Hi Chris, Thank you - I am out of the office tomorrow so will set it up on Thursday. Regards Peter Hi Peter   Assuming you are using a relatively new version of exist (either the snapshot or current subversion checkout) and you only want direct access (no XML-RPC or other fancy network stuff) Here is what you have to do:   Copy the following jars to cocoons WEB-INF/lib directory: exist/exist.jar exist/exist-optional.jar exist/lib/core/antlr.jar exist/lib/core/commons-pool-1.2.jar exist/lib/core/xmldb.jar exist/lib/core/xmlrpc-1.2-patched.jar   Add the following to the Generators section of the sitemap: <map:generator name="xquery" src=""EN-GB"> org.exist.cocoon.XQueryGenerator "/>   Add the following to your cocoon.xconf: inside the the org.apache.cocoon.components.source.impl.XMLDBSourceFactory configuration (there should be a xindice driver configured) <driver class=" org.exist.xmldb.DatabaseImpl" type="exist"/> I would recommend removing the unused driver, because I remember cocoon trying to initialize the driver, but because of a missing Xindice cocoon gets an error and skips the following drivers. This should result in the xmldb:exist pseudo protocol being accessible.   To start the server, add the following to the cocoon.xconf: <component role=" org.exist.server" class="de.cware.cweb.system.xmldb.XmlDbServerImpl" home="C:/home/domains" suffix="data/xmldb" minBrokers="1" maxBrokers="5"/> Well I have to admit, that I created my own Server component for starting the db itself inside cocoon … think you will have to have a look for code looking like: BrokerPool.configure(“exist”, minBrokers, maxBrokers, config);   This is where initializing the BorkerPool for the instance is initialted. Couldn’t fin exactly which class is needed for this. If you don’t manage to find it, I can send you mine, but that is made for initializing multiple Database Instances automatically (one per virtual hosts) but It would be suitable for a start J   Last not least, you have to place the exist config.file in the WEB-INF/classes directory, so it can be found by the Configuration … think you can place it in WEB-INF/ directly, but I always use the classpath access path.   Hope this helps you and I didn’t miss anything (not using the original DB server and Drivers anymore)   Regards,     Chris   Von: Peter Sparkes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 6.

Where can I find  the best documentation  on how to install eXist xmldb into cocoon. There are several such docs on the web but all the ones I have found are old and they mention eXist jars which are not in the latest eXist distribution. 2. Where can I find documentation on the "xmldb:// pseudo-protocol" other than the apidocs and hoe to use it Thanks Peter Sparkes
