NetKernel Foundation API

req=context.createSubRequest("active:dbxmlQuery");
req.addArgument("operator", [resource representation, aspect, or URI] );
result=context.issueSubRequest(req);

Purpose

The dbxmlQuery accessor performs an XQuery on the Berkeley DBXML database. The response is a BDBXMLResultAspect - if the result set contains a single well-formed document then it can be automatically transrepted and used by any XML tool.

Operator Format

The format for the operator is...

<dbxml>
  <container>someContainerName</container>
  <xquery>
        ...Must be a CDATA Section containing XQuery...
    </xquery>
</dbxml>

The container tag specifies the identity of the container in the BDBXML database to query. For details of the XQuery syntax see the references below.
