Edgar,

Note that xdmp:directory-properties() does not return the properties of a directory. Instead, that function returns the properties of the documents in a directory. See http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/3.2/apidocs/Extension.html#directory-properties - "Returns a sequence of properties documents, one for each document in the specified directory that has a corresponding properties document."

The Developer's Guide has more information about properties.

You might create a metadata document in each directory, using a well-known URI and element-root (and possibly a collection). You might also set the desired property on document(s) in your directory, and use xdmp:directory-properties() to query for it.

Hi All,

I have a directory-stucture with a tree consisting of Magazine Titles,
containing Volumes, containing Issues, containing Articles (an article
is an xml-file)
All the Issues have a publicationDate that is identical for all Articles
in that Issue.

I have seen that directories can have properties as well.

xdmp:directory-properties( $uri as xs:string, [$depth as xs:string] ) as
document-node()*

My question: can I also set a directory-property?

I would like to add a <publicationDate>YYYY-MM-DD</publicationDate> to
the Issue-folder

Regards
EdgarS
