Hi Folks,
I have just started using XIndice. Please bear with me if my questions
are naive.
[1] I have stored in a collection the document BookCatalogue.xml.
Here's a sample of what the document looks like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BookCatalogue>
<Book InStock="yes">
<Title>...</Title>
<Author>...</Author>
</Book>
...
</BookCatalogue>
Note the InStock attribute. I would like to issue this query: "Find all
books that are in-stock".
I believe that here is the appropriate XIndice query:
xpath -c /db/publications/books -q //[EMAIL PROTECTED]"yes"]
However, this results in no nodes being selected.
Am I doing something wrong? The documentation shows a query with a
predicate, but I have not been successful at getting queries with
predicates to work.
[2] I have found that simple XPath expressions without a predicate does
work. For example, this works:
xpath -c /db/publications/books -q //Book
However, it returns a series of XML documents (each document contains
one <Book>...</Book>), not a series of nodes (as the documentation
indicates). That is, the query returns:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Book ...>
...
</Book>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Book ...>
...
</Book>
etc
The documentation says that the results should be simply a series of
nodes:
<Book ...>
...
</Book>
<Book ...>
...
</Book>
etc
Again, am I doing something wrong?
[3] The documentation says that XUpdate may be used to update the
documents in the XIndice database. However, it provides no indication
of "how" to actually submit an XUpdate document. Is there a
command-line command for submitting an XUpdate document? Can someone
give me instructions on the mechanism for using XUpdate with XIndice?
[4] I noticed on the Web site "XIndice was last modified in 2000". Is
this technology progressing? Has work stopped on it?
Thanks! /Roger
