We would like to hear about your experiences and suggestions for Java-friendly XML databases.
At a recent committer meeting we discussed the status of FeSL AuthZ and identified one issue in particular that needs attention before we can really move to deprecate Fedora's old AuthZ implementation - FeSL AuthZ requires Oracle Berkeley DBXML to run. This is a non-Java software library which must be separately downloaded and compiled (if non-Windows), which can be a lengthly process; and in cases there are issues with dependencies on other libraries. We would therefore like to implement a pure Java solution for the default FeSL PolicyIndex - FCREPO-576. Preferably one that can be "embedded" directly within Fedora or can be run as a separate web application in the same container. For this we would like your help: your knowledge and experiences of Java-based XML databases. Factors that we are interested in learning about are: - ease of integration (both as "embedded" or as a standalone web application) - standard APIs - stability - scalability - performance - and anything else you think is relevant We have identified a couple of active open-source candidates at this stage - - eXist http://exist.sourceforge.net/ - BaseX http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/ We'd be keen to learn of any other suggestions. We would be looking for a database that is license-compatible with Fedora. This work won't preclude continuing using Berkeley DB XML, or indeed implementing adapters/connectors for other XML databases in the future. Please reply either directly to the list, or add comments to FCREPO-576 - thanks to those who have already added information and experiences about XML databases to this JIRA issue.
