[MarkLogic Dev General] Creating file system directories with XQuery...

[Keith Breinholt]

Is it possible to create a directory on the file system from XQuery?

I'm having issues trying to copy/deploy XQuery modules from a zip file and saving it into the modules "database" when the modules database is set to 'filesystem'.

Specifically, the xdmp:save() function does not auto-create directories like it does for a database, and xdmp:directory-create() does not create directories on the file system either.  In fact xdmp:directory-create() doesn't throw an error when it fails...it just returns as if it succeeded.  (Is this a bug?)

If I point my modules to 'filesystem' is there any way of creating a directory or am I stuck calling out to java or C#.
