Hello all,
I've been working on a problem for quite a while now and I would greatly
appreciate any insight. I'm using 1.1 b1 with the embed driver with jdk
1.4.1.
Essentially, I have one class that queries the database. It instantiates
it as such (exception handling removed):
Collection sc = null;
Database maindb = null;
String driver =
"org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.embed.DatabaseImpl";
Class c = Class.forName(driver);
maindb = (Database) c.newInstance();
DatabaseManager.registerDatabase(maindb);
sc =
DatabaseManager.getCollection("xmldb:xindice-embed:///db/"+[collection_name]);
I have many threads trying to do this at once, and then querying it with
something like sc.listResources();.
Howevever, if one set of threads is using one collection, and another set
of threads is using another, they conflict and I keep getting a
NullPointerException. Do I need to make some sort of mutex locking to
ensure that only one collection is open at once? I was under the
impression that this wasn't so, but it appears otherwise. Thank you for
your advice.
Kind regards,
David
