Thanks for your reply Vadim.
I did exactly the same.
I can see in the tomcat startup that my "db" is
pointing to the new location. Everything looks great.
but when i try to list the collections using 
"xindice" command, (xindice lc -c
xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db) i am getting the
following error: XMLDB Exception 0: Cannot communicate
with the server: http://localhost:8080/xindice

(I did not changed the "xml-rpc" part in system.xml)
(i also tried xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/myapp/db)

Please see javadoc for o.a.x.client.xmldb.xmlrpc.DatabaseImpl. Most 
probably you have to add SYSPROP_SERVICE_LOCATION parameter when running 
java:
  -Dxindice.xmlrpc.service-location=/myapp/

Otherwise it goes to DEFAULT_SERVICE_LOCATION, which is "/xindice/".

also when i try the following code
==================================================
<%@ page import = "org.xmldb.api.base.*" %> 
<%@ page import = "org.xmldb.api.modules.*" %> 
<%@ page import = "org.xmldb.api.*" %> 
<%@ page import =
"org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.services.*" %> 
<%@ page import = "org.apache.xindice.xml.dom.*" %> 

<%
  Collection col = null;
  try {
    String driver =
"org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl";
    Class c = Class.forName(driver);
    Database database = (Database) c.newInstance();
    DatabaseManager.registerDatabase(database);
    String uri = "xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db";
    col =
      DatabaseManager.getCollection(uri);
When you are in the same webapp, use embed driver - it is faster. See 
javadoc.


    String collectionName = "test";
    CollectionManager service =
      (CollectionManager)
col.getService("CollectionManager", "1.0");
    // Build up the Collection XML configuration.
    String collectionConfig =
      "<collection compressed=\"true\" " +
      "            name=\"" + collectionName + "\">" +
      "   <filer
class=\"org.apache.xindice.core.filer.BTreeFiler\"/>"
+
      "</collection>";
    service.createCollection(collectionName,
      DOMParser.toDocument(collectionConfig));
    out.print("Collection " + collectionName + "
created.");
  }
  catch (XMLDBException e) {
    out.print("XML:DB Exception occured " +
e.getMessage());
  }
  finally {
    if (col != null) {
      col.close();
    }
  }
  
%>
================================================
i am getting the same error. 

Am I missing something here.? or doing wrong.?
please advise.

 Instead of deploying xindice.war under webapps, I

want to integrate xindice with my existing webapp.
  So far I figured that I need to change the

my

jar's into my webapp's lib folder)
Yes.

  Please let me know what else I need to do.
Same as for merging any other webapp:
WEB-INF/classes, WEB-INF/web.xml, 
all other resources within WEB-INF folder.
