Yeah the addressbook example is webapp.

Once Xindice is running inside tomcat you will beable to access it from simple java code but the addressbook is just a jsp example. If you have the code that your having trouble getting to work post to the list and I can take a look.

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.

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. Let me know if you need any more help let me

know

Todd

Hello,

I am still trying to get Example1 to run (unfortunately). I have changed
the port to 8080. I have also added xmlParserAPIs.jar and xercesImpl.jar
to my CLASSPATH. I still am getting the same runtime error.

If my URI is "xmldb:xindice:///db/addressbook" as specified in Example1,
I get

XML:DB Exception occurred 1 A connection to the Database Instance 'db'
could not be created. Error:  Connection refused: connect

Else if my URI is "xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db/addressbook"
XML:DB Exception occurred 1 A connection to the Database Instance 'db'
could not be created. Error: http://localhost:8080/db_bootstrap.ior

Commandline xindice and "Ugly" web browser have no problems "connecting"
to /db.

I really need to move past this problem (and on to the next!) Hope you
can help...

Thanks,
Lisa McCabe

   Hi,

   I am having trouble getting Example1 to work correctly. I am using
   Xindice 1.1b4 with Tomcat V5.

   Example1 runs but gives me the following:

   XML:DB Exception occurred 1 A connection to the Database Instance
   'db' could not be created. Error:

http://localhost:8888/db_bootstrap.ior

   Xindice commandline works fine. And I can view /db through the "Ugly
   Browser".

   I also get basically the same error when I try to run

XindiceBrowser.

   I have read through some old xindice-users problem emails, looking
   for similar problems. I have found one saying that db_bootstrap.ior
   indicates that I am using Xindice 1.0 client and Xindice 1.1 Server.
   Since I downloaded Xindice binary in one .zip, I am not sure how I
   could have that problem. Another email said it could be a CLASSPATH
   problem. I think I now have every .jar file on the planet in my
   classpath but the email indicated xmlParserAPIs.jar and
   xercesImpl.jar (not xerces.jar), I could find neither of those.

   Is there anyone out there who could help me with this problem???!

   Need help,
   Lisa McCabe

   Thanks a bunch in advance!!
