Title: Unable to run command

  Schramm, Mark,

 

          thanks for all your reply.

 

         Schramm, just like what you said: I didn't set JAVA_HOME properly. Now my Xindice is working! thanks a lot for your help. I kept thinking it's a command syntax problem. By the way, what you guys use Xindice for? Now I am using it to develop a prototype for a XML-Based online technical manual system. I intend to use Xindice as a manual repository and use Cocoon for converting XML into various format such as HTML , WML... .

 

Best regards

Xin Hong

I had similar problems last week as a newbie.   My case it turned out I didnt have my JAVA_HOME set correctly.  (see the windows installation doc for directions.)  My symptoms were identical,  I kept getting the usage message displayed with no specific error message - as if the command line wasnt being parsed correctly. I debugged by adding several 'echo' statements into the xindiceadmin.bat file to print to the screen what finaly gets set to java as the command, I was able to determine there that it was failing at the step of checking for that environment variable. (This bat file needs some work - known problem....) 

 

Hopefully this will get you further along towards running....

 

Once I could add documents, the next tripping point for me was that the commands for xpath queries on windows platforms needs to have quotes that dont appear in the documentation (I found this in previously posted msgs to this list )...

Users Guide example says something like: xindice xpath -c /db/data/products -q  /[EMAIL PROTECTED]"120320"]

on windows this needs to be...xindice xpath -c /db/data/products -q  "/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'120320']"
