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. Am I missing a more direct way? --Gary Kopp
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-xque... https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/23.1/ug-editor/topics/editor-variable...

Hi, Both the results and/or output of an Oxygen transformation are designed to be saved locally. So, no, there is no way to configure an Oxygen transformation scenario to output the result to a remote location (this includes an eXist-db database). One trick you can use, if you have WebDAV enabled on your eXist-db server, is to mount the WebDAV repository as a network drive (or as a folder for Linux/macOS) and configure Oxygen to output to that mounted location (as if it was local).

Thanks Adrian. Defining eXist WebDAV as a network drive is a great option, and I'm embarrassed that I didn't think of that - it's pretty obvious. If I want to take this to the next step (more automation), do you know if transformation output/results are API-accessible using the oXygen SDK? --Gary From: oXygen-user <oxygen-user-bounces@oxygenxml.com> On Behalf Of Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza) Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2021 7:36 AM To: oxygen-user@oxygenxml.com Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] Save via WebDAV Hi, Both the results and/or output of an Oxygen transformation are designed to be saved locally.

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.
