Xindice Version 1.1b1 ============================= IMPORTANT
NOTE: Deployment of Xindice 1.1 is very different from
Xindice 1.0. In many ways this should constitute a full version
change since it isn't really backwards compatible with
1.0. However, the reasons this was done was to simplify the
code base in preparation for future development. Unfortunately,
the new features added do not justify a version change to
2.0. -
Documentation for this release is badly out of date. Volunteers � are needed to update
it before 1.1 final is released. -
Server side installation is now done by deploying a WAR � archive within a
Java servlet engine. See the document in � docs/community/howto/installation/tomcat.html
for information � on using Tomcat.
Note: this document needs to be updated along � with all the others. ��� -
The database is now deployed within a servlet engine to enable � network access. This
is different from in 1.0 where Xindice had � its own server
framework. This change was made because the � custom Xindice
server framework just duplicated much of the � functionality
provided by servlet engines. This has the nice � side effect of
creating more flexibility in deployment options. � -
The network access API is now based on XML-RPC rather then � CORBA. This was done
for simplification and to eliminate the � constant problems
with the CORBA ORB and consumption of � resources. It also
was done to address UTF-8 encoding issues � that were present
with CORBA. Initial tests show a minimal � performance impact
from this change. -
All CORBA related code has been removed from the system. -
The server should now fully support the storage and retrieval � of documents encoded
as UTF-8. -
There is now an embedded version of the XML:DB API.
This allows � you to build Xindice
applications that access the database � without using the
network. The API should be fully compatible � with the network
enabled XML:DB API implementation. An embedded � database can be used
by simply changing the XML:DB URI from � xmldb:xindice:// to
xmldb:xindice-embed://. -
The xindiceadmin tool has been removed. All commands that were � previously only
accessible through xindiceadmin are now � available through
the xindice command. This should make � working with the
server a little simpler. -
An option was added to the command line tools to allow the � specification of
namespaces to be used with XPath queries. � This option is -s. Refer to the Tools
Reference document for � more information. -
On the command line tools the confirmation during deletion � has been removed.
Along with this the -y option that would force � automatic deletion
has also been removed. -
The command line tools can be run against a network version of � Xindice or against a local
database. See the -l and -d options � to learn more about
local database access. -
XMLObjects have been removed. -----Original Message----- Hi, the web site is not very prolofic
about changes on version 1.1 (http://xml.apache.org/xindice/changes.html). Could anyone give me a good
pointer ? Regards, C�dric ------------------------------------------------------------ "Imagination is more
