Greetings. I
would like to access Xindice from a Delphi v6 application. I understand
that Xindice now has support for transactions via HTTP using XML-RPC. I
recently discovered a Delphi API for XML-RPC, so I would like to try to access
my Xindice database using that mechanism. Can anyone provide some guidance
on how to do this?
At this point I have
a rudimentary understanding of XML-RPC in that it sends a request in XML format
according to certain guidelines and the receives a response, which is also in
XML. Is this correct? I get the impression that it is like a Biztalk
schema. What commands does the XML-RPC interface in Xindice accept?
Can someone point me to a resource for this?
Also, I have an
unrelated question. Is it possible, in principle, to use XML-RPC calls to
create a new XML document in Xindice? In other words, is it necessary to
begin by creating an XML file and then adding it to a collection, or can one
simply build a document programmatically using just XML-RPC and
XUpdate?
Thank
you,
Pietro
