Mike,
No, it isn't. The current XML:DB API impl uses CORBA to talk to the server, but it needs to be able to contact it via HTTP initially, to bootstrap the CORBA connection.
Ok, hmmm. Well, I'm dealing with a situation where I already have http services running via apache and tomcat, I'd love to just drop my ior into my doc base there and use the already installed services, however,
I anticipate this is also not workable as the Xindice XML:DB implmentation is probibly looking specifically on port 4080 for the ior isn't it? As well the APIService in Xindice hard codes the location of the ior relative to XINDICE_HOME (Ouch).
IIRC, the upcoming XMLRPC impl of the XML:DB API will unfortunately be using http anyway, so there's no real way out of it.
Hmm, is the XMLRPC service going to be running directly through the HTTP Server? Will it run on a specific port? Just curious.
