This is the repository for entity services, a feature in MarkLogic 9. Its code is shipped with MarkLogic server, but this repository is used for testing the feature, and also contains examples code.

• See entity-services-examples for how to use Entity Services.

It contains several sub-projects configured to build with gradle.

• one public API server module written in XQuery, several implementation modules. This code is shipped with the server. Unit tests are here under entity-services.

• functional tests in entity-services-functionaltests

• end-to-end scenario tests in entity-services-e2e

To develop with this project, you'll need

• to clone this repository

Once you have cloned this repository, you'll use this code by making a symbolic link from either:

• A checkout of MarkLogic Server trunk svn

or

• A built and installed current nightly MarkLogic package. If you've used this method, remove or rename the entity-services directory at /opt/MarkLogic/Modules/MarkLogic/entity-services (on windows it's something like C:\Program Files\MarkLogic\Modules\MarkLogic)

For either method of server development, you'll need to symbolically link

./entity-services/src/main/xdmp/entity-services

to

{MarkLogicdirectory}/Modules/MarkLogic/entity-services

Now, when you import and use entity services code, it will be the copy served from this local checkout.

To set up a server for running tests,

./gradlew mlDeploy from this directory (/entity-services)

This command takes the configuration at gradle.properties and creates forests, databases and servers for running the tests. It also sets up a separate database and server for examples.
