[MarkLogic Dev General] Links to Images in XML

Mon Feb 12 00:02:10 PST 2007

Richa,

Running a doc on an image will return the binary file. Are you using
xquery for presentation layer? 

if you are using xquery for presentation layer, then you could send an
instruction to browser to fetch image using the image/src tag which
point to a simple xquery and passes uri (see attached). A simple example
is below:

<html>
<body>
This is a link an image <image src="/get-file.xqy?uri={$uri}"/>
</body>
</html>

If you have an application based presentation layer (jsp/asp etc), then
you would need a jsp page instead of xqy which would server the image,
however you would need to call a function via using XCC and fetch a
binary doc/return it.

Hi,

We have links to certain images in our XML files. 
Through querying I want these images to be displayed on the page. How to
achieve the same using XQuery?

Any suggestion will be helpful.

Regards,
