Christian,
Querying all files, the way it's in the thread is done by "querying
all the files". My understanding is through iterating over each file
and loading it, then filtering them.
I am sorry, but I think I used the wrong words. I think I got what I
wanted from using the db model. For others facing the same problem,
here's what I did:
declare %rest:path("repo/articles")
%rest:GET
function page:list-articles(){
<articles>
{
let $db := db:open('repo')
for $a in $db/article
return <article
count="{count($db/article)}">{$a//title[1]}</article>
}
</articles>
} ;
