Thanks Steven and Stavros Steven, I should have said that the result xml I showed, is after a XMLDBException which occurs on the call to XUpdateQueryService.updateResource(String key, String document). The error persists after upgrading to xerces-2.2.1.jar. I think that to know more I need to find the source of that class in xmldb-api.jar. How can I get it or a more recent version?
Stavros, I did have trouble understanding the syntax of the xupdate:modifications. It took the XMLDBGUI and many readings of http://xmldb.org/xupdate/xupdate-wd.html The xupdate:modifications part of the query below does work in xmldbgui. Also Instructions for using xmldbgui with xindice1.1 are here http://titanium.dstc.edu.au/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/XMLdbGUI/docs/How To_Configure_XMLdbGUI_Lite.html?rev=1.1 but these may be more help http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xindice-users&m=103615588828273&w=2 (follow the thread) Don ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stavros Kounis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 1:06 PM Subject: RE: xupdate update in cocoon > > i have try to use XUpdate using all the GUI client they are in xindice web > site with out success and without any error message > > a messege in this list is talking about a bug in xindice > but i dont know more details > > if anyone run succesfull a XUpdate guery please post an example in this > list > > > ---stavros > > > On Mon, 14 Apr 2003, Steven Cummings wrote: > > > Don, > > > > What is it exactly that doesn't work? I'm using Xindice and Cocoon together on Tomcat (4.1) and jdk14 and what I've discovered is that you need to use the Xerces jar from Xindice (2.2.1 I think) in both Cocoon, and Tomcat underneath (meaning put it in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/endorsed). All of this is assuming that you're problem is a Java exception being thrown when you try to execute the update statements. > > > > Sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for. > > > > /S > > > > Don Saxton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > >Hi > > > > > >I have a good start in putting xindice 1.1b together with cocoon 2.04 (jdk > > >1.4 tomcat 4.1.18), but I am really stuggling with Xupdate. > > > > > >I got this far by using the experiences of several people on this list. > > >Thank you greatly.
