configuring Tomcat for Xindice
Hi all,
first of all "HAPPY NEW YEAR" to all of you.
Then I have a problem in using xindice together with Tomcat.
I'm using Tomcat 4.1.12.
I tried to follow the instructions in the "Xindice Tomcat How-To" document (http://xml.apache.org/xindice/community/howto/installation/tomcat.html)
and at the point 3.2 I read
Edit the Tomcat server.xml File ...
Unfortunately there is only a note that doesn't really help. I mean that I don't know exactly how to insert the XINDICE_HOME/dist/xindice-1.1b.xml entry into the CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml file.
Does anybody can help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
*************************
I'll be very glad if you have any other suggestion about the marriage between Tomcat and Xindice.
*************************
Thanks in advance
Francesco

Not anymore. With the current CVS you can export the system property
xindice.db.home and point it wherever you want. A "db" directory will be
created there, containing the database.

Yes, if you want to change the location of the database, then you are
correct. You need to unjar the .war file, and edit the system.xml. I can
write to my ./db directory without a problem. It sounds to me like you have
a permissions problem with your tomcat installation. but that's just a
guess.
And, for #2, to do app specific logging, there is additional config required
inside the AppManager. I have setup some of it, but as yet, I haven't found
that logs contain useful information. I must have done something wrong tho
because I don't see any Xindice specific logging going on.
If using Jetty is easier, can someone add an installation howto on using it?

hi dave -
can you correct me where i'm wrong:
i thought that tomcat had to be coaxed to
do 2 things properly:
1) establish desired Xindice dbroot
2) do app-specific logging
NOTE: i also had a problem that tomcat wasn't
automatically unpacking war for me (RPM version) ...
...just as well:
for #1 - i found that i needed to unjar the war file
(anyway) so that i could edit the system.xml.
i have never been able to modify the Xindice db
when it is located in "./db" (perhaps my webuser
authority is weak ... i haven't checked ... i didn't
want the db in the path of my next un-jarring
either ... i know you mentioned you are
using apache + tomcat ... are you able to execute
xindice commands to modify the default './db'?)
for #2 - i added a logger to tomcat's server.xml.
...then i found out that vladimir had a template
for this already in CVS:
pls see his mention of xindice-1.1b.xml file in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xindice-dev&m=103826952515884&w=2
i'm using jetty now, but i'm curious to find out
if life in the tomcat lane is much easier than i thought..
thanks!

try restarting your tomcat. there is a good chance that tomcat will just
"Do The Right Thing".
