Re: FW: Configuring an XML:DB database
What about the Configurable interface? Database extends this
interface. What do you mean by a very good support?
More about the subject:
If you have a Configurable interface, you still need to trigger the
initialization (after all configurations are done).
One possibility is to do it in the getCollection method:
public Collection getCollection() {
if (!initialized) {
... initialize the system ...
initialized = true;
}
}
The problem with this approach is the potential delay between the
configuration and the actual intialization and the feedback you may receive.
If you set up your system and for example the database's location is
unreacheable, when would you like to receive the notification? when you
start your server or when a user call the getCollection method,
potentially hours after you started the server?
Both alternatives are justifiable and I think that the API should
provide a way to implement them both (i.e. introduce an 'init' method to
initialize the system).

Wolfgang can you send an example of usage to the mailing list so that every interested developer can read/understand your intention to introduce an configure() method!?

Currently the API does not provide a very good support for this IMHO. If we could add a configure method to a Database instance that takes a DOM document as a parameter it would provide good flexibility for this. What do think about adding something like configure(org.w3c.dom.Document configuration); to the org.xmldb.api.base.Database interface? +1 from one of the Xindice guys Other opinions?
