Net::MarkLogic::XDBC - XDBC connectivity for MarkLogic CIS servers.

  use Net::MarkLogic::XDBC

  $xdbc = Net::MarkLogic::XDBC->new( "user:pass@localhost:9000" );

  $xdbc = Net::MarkLogic::XDBC->new(host     => $host,
                                    port     => $port,
                                    username => $user,
                                    password => $pass, );

  $result = $agent->query($xquery);

  print $result->content;

  @items = $result->items;
  print $item->content;

Alpha. API will change.

Connect to a CIS XDBC server and execute xquery code.

  $xdbc = Net::MarkLogic::XDBC->new( "user:pass@localhost:9000" );

  $xdbc = Net::MarkLogic::XDBC->new( host     => $hostname,
                                     port     => $port,
                                     username => $user,
                                     password => $pass, );

Connect using a connection string or named host, port, username, and password parameters. =cut

sub new { my $class = shift;

    my %args;

    if (scalar @_ == 1)
    {
        $_[0] =~ m/
            ^  ([^:]+)    # username 
            :  ([^\s\@]+) # password
            \@ ([\w\-\.]+)  # hostname
            :  (\d+) $    # port
        /x or die "Bad connection string: $_[0]";

        $args{username} = $1;
        $args{password} = $2;
        $args{host}     = $3;
        $args{port}     = $4;
    }
    else { %args = @_; }

    foreach my $key (@REQUIRED_FIELDS) {
        die "Invalid connection info. Missing $key." unless $args{$key};
    }

    my $self = bless ({}, ref ($class) || $class);

    $self->host($args{host});
    $self->port($args{port});
    $self->username($args{username});
    $self->password($args{password});

    return ($self);
}

    $result = $xdbc->query($xquery);

Execute XQUERY code on XDBC server.

    $result = $xdbc->query_from_template($template, $args);

Generate XQUERY code from a template toolkit template and arguments, then execute on XDBC server.

This might be overkill, but it's definitely a feature you're not going to find in the Java API.

These methods function as setter/getters for the objects attributes.

$get = $xdbc->foo(); $xdbc->foo($set);

These shouldn't be important unless you need to finetune the behavior or tweak the settings.

LWP::UserAgent, just in case anyone needs to tweak settings.

HTTP::Headers, sent on every request to the XDBC server.

Name or IP address of the XDBC server host.

Port number of XDBC server.

User used for authentication.

Password used for authentication.

Set a custom URI to connect to the XDBC server. Default connection go to "http://$host:$port/eval".

Big time. Watch out for changing APIs.
