command line delay

["Brian K. Buckley" <bb...@surfglobal.net>]

Hello.

I downloaded and installed xindice1.0 this morning.  When I enter to the
command  line (to either xindice or xindiceadmin), the command works but
only after considerable delay.

For example the command

    xindiceadmin ac -c /db -n addressbook

took over a minute before "Created : /db/addressbook" came back.  Each
xindice command also takes over 60 seconds.

I browsed the xindice user mailing list archive and didn't see anything on
this.  Is this expected behavior?

I have run into this on multiple platforms.   It has to do with hostname resolution

or lookup and the delay is the lookup timing out.   I wrote a java client and the
problem happens only on startup.   The problem with the command-line tools
is that you are constantly "starting up".   If it is Corba related, as indicated,
then when 1.1 comes out the problem should go away.   If you have control
over the configuration of the machine or can talk to an administrator, you
might be able to make the problem go away.

I had three machines on the same network, all Mac OSX and only one
had the problem.

This  issue was discussed on the developers mail list. In my understanding,
there is some lookup host name check performed by the Corba server. This is
what slows down XIndice so much.

Brian,
There are several Xindice Browsers available, they shouldn't have the
problem, or if they do, it can be fixed easily enough by caching
certain values.
