I confirm the bug. You can access the database with several instances of Xindice embed-mode. It leads to strange behaviour where I have not seen yet a predictable pattern (like not seeing documents that have been added by whatever of the instances). You never have an exception saying that several process access the same db files. It's usefull for debugging and tests to be able to view/modify the database while accessed in embed mode, but I see no reasonable way of having it working. I suppose that this possibility that can lead to incoherent data in the file will be shut down by Xindice developpers. The solution to do such things is to install Xindice as an independant server process (in Tomcat). There you can access the database from different process on a rational way.
