Going to http://localhost:8080/xindice with the browser gives me the
normal "ugly browser" interface after prompting me for the
username/password with http basic authentication.

The problem comes when I try to access the database through a Java (or
flowscript) program.

I translated the Java program of the previous email into flowscript, and
this is the head of the stacktrace that I get:

org.apache.avalon.framework.CascadingRuntimeException:

Here is the flowscript program, in case it helps (any typos are mine, I'm
copying this by eye):

var driver = "org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl";
var c = java.lang.Class.forName(driver);

var database = c.newInstance();

database.setProperty("xmlrpc-password", "...");
database.setProperty("xmlrpc-user", "xindice");

DatabaseManager.registerDatabase(database);

var uri = "xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db";

col = DatabaseManager.getCollection(uri);


Line 35 as mentioned in the stacktrace is the line col =
DatabaseManager.getCollection(uri);

As mentioned before, this flowscript code, without the setting of
username/password, was working until I set the xindice directory to be
password protected.

Thanks for your time,

Matt
