Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: How to enable requests:get-path-info()?

Hi Bernie,

Your RESTXQ-annotated functions need to go into an XQuery library module,
and your eXist instance has to have the RESTXQ trigger enabled on the
collection where you store the library module (but it's enabled by default
in /db/system/config/db/collection.xconf - the source being at
https://github.com/eXist-db/exist/blob/develop/exist-distribution/src/main/config/collection.xconf.init
- so you only need to take action if you've disabled this or your library
module is in a collection hierarchy with its own collection.xconf).

The best reference for RESTXQ and eXist is Erik Siegel and Adam Retter's
2015 O'Reilly book on eXist-db, pp. 215-227 (
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1449337104). If you don't have that you might
find Adam's presentation at
https://www.adamretter.org.uk/presentations/restxq_mugl_20120308.pdf
useful. The best online RESTXQ reference -
https://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ - isn't eXist-specific and in fact may
contain some BaseX-specific information that doesn't apply to eXist's
implementation. See also the links at the bottom of that page:
https://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ#References.
