Xindice - Cocoon

[Andre Juffer <aj...@sun3.oulu.fi>]

Hi All,

I have some trouble to connect cocoon to xindice. More specifically, I 
am receiving the error message:

org.xmldb.api.base.XMLDBException: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: 
Collection 'db' cannot store resources (no filer)

when using the request

http://localhost:8080/foo/db/test?xpath=/

which should list everything in the collection 'test'.

I have Xindice installed under Tomcat (version 5.5) and have no trouble 
of reaching it from the command line or through Tomcat using

http://localhost:8080/xidice/foo/db

I get 'the ugly debug tool'. I have populated it using the command 
interface of Xindice. In cocoon.xconf (cocoon version 2.1.5.1) I have 
(I've removed the comments):

<!-- xmldb pseudo protocol -->
<component-instance 
class="org.apache.cocoon.components.source.impl.XMLDBSourceFactory" 
name="xmldb">
   <driver class="org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl" 
type="xindice">
         <service-location>/xindice/</service-location>
   </driver>
   <driver class="org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.DatabaseImpl" 
type="xindice-embed">
   </driver>
</component>

The sitemap contains the following entry:

<map:pipeline>
   <map:match pattern="db/**">
     <map:match type="request-parameter" pattern="xpath">
       <map:generate src="xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db/{../1}#{1}" 
         />
       <map:serialize type="xml"/>
     </map:match>
     <map:generate src="xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db/{1}"/>
     <map:serialize type="xml"/>
   </map:match>
</map:pipeline>


I cannot see any problem. As a matter of fact, I believe cocoon makes 
contact with Xindice, but apparently something is incorrect according to 
the aforementioned error message. Maybe one of you has seen this message 
also? It seems to indicate that cocoon looks into the db collection 
instead of db/test? I have been searching for several days now FAQs, 
wikis and email lists but without success unfortunately. It must be 
something very stupid that I have overlooked completely.

I am also not entirely clear on the sitemap entry, that is function of 
the '#' symbol. Would that be cocoon or xindice specific?

Thanks,
