You have written an application or a service using MarkLogic Server
that relies on cts:reference items, for example
cts:element-reference. You would like to serialize these items as XML,
and perhaps store these items in a database document.
You can easily turn the cts:reference item into XML.
But as of MarkLogic 6, there is no easy way to turn the XML into an item.
This library can help.
MarkLogic 6 or newer. Earlier versions do not support lexicon references.
import module namespace cr="com.blakeley.cts-reference"
at "/path/to/cts-reference.xqy";
cr:reference($xml-node)
At this time cts-reference does not support the following reference types:
- cts:geospatial-attribute-pair-reference
- cts:geospatial-element-child-reference
- cts:geospatial-element-pair-reference
- cts:geospatial-element-reference
- cts:path-reference
These may be added in a future release, or when someone supplies a patch.
The cts-reference test cases use XQUT. Note that these test cases change the database configuration and may trigger refragmenting or reindexing. For best results use an empty database.
If you find problems, please file an issue and provide a test case. Patches are welcome, especially in the form of pull requests.
