Hi,

I am a newbiw in using Tamino. So pls bear with me if the question looks stupid.

I have written a java program to try retrieving records from Tamino,
but when printing out the value of the XMLObject, the ino:id (from xmlObject.getId()) is empty,
- but I can retrieve the other element values
- can view the ino:id value using the Tamino Explorer

Urgent help needed. Thanks.



The code segments are follow:

===========================================================================

There is nothing particularly wrong with your program. The problem is somewhere else. Your query:
String query = “for $q in input()/Car where $q/ownerID=495 return $q”;
is an XQuery query. Tamino does not return the ino:id in documents queried with an XQuery query. The XPlorer uses an X-Query query to retrive the document and in that case the ino:id is returned within the document.

So you have two options:
1. Use X-Query to retrieve the documents
2. Use XQuery and use the function tf:getInoId to retrieve the ino:id with the result.

Please check the Tamino XML Server online documentation for the differences between XQuery and X-Query and for the usage of the tf:getInoId function.

Thanks!
