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: […]
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 […]
This post is an update to my earlier tutorial on how to use Roxy with MarkLogic‘s Application Builder. I finally wrapped up a feature that automates the process, so the procedure has changed. I’m working with: MarkLogic 6.0-3.1 (6.0-2+ required) Roxy 1.4 (see the version.txt file in the project’s base directory) Motivation Application Builder makes […]
This tutorial has been superseded by a more recent version, which makes the process easier. I’ve had a couple people ask me how to use Roxy with MarkLogic‘s Application Builder. The answer has changed recently, so I think it’s time to offer a tutorial. I’m writing this with: MarkLogic 6.0-2.3 Roxy 1.4 (see the version.txt file […]
I’ve gotten very accustomed to using the Roxy with my MarkLogic projects. However, with the new App Builder available with MarkLogic 6, some of my projects are based on JavaScript and the REST API. I still want to use the Roxy deployer, however. The simplicity of deploying configuration and code with a few simple commands […]
Update: I got some feedback on this post that amounted to “Wha???” Rereading it, I see that I really went into the esoteric for this one. After spending some time dealing with a very specific problem, I posted the solution, but it’s a problem you’re not very likely to encounter. If you do and you’re […]
