Embedding Xindice: Part 2
Hey everyone:
On the subject of embedding Xindice...has anyone found the solution to that previous post?
Another thing is that I'm working with XMLdbGUI and trying to use Xindice on this, but I'd rather have it so that it's not poping up any background DOS windows throwing errors out. I'd just like a way to embed Xindice into the XMLdbGUI program, if possible. At work we are trying to find and develop on Java based XML database interface to do basic operations like update, select...etc. I wonder if using just eXist XML database might work instead. I just might try that in the meantime.

Up front: I'm probably as new to this as you are. If not, I'm newer :)
>From what I've gathered, from the released versions, only eXist will be
readily embeddable. Xindice from CVS should be embeddable, but the
latest mail archive message I could find on the topic labelled it
unstable.
OTOH, eXist does not do updates of document content. If you want to
update a node you have to fetch the entire document, change it locally,
then replace the existing document in the database. This opens up
opportunities for race conditions (I don't think eXist does
document-level locking).

I don't know of any program that will interface with "any" kind of XML
database, sorry.

Well see here's my problem in the first place. I need to find a Java program
that will interface with any kind of XML database, and that XML database
program(i.e.: Xindice) is embedded within the Java program itself.
I'm kinda in a bind right now. I'm really frustrated with this.
I'm somewhat new to the Java and XML database arena. Now XMLdbGUI seems to
be like the solution, but I'm wondering if there are other options out
there. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, Stephanie

I was waiting for you to come up with a permanent solution, but this
works for now!
thanks,

well, I'm not the only one working on Xindice... Currently you can pass
the location of the property file to the embed driver by calling
System.setProperty(Xindice.PROP_XINDICE_CONFIGURATION,
"path-to-the-config-file");
before creating the instance of the driver.
Since this is not really the most elegent solution, we are working on
another one.

I use Xindice to do CRUD(CreateReadUpdateDelete) as it is out of the box
and embedded. Now if
only Vlad could define where the db directory is at, I can find/specify
my file locations. If you have a
java program, then yes you can embed Xindice and do CRUD. I don't know
about errors, it is a java
program so it might throw exceptions. They can be caught.
HTH,
