Re: [basex-talk] Reloading jars on a running http server.
Hi Reece, If you install your Java code as JAR file in the repository [1], the code will be loaded and unloaded every time when your query is executed. If you get an error message… java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field private final jdk.internal.loader.URLClassPath java.net.URLClassLoader.ucp accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.net" to unnamed module @79e2c065 …unloading fails [2], as you’re probably using a more recent version of the JDK, which restricts reflective access to internal variables. You can get around this by adding Java flags at startup time: --add-opens java.base/java.net=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.loader=ALL-UNNAMED Maybe there are better solutions to unload JAR files today. Suggestions are welcome! Hope this helps, Christian [1] https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Repository#Java [2] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/blob/master/basex-core/src/main/java/org/basex/util/JarLoader.java#L34 On Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 6:44 PM Reece Dunn wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm working on a Java class that I'm importing into an XQuery, so I can do > additional processing on the data that isn't easily expressible in XQuery (or > XSLT).

Re: [basex-talk] Using other Java runtimes?
I've also used Zulu with BaseX (Java 14 and 16) successfully. Note that Zulu is a /distribution/ of OpenJDK much the way Ubuntu is distribution of Linux. I've also used Adopt OpenJDK on some machines and have never had any problems with either. If you are working in a corporate setting, you may find the fact that you can buy support for these distributions may help with red tape issues.

On Linux I use the built in JDK. Tried Zulu Community on Linux as container for some legacy Java that had to be run or built with some of the older versions 8 and before. Never had any problems. It seems BaseX is a software that doesn't use anything only Oracle has in their distribution. I start to forget about Oracle as primary source of Java. Any OpenJDK is good these days I think. I hope that is what they intended to achieve.

I see Oracle is aggressively monetizing the Java runtime, but I know there are alternatives out there. Have any been tested with BaseX?

[basex-talk] BaseX and Oxygen scenario
Hi, am I right in assuming that in order to use the XQJ interface as described here (https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Integrating_oXygen) , you will always need a running local database instance of BaseX? I am not able to use the BaseX.jar standalone in a transformation scenario as I would for example do in a custom ant scenario where I can use BaseX as a standalone transformer (using it as a commandline process). Thanks, Daniel
