we're using it over the network.
essentially, we implemented an extended version of xindice (2 or 3 more
patches to come which enable this). in that extended version, we added
several features that are pertinent to our project. They include
auto-creating a Meta object for each Resource (Collection/Document). This
Meta object contains useful metadata about the resource. The Meta object's
xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<meta>
<system type="link" href="/db/test/bar/romeo">
<!--Create time is Mon Jul 15 14:36:02 PDT 2002-->
<attr name="created" value="1026768962473"/>
<!--Modified time is Mon Jul 15 14:36:02 PDT 2002-->
<attr name="modified" value="1026768962473"/>
</system>
<attrs>
<attr name="user-defined" value="stuff" />
</attrs>
<custom>
.. any xml here ..
</custom>
</meta>
Also, we added a feature for "linking" one document to another. Finally, we
allowed users to create new named sequences. This functionality allows us
to use sequences in the same way that a user of Oracle might use Sequence
objects.
These extensions are implemented in a seperate jar file and essentially are
extensions to the core of xindice. I'm still trying to assess how to
incorporate these changes with the recent checkins in preparation for v1.1,
especially in relation to the removal of XMLObjects.

Subject: Re: patch for sequencer
How are you using the sequencer? Since it's an XMLObject I was planning to
remove it. Are you using it over the network or just locally in an
embedded application?
