how to create a WebDAV Data Source).

I found out that you can simply specify the webdav root:

  http://localhost:8984/webdav/

This way, you'll be able to address all databases in BaseX.

Did you already think about including a BaseX default configuration in the dialog windows of oXygen? This may help users like me to get it all up and running.

All the best,
Hannes

PS: Need to tell you.. oXygen has always been my favorite XML editor; I'm advertising your product whenever I get the chance to do so!

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.
