Indeed this would be incredibly interesting. Albeit the xmldb interfaces are nice in terms of standardization. We all know that what matters is underneath the covers. Resource leaks on collections, large documents, performance, xupdate semantics, etc.
I have xindice 1.1 up and running in embed mode. using ideaj with all sources in my project. it is very interesting to actually step through and see what is really going on..

I have downloaded Xindice, Exist, Berkeley XML DB and Tamino and plan over the next 2 months to bang on these systems quite a bit (I'm in grad school and using this for a project)...I'll let you all know if we find any other pros about the Exist system. One thing that does come to mind is that Exist is *supposed* to handle storage larger documents than Xindice, but as another person pointed out, the performance searching these documents could be quite slow. I did just go through the installation process for Exist; It was quite uneventful when running it inside of Tomcat (they have a .war file on the web)...but only Tomcat 4.x. I couldn't get it to work in 5.x. cheers, susan --On Thursday, October 09, 2003 7:27 PM +1000 Terence Kearns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>> My last question: supporting XUpdate and well-integration with apache >>> web application server are two obvious advanteges that xindice have. >>> any other pros? >>> > > Hey, just found out about the existance of eXist :) > > It seems that the current stable release of eXist does indeed support > XUpdate -- haven't tried it yet. > > Also, I probably wouldn't try flying the _integration_ argument given > that eXist can run embedded, read-only (ie. from a CD), as a conventional > service or inside a servlet container (as does Xindice 1.1(?)) > > Has anyone written an article which makes a comparrison between the two? > That would indeed be interesting. > > > > -- > Terence Kearns ~ ph: +61 2 6201 5516 > IT Database/Applications Developer > Enterprise Information Systems > Client Services Division > University of Canberra > www.canberra.edu.au >
