Hi I have a good start in putting xindice 1.1b together with cocoon 2.04 (jdk 1.4 tomcat 4.1.18), but I am really stuggling with Xupdate.
I got this far by using the experiences of several people on this list. Thank you greatly. Frequently I read that others get xupdate to work, so I am hoping that someone can help me over the last hurdle. Below are xupdate query that I input to the cocoon transformer XMLDBTransformer and the result. With xmldbgui I can successfully xupdate with the modifications node set of the update query below. The query side works well and I am able to snag a fragment from a document or a document from a collection. I can do it through cocoon, xmldbgui, xincon, and almost with "the ugly debug tool" (can't glue the xpath query onto the http collection request, but it's still a keeper). One suspect is xmldb-api-20021118.jar. I could not find xmldb-api-20021126.jar or how to get to xmldb cvs. My other suspect is XMLDBTransformer which seems to require an oid attribute eventhough a query of type="update" is documented as not needed. It doesn't seem to matter what the value of oid is. Related to these is that I can't find documented (well, meaningfully documented) the difference between these two: XUpdateQueryService.update(String document) XUpdateQueryService.updateResource(String key, String document) Thanks for everything Don <!-- _________the query_________ --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xindice:query xmlns:xupdate="http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate"; xmlns:xindice="http://apache.org/cocoon/xmldb/1.0"; type="update" oid="whatever"> <xupdate:modifications version="1.0"> <xupdate:remove select="//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'p1']"/> <xupdate:append select="//persons"> <xupdate:element name="person"> <xupdate:attribute name="id">p1</xupdate:attribute> <xupdate:attribute name="name">Don</xupdate:attribute> <parents xmlns:chiba="http://chiba.sourceforge.net/2001/09/xforms"; xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/08/xforms/cr"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; xmlns:collection="http://apache.org/cocoon/xmldb/1.0"; xmlns:src="http://xml.apache.org/xindice/Query";> <personref person="p2"/> <personref person="p7"/> </parents> </xupdate:element> </xupdate:append> </xupdate:modifications> </xindice:query> <!-- _________end query_________ --> <!-- _________the result_________ --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xindice:query oid="whatever" type="update" result="failure" xmlns:xupdate="http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate"; xmlns:xindice="http://apache.org/cocoon/xmldb/1.0";> Failed to update resource whatever: 1 </xindice:query> <!-- _________end result_________ -->
