BinaryResources?
Any plans to support BinaryResources in Xindice?
We're looking at using Xindice for storing our data files, but we
still have some files that aren't XML. I saw one message that suggested
BinaryResources would be added in version 2. If so, is there any
target release date for version 2?

We want to use the XML:DB api, with the hope of supporting other
repositories that implement the api. I'm sure we can work around it
if BinaryResources aren't going to be supported in Xindice, I just wanted
to know if there were any plans one way or the other.
Thanks,
Tom

The underlying file system supports binary resources, and has since the
very beginning, they just aren't exposed via the Collection interface or
the XML:DB APIs. If you had direct access to the Filer (via Collection)
you could do binary storage and retrieval. This can be accomplished by
using an XMLObject or by embedding the software into your application
and driving it manually.
