Mark Logic Module

Connectivity to a Mark Logic server is supported with an extension module.

Mark Logic support is via an Extension Module. It must be downloaded separately from xmlsh and added to the classpath in order to run.

Download

Mark Logic extension module is on sourceforge in the marklogic_ext package under xmlsh.
Dowload the latest binary from marklogic_ext package

You also need the "xcc.jar" file from Mark Logic Developer Page (the Java XCC Distribution)

Dependancies

The current MarkLogic extension requires xmlsh version 1.0.0.1 or greater.

Importing

Import the marklogic extension in xmlsh with an "import module" statement.
The module can be found using the XMODPATH variable or explicitly by specifying the module.xml file

Copy the files (marklogic_ext.jar, xcc.jar, module.xml) to a directory named "marklogic" as a sub-directory of any path in the XMODPATH directory.
Then import the module using the "import module" command

Assuming you put the marklogic files in the directory /usr/local/xmlsh/ext/marklogic

   XMODPATH=/usr/local/xmlsh/ext
   import module ml=marklogic

Configuring

To run Mark Logic commands you need to configure the connection information to access your Mark Logic server. All the Mark Logic commands require an environment variable, MLCONNECT to specify the connection. The format is the URI used by the XCC API.

xcc://user:password@host:port/Database

Note: the Port is the port number of an XDBC "Host" defined on the Mark Logic server.

Example

$ MLCONNECT=xcc://me:password@server:8003/Test

Instead of using an environment variable, you can also pass in the connection URI as a command argument using -c or -connect

Example

ml:query -c xcc://me:password@server:8003/Test -q "'Hello World'"

Running

Your now ready to run Mark Logic commands from within xmlsh.

The following commands are supported
