xindice & xml:db samples

[Anders Forsgren <an...@digitalfarmers.com>]

Hi all,
How do I get the xmldb block samples working?

I found this page, which is as confusing as it is new
http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=XMLIndiceCocoon2.1

I have the cocoon 2.1.4-dev up and running, with the xmldb block 
included. Do I need to create the 'db' database or any special 
collections in the xindice db before the xmldb samples work? If so, how 
do I create data? Do I still need to build & run xindice from the 
command line to do that?

Ah I get it, I'm at the edge of the devel process :) I thought I was 
just too stupid to get it running....

 Am I correct when I think that cocoon together with xindice embedded 
will be a brilliant sort of "self-contained" app? (i.e. the App will be 
truly portable, the data can reside in WEB-INF)? If so, then this should 
be the main benefit of the proposed cocoon-nuke: the fact that most 
people who want a cms or community portal can't install and prepare a 
dbms, a web server, and php/perl/whatever - site. Dumping a .war into 
the webapps dir of a servlet container would certainly be a lot easier.

They don't exist at the moment ...

... what I wrote on this page too. What exactly is confusing? Maybe you 
can change the confusing things. I thought it's more clear than before.

Yes, the db is empty. How to fill it? That's exactly the point I don't 
know, but this will change in near future hopefully. But you are not the 
only one asking, also committers are working on xindice or want to use 
it, so there is a higher chance, that something will be done :-)

Xindice 1.1 provides an embedded and a standalone mode (as written on 
the wiki page). The way you did it (=> xmldb block) you have Xindice 
running in embedded mode.
You *can* also run it in standalone mode. Therefore you have to "build & 
run" Xindice yourself (but this is not necessary for embedded mode). The 
documentation for filling the database is available at 
http://xml.apache.org/xindice/, but depends on tools only delivered with 
standalone mode. And so, to come back to the first point, I don't know 
how to fill the db in embedded mode.
