Marklogic TDE columns with property values

I'm trying to find out if it is possible to put document properties into a var like last-modified and use them in a value.
However, nothing seems to be able to access the properties.
I am aware the xpath property expression doesn't work but I've been trying to use xdmp:document-properties which I think is supposed to work according to the documentation.
Has anyone tried something like this?

Solution

  • TDE are limited in which functions are available, and the context of what is accessible when indexing a particular fragment.

    You cannot extract index information from a properties fragment while a document fragment is being indexed.

    However, you can write a template that extracts index information from a properties fragment as it is being indexed, just like any other fragment.

    <template xmlns="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/tde">
  <path-namespaces>
    <path-namespace>
      <prefix>prop</prefix>
      <namespace-uri>http://marklogic.com/xdmp/property</namespace-uri>
    </path-namespace>
  </path-namespaces>
  <context>prop:properties</context>
  <rows>
    <row>
      <schema-name>Schema1</schema-name>
      <view-name>View1</view-name>
      <columns>
        <column>
          <name>modified</name>
          <scalar-type>dateTime</scalar-type>
          <val>last-modified</val>
        </column>
      </columns>
    </row>
  </rows>
</template>
