I’ve begun working on a Demo Catalog application recently that has a few purposes. My immediate purpose is to make our demos easier for our sales engineers to describe, find, comment on, and file bugs and RFEs against. If others find the app helpful as it develops, that’s great. But this project is also going […]
During a recent working session, a question came up about how to quickly find all the values in one sequence that aren’t in another. A little poking around the web turns up what seems to be the standard approach: I found that approach in a couple places, including functx’s implementation. If I’m thinking about it right, […]
This post covers a technique that’s an oldie but a goodie, with some thoughts on how it applies with today’s MarkLogic features. I reviewed this with my team recently and we thought it would make a good reference. The post will cover both some available implementations and the raw technique itself, and when to use […]
I just got my first taste of one of the new features in MarkLogic 7: the ability to do partial document updates through the built-in REST API. It made me happy. You may be aware that the REST API was introduced in MarkLogic 6. That version handles search and full-document CRUD operations. However, if you […]
Over the last week, I conducted a survey of how people use the Roxy framework. I got 34 responses. Let’s see what people said. Note that multiple answers were allowed to the first four questions (Roxy Components, MarkLogic Versions, Roxy Application Types, Architectures). Amazon Gift Card I’ll start with the results of the last question: […]
Suppose you’ve built an application using MarkLogic’s Visualization Widgets. At some point you decide you have too many and decide to remove one. I’ve seen a couple cases where someone does an incomplete removal, so I figured it’s worth laying out the steps. This write-up assumes that you’ve built an application using Application Builder, but […]
For those who didn’t see my email announcement or Tweet, I’m conducting a 5-question survey of how people use Roxy with MarkLogic. Your responses will help me focus future development work on the types of features that will help the most people. So far I have 26 responses and have already seen some interesting results. […]
I just went through the exercise of figuring out what’s needed to change the default page when building an application with MarkLogic’s REST API. Time to share. Built-in Default Suppose you have an HTTP application server configured to use the REST API (for instance, by generating a Roxy application with –app-type=rest). The URL rewriter field […]
I just sent this out to the Roxy mailing list. Hello all, I’m happy to announce Roxy 1.4 has just moved up to the master branch. That means lots of new features when you create a new project, without having to specify the dev branch. $ ml new my-app –server-version=6 –app-type=hybrid Roxy 1.4 added several […]
On a few different people’s recommendations, I’ve been looking at AngularJS lately. Something I ran into early was the expectation that you use HTML5, which is generally not valid XML (meta and link elements aren’t closed, and AngularJS uses some valueless directives, like <body ng-app>). MarkLogic also gets confused by the {{ }} binding markers […]
