Thank you, Vijay, you were right: I copied the xindice-1.1b1.war from the package xml-xindice-1.1b1-war.zip to the webapps directory and restarted Tomcat (maybe it's even non necessary to restart Tomcat). Now I am able to browse the database using the url http://localhost:8080/xindice-1.1b1
I wonder if anybody in this list has the possibility to edit the file http://xml.apache.org/xindice/community/howto/installation/tomcat.html and simply could delete the section "Edit the Tomcat server.xml File" or put there what Vijay wrote?? Next problem: xml-xindice-1.1b1-war.zip does not contain any command line tool for accessing the xml database. Sure, I could use XML-RPC, but as I am still trying to find out if xindice can do what I would like to do with it I would like an easy access method, which would be a command line tool. On the download page under Milestone Releases there are 2 sections for binaries: Version 1.1b1 - Binary (webapp) Version 1.1b1 - Binary (jar) unfortunately the link for the Windows binary is the same in BOTH sections, they BOTH point to the same file: xml-xindice-1.1b1-war.zip Again, is there anybody who can edit http://xml.apache.org/xindice/download.cgi ??? I guess there's a wrong link!! ok ... I just tried to change the link from xml-xindice-1.1b1-war.zip to xml-xindice-1.1b1-jar.zip, that did it. And I found a commandline tool in xml-xindice-1.1b1-jar.zip, but it's not working ... well ... -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Vijay Murthi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Friday, November 28, 2003 3:41 AM An: [email protected] Betreff: Re: Xindice Tomcat How-To: crucial part on editing the Tomcatserver.xml file is missing Just put the ".war" file in tomcat "webapps" directory. Everything would be automatic from there. Probably you may need to rename the ".war" to Xindice.war before putting it there. What basically happens is when tomcat gets started up (assuming if you have the default "server.xml" configuration) it looks into "webapps" directory for servlets. If some happen to be in "war" format they get expanded into servlet directories (or) files. Xindice after it expands contains the necessary configuration to direct the tomcat how to load it.
