abx:getCatalogResource(location)

Returns the document containing the resource content. The location is the string containing the catalog location URL. The example below returns the element or document that was stored using

putCatalogResource()

, by the location. You can use this function in a copy operation to assign the element back to a variable, for example.

If the request header uses

application/json

or the resources ends with

.tojson

(for example,

/avccatalog/project:/path/mydoc.xml.tojson

), you do not have to write a process to proxy the request if the endpoint is

/avccatalog

. Also, if the request header has

application/json

, you do not have to write a proxy if the endpoint is

/catalog

Example:

abx:getCatalogResource("project:/myProject/resources/resource.xml")

In a copy operation, an example of copying From this function (to a variable) is as follows. Note that the expression language is XQuery.

<ns1:catalogEntry xmlns:ns1='http://activevos/samples/catalog/functions'>
  <ns1:catalogLocation>
    <ns1:location>{data( 
     $requestOperation.catalogOp/
     ns1:catalogLocation/ns1:location )
    }</ns1:location>
    <ns1:typeURI>{data( $requestOperation.catalogOp/
       ns1:catalogLocation/ns1:typeURI )}</ns1:typeURI>
  </ns1:catalogLocation>
  <ns1:content>{abx:getCatalogResource( data(
     $requestOperation.catalogOp/ns1:
     catalogLocation/ns1:location))}</ns1:content>
</ns1:catalogEntry>
