Query Tamino server with xql parameter in URL. Exclude nodes with specific child.
- by Anon
I have to query a Tamino database through HTTP.
http://example.com/db?DocumentType=publication&year=all
gives me a list of all publication in the database, something like:
<publication>
<title>
The first publications title
</title>
<author>
Author, M
</author>
<LastModification>
<year>
2008
</year>
<month>
05
</month>
</LastModification>
<year>
2006
</year>
</publication>
<publication>
<title>
The second publications title
</title>
<author>
Secauthor, M
</author>
<LastModification>
<year>
2005
</year>
<month>
01
</month>
</LastModification>
<year>
2000
</year>
</publication>
<publication>
<title>
Another publications title
</title>
<author>
Anauthor, M
</author>
<year>
2008
</year>
</publication>
(Simplified values)
There is a xql parameter that can be specified and that can be used to filter the output, so I can do:
http://example.com/db?DocumentType=publication&year=all&xql=LastModification/year~>2008
Which results in:
<publication>
<title>
The publications title
</title>
<author>
Author, M
</author>
<LastModification>
<year>
2008
</year>
<month>
05
</month>
</LastModification>
<year>
2006
</year>
</publication>
<publication>
<title>
Another publications title
</title>
<author>
Anauthor, M
</author>
<year>
2008
</year>
</publication>
There is very little documentation... I want to be able to first get all publications that have changed since the last update (and only those), and then in a second query all publications that do not have a <LastModification> tag.
