Re: [oXygen-user] Save via WebDAV
Hi Gary, Adrian asked me to help you further. I'm afraid using our Java APIs from a plugin we do not have control to allow a third party plugin to control where and how a resource is saved. Maybe you can also look at other options Exist has for uploading content to their database: http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/uploading-files.xml like the section about "Uploading files with XQuery". Or ask around on the Exist list, maybe there are ways to set this up on the server side instead of using Oxygen to drive the transformation.

Re: [oXygen-user] Save via WebDAV
Hi, first of all please keep in mind that I’m a newbie and I’m using oXygen for editing ebooks, not for its more advanced features related to XML, XQuery etc. But I did find an answer which might apply to you. In short, you need to ignore the results window, and edit the XQuery transformation scenario instead so that it outputs to a file (Save as in the Output tab), making sure to use the proper Editor Variables for the db path. Until someone more knowledgeable chips in, check these out and see if they help: https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic9914.html https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/output-xml-xquery.html https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/editor-variables.html All the best, Cătălin On Mon, Apr 12, 2021 at 12:01 AM Gary Kopp wrote: > I must be missing something … this is too complicated.

[oXygen-user] Save via WebDAV
I must be missing something . this is too complicated. I'm using oXygen with eXist-db. All I want to do is save the results of an XQuery query to the eXist database as a new document in a direct a way as possible. Saving the results from the results window only seems to support the local filesystem. I can jump through a few hoops and get the results transferred to an editing window where I can "Save to URI" and ultimately get it sent out via WebDAV, but the dialogs for that are ridiculously convoluted IMO.
