Re: Creating collections with embedded Xindice

[Simon Farrow <S....@umist.ac.uk>]

I've been trying to use the code below to create collections. It works but in a
slightly odd way. The first time I use it I get an exception thrown "Unable to
create collection". However, the next time it is used it's fine, why is this and
can I fix it?

The first time I'm using it is also the first time that the db directory is
created. I want to do all of the start of day stuff at once. Look for a
container if you get a null go and create it, job done.

At the moment I'm in the situation that you have to assume that the code is
going to fail the first test. Not ideal.

The guilty line is: service.createCollection(collectionName);

Thanks,

Simon

Yes, I always get this exception too. It's not ideal, but it's also not a
significant problem. It's more confusing than anything, as sometimes I
forget that it's going to happen, and wonder what's going on. :)
