Brian, If you're using the xmldb samples block, the first thing you will have to do is populate the database. The samples page uses an internal database.
If you want to use your own database with the embedded connector, you need to do the following: 1. create or copy the system.xml file for a database to a known location. 2. create or copy the actual database to where the system.xml file points to. 3. add the following option to your catalina.sh in JAVA_OPTS -Dxindice.configuration=<file_location>/system.xml This will pass the information to the generator. I know, it would be nice to have an init-param within the Cocoon context . . . . >From what you've been writing, it sounds like you're not using the Xindice driver with xml-rpc, but the embedded Xindice driver. What does the following section of your cocoon.xconf look like? Here's mine: <!-- Xindice driver --> <driver class="org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl" type="xindice"/> <!-- Xindice 1.1 Embedded driver --> <driver class= "org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.embed.DatabaseImpl" type="xindice-embed"/> You might try replacing: org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl with org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.xmlrpc.DatabaseImpl The top level driver is supposed to roll over to xml-rpc . . . . Another question - where is this collection living? Is it living under the Tomcat Xindice war application or did you add it via the command line to the standalone Xindice server. If you did the latter, you'll need to do the following: xindice start (to start the Jetty server) Change all of your 8080 to 8888 (where the Jetty server runs by default). You can test things by using the command line. xindice ld -c /db/restaurants will list the document names if the standalone server is running and is available on 8888. xindice ld -c \ xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db/restaurants will list the document names if your collection is in the Tomcat Xindice instance. HTH /mde/ just my two cents . . . . --- Brian Burridge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes,and I get: > > Resource Not found > Collection xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db/ not > found __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
