Changing root-collection directory
Hello!
How can I set an absolute path where Xindice ought to store its data?
This results in several exception being thrown:
<root-collection dbroot="d:/databases/xindice/" name="db" security="false">
thx

I'm using Xindice 1.0 and start my Xindice server from my build.xml
script in an /opt partition. I then open my Java application from
that same build.xml script using a different target. That application
has a line:
System.setProperty("xindice.home",XINDICE_HOME);
that sets the home directory for my client to the directory
containing my application (on /home/altheim/work/ceryle, a different
partition). My application's database files are stored relative
to its directory. My application does include the Xindice client in
a jar file as part of its path and distribution.
I realize Windows has different issues than unix/linux, but perhaps
this same approach might work for you. IOW, I have the Xindice
server running with its own $XINDICE_HOME, then my application sets
its own for the client side of things.

Which (unless I'm somehow mistaken) can be set separately
for server and client, thus allowing the /db directory to
be somewhere else.
Hope this helps,

You are correct about Xindice requiring
its "places" to be relative to $XINDICE_HOME
under Xindice 1.0.
If you use the newer embedded version from CVS,
Xindice does not require all of the content files,
ior file, log dir, etc. used by Xindice 1.0 and thus
you can install Xindice in one place, set XINDICE_HOME
to wherever you like (e.g. some directory not the same
as where you installed Xindice), and have it run just fine. The
only thing that Xindice embedded uses the XINDICE_HOME
for is the "db" directory.
Since I haven't used the XMLRPC version of Xindice, I can't comment
on how that version uses $XINDICE_HOME.

My system.xml says:
<root-collection dbroot="./db/" name="db" security="false">
As it is stored in $XINDICE_HOME/config and as the pathname for db
starts with a period
I suppose that it is *always* relative to the $XINDICE_HOME directory.
Using a different disk partition under windows seems not to be possible.
