Delphi
Hello. I am interested in creating an open source Delphi (object pascal)
API for Xindice using the XML-RPC protocol. I have already begun work on
this, but I need some guidance.
Right now I am simply trying to use Delphi to communicate with Xindice using
an existing Delphi API for XML-RPC. I have had some success in that I am
able to connect to port 4080. The message I am sending is intended to
return the document count for a collection.
Here is the message I send:
<methodCall><params><param><value><array><data><value><string>/db/root</stri
ng></value>
</data>
</array></value>
</param>
</params>
<RPCmethodName>db.getDocumentCount</RPCmethodName>
</methodCall>
And this is the reply that I receive:
<methodResponse><fault></fault>
<params><param></param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
Somehow, I don't think my message was properly constructed. I'm not sure
how to interpret the response, but it is not what I was expecting. I would
be grateful for any suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Pietro Michelucci

Now that you mention it, I remember installing this add-on after installing
Xindice.

sorry. you are correct. the addon that i was thinking of is this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xindice-xmlrpc/
xmlrpc addition for v1.0. See the README in the docs/ subdir for details on
installation.

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that this is not the case. From a

your perl binary should just "know" where its modules are. perl -V shows the
@INC value.
your Frontier::Client should be one of those directories. If not, then
reinstall the Frontier Client using CPAN. (perl -MCPAN -e shell .. then
type install Frontier::Client)

It sounds like the jury's still out on the question of whether or not xmlrpc
is supported in the non-CVS xindice. In the meantime, I have been trying to

Everything is always an option and having some code on SF doesn't mean that it
won't be included into the Apache tree. On the contratry: SF is often used to
mature projects before they join Apache.
Apache emphasis on "Community" and it's not IMO (only) a code repository. If
you want to bring code into Apache, you must prove that you have a community of
developers AND users.

Too much hassle. The current problem is that we should make a release but we
first learn how to do it in the Apache infrastructure. Other projects do it
successfully so there's no reason that Xindice can't do it too.

Good decision. But it doesn't mean that the Delphi code can't ever be @
Apache. Before you start committing into SF, drop me a mail since I have some
experience with the SF infrastructure.
I would also like to see the HTTP and WebDAV servlets for the latest CVS code
but haven't had the time to start working on it.

Is adding Xindice add-ons to the Apache tree an option. What is the
disadvantage to keeping everything together on the Apache tree?
Would it make sense to keep all of the development work on the Apache tree
but at the same time keep a copy of all of the production-level source and
binaries on SF? That way Xindice developers would have a forum at Apache
and potential users would have an easy access point at SF.
Does someone run the show here and make executive decisions about this kind
of thing? Or is this a sort of democratic process?
Frankly, I am not particularly invested in where code is kept or
collaboration takes place. I simply want a place to put my Xindice Delphi
API when it is ready so that others can use it, thus opening Xindice to a
large new population of potential adopters. If there isn't a place to do
this on the Apache tree, then, barring any reasonable objections, I will put
it on SourceForge.

I proposed to moved a bunch of code (e.g. the eclipse-ui) from the Apache tree
into a SF tree. Others found that it was splitting the community and since we

But I'm still convinced that this is the way to go.

It's better if other developers have that experience too. So I won't volunteer
for setting up the project but I can have a look at your code and give my 2
cents if you want (but wait 1-2 weeks because I'm quite busy and don't have

SF is very intuitive and it's easy to set up a new project (been there, done
that). You simply have to define one module per subproject and that's all.

I like that idea.

RE: Delphi
Posted by Dave Viner <dv...@yahoo-inc.com>.
no... check the error message: "This Collection 'db' cannot store Documents"
you asked that a new document be stored in /db. you need to create a
collection under /db to store your docs. look at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xindice-xmlrpc/xindice-xmlrpc
/src/java/org/xmldatabases/xmlrpc/RPCOperations.java?rev=1.2&content-type=te
xt/vnd.viewcvs-markup for all the methods available. just like the example
below, simply prepend 'db.' to the java method name, and follow the
parameters.

Posted by Dave Viner <dv...@yahoo-inc.com>.
um... make sure you define a $server value (should be
http://your_machine_name) and a $port value (use 4080).
$xmlRpcClient = Frontier::Client->new('url' => "$server:$port/Xindice",
'debug' => '1');
if that's set... try removing the /Xindice from the url value. i think it's
supposed to be there, but ya never know.

Dave:
I couldn't switch the default path from my Oracle Apache version of perl to
the new version that includes the Frontier module, but I was able to just
run the new perl.exe right out of its own directory. And as you suggested,
it already knew how to find the Frontier module.
Here is my result:

400 URL must be absolute
This will certainly help me form my XML requests. But do you have any ideas
why it is returning the error message: 400 URL must be absolute ?

Dave:
I couldn't switch the default path from my Oracle Apache version of perl to
the new version that includes the Frontier module, but I was able to just
run the new perl.exe right out of its own directory. And as you suggested,
it already knew how to find the Frontier module.
Here is my result:
---- request ----
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>db.insertDocument</methodName>
<params>
<param><value><string>/db</string></value></param>
<param><value><string>tmpfile</string></value></param>
<param><value><string><foo>bar</foo></string></value></param>
</params>
</methodCall>
400 URL must be absolute
This will certainly help me form my XML requests. But do you have any ideas
why it is returning the error message: 400 URL must be absolute ?
Thanks,
Pietro

RE: Delphi

should keep it on the list for future folks who run into the same problem.
if you have perl available, try using the Frontier::Client package with this
script:
use Frontier::Client;
$contents = "<foo>bar</foo>";
$xmlRpcClient = Frontier::Client->new('url' => "$server:$port/Xindice",
'debug' => '1');
$xmlRpcClient->call('db.insertDocument', '/db', 'tmpfile', $contents);
this will try to insert a document named "tmpfile" with the $contents in the
collection at /db/foobar. Make sure that /db exists.
it should print out (on stderr) a bunch of stuff about the message its
sending.

Thanks for your quick reply. It seems that regardless of how I compose my

haven't tried too many permutations in my request.
I'm using Xindice 1.0 (and it prints birthday parenthetically next to the
version number in the console window).

are you able to receive any xmlrpc responses that are valid?
are you using 1.0 or the cvs version?

Subject: Delphi
Hello. I am interested in creating an open source Delphi (object pascal)
API for Xindice using the XML-RPC protocol. I have already begun work on
this, but I need some guidance.
Right now I am simply trying to use Delphi to communicate with Xindice using
an existing Delphi API for XML-RPC. I have had some success in that I am
able to connect to port 4080. The message I am sending is intended to
return the document count for a collection.
Here is the message I send:
<methodCall><params><param><value><array><data><value><string>/db/root</stri
ng></value>
</data>
</array></value>
</param>
</params>
<RPCmethodName>db.getDocumentCount</RPCmethodName>
</methodCall>
And this is the reply that I receive:
<methodResponse><fault></fault>
<params><param></param>
</params>
</methodResponse>
Somehow, I don't think my message was properly constructed. I'm not sure
how to interpret the response, but it is not what I was expecting. I would
be grateful for any suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Pietro Michelucci
