How to call a custom xquery function in exist-db using the REST API ? Is it possible to have more than 1 function in the xquery file ?
declare function local:toto() as node() {
return doc("/db/ProjetXML/alice.xml")/raweb/identification/projectName)
};
declare function local:pomme() as node() {
return doc("/db/ProjetXML/carmen.xml")/raweb/identification/projectSize);
};
If I call it using :
http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/ProjetXML/orange.xqy?_query=local:toto()
I get the following error :
err:XPST0017 Call to undeclared function: local:toto [at line 1, column 1, source: local:toto()]
Your help is appreciated.

You have syntax errors in your XQuery:
local:toto()
. Each function must have a distinct name.}
should be };
.return
expression, as there is no preceding binding.Another option would be to parameterize the input file, e.g.:
import module namespace request="http://exist-db.org/xquery/request";
declare function local:toto($name as xs:string) as node() {
let $doc :=
if($name eq "carmen")then
doc("/db/ProjetXML/carmen.xml")
else
doc("/db/ProjetXML/alice.xml")
return
$doc/raweb/identification/projectName);
};
local:toto(request:get-parameter("name", "alice"))
You can then call this via the REST Server using a URL like:
http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/ProjetXML/orange.xqy?name=carmen
