Windows scripts was Re: SOLUTION Startup Error
Is there anyone who is running this under windows and is comfortable with
.bat files that could take a look at the scripts and see if they're
correct or can be improved?

Try /"rootnode"
This link is to an interactive XPath Tutorial. It is not just a tutorial,
you can enter xpath statements and watch them run interactively!
It explains how to do some of the more esoteric queries...

Hi All, I'm running xindice on w2k and make a install on a win98 for my
partner for testing . The problem that wolfgang refers does not occurred in
my installation on win98, the bat adds all the jars, the .bat files seems
working fine i have only i few problems with index corruption maybe due
inappropriate shutdowns... tomorrow i look closer the files to search any
condition or problem relate it. Again, the 1 exit code is correct, i though
that 1 exit code means a error condition...
BTW anyone knows the way i can retrieve only the root node using xpath from
a xindice document? i used self but i got the root and descendants too...

RE: Windows scripts was Re: SOLUTION Startup Error
Posted by "Paul V. Woods" <pw...@rjlg.com>.
A couple of months ago I spent a day or two debugging the dbXML .bat files
trying to get it working on my Win98 SE machine. This is what I found:
* I had to load all of the .bat file into a text editor and save them with
DOS line endings (<CR><LF>) The command processor thought they were garbage
until I did this.
* There seemed to be a problem with the labels ":checkdbXML" and
":checkdbXMLWork." I think the command processor was getting confused and
was only looking at the first 8 or 10 characters. It was complaining about
duplicate labels or some such nonsense. Once I changed one of the labels to
a more unique string then it worked.
* The "for %%i in (%XINDICE_HOME%\java\lib\*.jar..." line did not work.
What I found was that this construct didn't work unless the file set was in
the current directory. So if I did something like:
CD %XINDICE_HOME%\java\lib
for %%i in (*.jar) do call lcp.bat %%i
then it worked.
* There was some problem with the %SystemDrive% environment variable other
than the fact that its not defined in Win9X machines. But I can't remember
what it was. I hardcoded around it.
Once I got past all of that, the server wasn't executing cleanly. There
were exceptions on startup, although it ended up running...sometimes. At
that point I said the heck with it. I tried an NT 4.0 box that I had
running in my office as a testing machine for another purpose. It worked
fine right out of the box...so that's what I'm using.
I'm really puzzled as to why some people are getting it to work on 98
machines without having the same problems, especially the Unix line-ending
thing. You would think that one could expect consistent operation on
different installations of what is supposedly the same operating system. I
hope this helps...sorry I don't have the time to get into it deeper.

My usual fix for 98 is similar. Take all the jars, copy them into a
d:\jars directory and then build the classpath:
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jars\somejar.jar
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jars\someotherjar.jar
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jars\someapachejar.jar
CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;d:\jars\somedbxmljar.jar
This shortens the classpath to a bare minimum. And "d:\jars\"
can be shortened to "d:\j\".
I usually call this setenv.bat. I just run it before I execute
other batch files. If the other batch files play with the
classpath then I edit out the classpath settings.

I am using Win98, because I love XML Spy and have an under-powered
laptop, not because I love Win98 ;-)
To extend DOS a bit, I use JPSoft's 4DOS command line shell - much
more flexibility.
The batch files don't seem to work for me because of a 255-character
limit that DOS has, the LOCALCLASSPATH exceeds that when the batch
files are used.
What I did to hack a fix, was to add a few lines to the start of the
batch file, that look for a file "D:\D\1.JAR" - if that file is not
present, it takes each file in D:\xindice\java\lib, renames it in a
sequence (1.jar, 2.jar, etc...) and puts it into D:\D. Then, I build
the CLASSPATH variable using the renamed .jar files (the original
.jar files are untouched). This allows me to get Xindice running
under Win98.
If anyone is interested, I can post the batch file mods later (they
are on my laptop) - however, they are only valid for 4DOS, as I use
their extended variables & @eval() function. I'd bet a similar
method could be used under vanilla DOS, though.
