Hi
a few weeks ago I played with the possibility to run Xindice embedded.
Here is my aproach, if you like:
(I learnd from org.apache.xindice.server.Xindice and
org.apache.xindice.server.Kernel)
make sure your CLASSPATH contains following jars and the dot:
openorb-1.2.0.jar:xalan-2.0.1.jar:xindice.jar:xerces.jar:.
compile it, using:
javac runXindice.java
copy the dir $XINDICE_HOME/config to your actual directory, create the
dirs 'docs' and 'logs' and set the env-variable 'xindice.home' to the
location where your Xindice home is and then start the runXindice-class:
java -Dxindice.home="/home/goetzger/work/java/runXindice" runXindice
If you want access to your previously created and filled database copy the
db directory to your actual working directory as well before starting
Xindice.
The code is ocated in the attachment. Have fun
regards
Heinrich
