Hi Jenya - The Xindice XML-RPC interface is designed so that XML-RPC will replace CORBA as the multi-language access mechanism. Here's a good link to the purpose behind the XML-RPC interface: http://xindice-xmlrpc.sourceforge.net/
To download the XML_RPC interface go here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xindice-xmlrpc/ The problems that we were encountering seemed similar to what Edward Nesterov was describing in the initial post that I replied to. We found that Xindice would run smoothly for the first few hundred transactions (about 5 minutes based on what our application does) but that the resources used by the Xindice transactions were not getting freed. Basically what would end up happening is that our application and the tomcat server would appear to hang in odd, random places and the CPU would max out and the JVM would end up hung/crashed. Switching to the XML-RPC interface solved this problem. It looks like the developers all want to cut CORBA anyways as the default implementation and there's some further discussion of the problem, for example, here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xindice-dev&m=102643473900429&w=2 I highly recommend using the XML-RPC interface right from the beginning. It wasn't too painful to port our application over to it, but it did take a few days work. Hope that helps, catherine -----Original Message----- From: Jenya Strokin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 12, 2002 1:53 PM To: xindice-users@xml.apache.org Subject: RE: Problem with resource freeing. May I ask instead of what you start using XML-RPC interface? Because I'm going to use Xindice with Tomcat, I probably should use this interface too. I've tested Xindice using APIService, is it bring the problem? Could you give more details of this case? I'm new in Xindice and any information is helpful.

Hello all, For the record I want to state that switching to the XML-RPC interface has solved the resource freeing and memory issues that we were experiencing with Xindice under Win2K. Hope that helps someone in the future...

Hi, 1) We spent a lot of time for writing the custom mapper RDBMS<->XML as all open source XMLDB which are on the market did not match our criteria. 2) No we did not try Xindice's XML_RPC interface.
