[basex-talk] Re: Add namespace bindings via copy/modify/return

Mon, 04 Aug 2025 04:10:23 -0700 

 Thank you, Christian! The problem is that this way I lose the base URI! The 
only way how to retain it which I am aware of would be the insertion of 
@xml:base, but this amounts to a change of the document I may not be authorized 
to do by the context. 
Is there any way how to change a document (as modified copy, not via 
copy/modify/return) and retain or control the base URI of the result, without 
inserting @xml:base?
Kind regards,Hans-Jürgen

The insertion of namespace nodes has not been defined in the XQuery Update 
spec. You may need choose the classic element constructor for that:
let $doc := <doc><a/></doc>return element { node-name($doc) } {  $doc/@*,  
namespace xyz { 'https://basex.org/ns' },  $doc/node()}
Hope this helps,ChristianVon: Hans-Juergen Rennau via BaseX-Talk

Betreff: [basex-talk] Add namespace bindings via copy/modify/return Dear BaseX 
people,
I cannot use copy/modify/return in order to add a namespacing:
let $doc := <doc><a/></doc>return    copy $doc_ := $doc    modify      insert 
node namespace xyz {'https://basex.org/ns'} into $doc_    return $doc_
=><doc>  <a/></doc>
Is this a bug?
Kind regards,Hans-Jürgen
