Any plans to support BinaryResources in Xindice?
We're looking at using Xindice for storing our data files, but we still have some files that aren't XML. I saw one message that suggested BinaryResources would be added in version 2. If so, is there any target release date for version 2?
The underlying file system supports binary resources, and has since the very beginning, they just aren't exposed via the Collection interface or the XML:DB APIs. If you had direct access to the Filer (via Collection) you could do binary storage and retrieval. This can be accomplished by using an XMLObject or by embedding the software into your application and driving it manually.
