Jeff,
Ahhhh This is the answer I was expecting ! but not the one I was hoping
for. But yes ! It makes sense.
So now I understand exactly what XIndice works.
So the right solution is to create an XML Schema with one unique root
element: authorization for instance, then I can create multiple documents
but each document must share the same schema (the same root element) in
order to do a query.
I am assuming that the JAXR implementation from SUN (using XIndice) is
doing this, since UDDI or eBxml is a hierarchical "database"

Please respond to
xindice-users
I don't think it should be expected to work. The XPath query service
iterates over the collection (with some speedup from indexes) and finds
documents matching the XPath conditions. I don't believe that it can join
documents. Futhermore, there is no way to indicate in a single XPath
expression that one of the terms came from one document (/users/[EMAIL
PROTECTED])
and another term came from a second document (/groups/group/@id). The only
way this could work would be if the entire collection were considered 1
document, but in this case, either the union document would not be
well-formed XML (because it did not have a single root element) or the
XPath
expressions given in parentheses above would never be matched because they
did not include that single root element.
