Hi,
I'm replying to my own email since I've found a solution and there's
nothing worse than searching for a problem, finding the question but there
is no answer ...
I still have no idea why I get a 302 Moved Temporarily error but if I use
Jetty on port 8888 instead of tomcat the following script works.
$ ./$XINDICE_HOME/xindice.sh start
Starting Xindice - Log files are under
$XINDICE_HOME/logs
Xindice is running with PID XXXX
$ python2.3
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> server = xmlrpclib.Server("http://localhost:8888/xindice";)
>>> result = server.run({"message":"ListCollections", "collection":"/db"})
>>> print result
{'result': ['trial', 'system', 'meta', 'test']}
The syntax of the message passing is a bit different to the examples I
could find.
Hope this helps someone! :)
Suzanne
This is my test script
------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import xmlrpclib
def main():
print "---start tests---"
server = xmlrpclib.Server("http://localhost:8888/xindice";)
print "---list collections---"
result = server.run({"message":"ListCollections",
"collection":"/db"})
print result
print "---add document---"
document = open("book.xml", "r")
args = {"message":"InsertDocument",
"collection":"/db/trial",
"document":document.read(),
"name":""}
result = server.run(args)
print result
document.close()
print "---query---"
args = {"message":"Query",
"collection":"/db/trial",
"type":"XPath",
"query":"//author"}
result = server.run(args)
print result
print "---end tests---"
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
------------------------------------
This is the output:
$ ./pyTestXindice.py
---start tests---
---list collections---
{'result': ['trial', 'system', 'meta', 'test']}
---add document---
{'result': '5c4e9a7e63746b7400000100de333eb7'}
---query---
{'result': '<?xml version="1.0"?>\n<result count="4"><author
xmlns:src="http://xml.apache.org/xindice/Query"; src:col="/db/trial"
src:key="test123">JRR Tolkien</author><author

src:key="test124">Charles Dickens</author><author

src:key="test124">Jane Austen</author></result>'}
---end tests---
