Hi Todd, Thank you for your response.
I forgot to say that I am running on Windows. I just downloaded the .zip file and will take a look at the example files. Are you saying that I should build a .war file then deploy it in tomcat and run it like a webapp? I was hoping to be able to access xindice from a java program. I will try what you suggest. Thanks again, Lisa PS I still think I may simply have a CLASSPATH problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd Byrne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <xindice-users@xml.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 12:18 PM Subject: Re: Please help me run Example1 > Hi Lisa, > > So I am assuming you downloaded > http://ftp.wayne.edu/apache/xml/xindice/xml-xindice-1.1b4-jar.tar.gz > > Un-tarred it into a dir lets say /tmp. > > cd $XINDICE_HOME/java/examples > # this builds the addressbook example ant needs to be in your path > ant > # this copies the war to your webapps under a tomcat directory > cp ../../dist/addressbook.war $JAKARTA_HOME/webapps # > cd $JAKARTA_HOME/bin > ./shutdown.sh #shutdown tomcat > ./startup.sh #restart tomecat > > Open up your favorite browser point it to: http://localhost:8080/addressbook > > > That should get you going.
