Problem Initializing Xindice 1.1b3

[James Deegan]

I downloaded the binary of Xindice-1.1b3 (.WAR file and docs only). I'm running Tomcat 4.0.4 / J2SE 1.4.2 on Windows 98 Second Edition. (Have run earlier versions of Xindice on Win98)   The installation file (tomcat.html) states that: "Need section on inserting XINDICE_HOME/dist/xindice-1.1b.xml entry into the CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml file here."   I inserted the following section into CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml (just before Tomcat root):    <!-- Xindice Database Context -->  <Context path="/xindice" docBase="xindice-1.1b3" debug="0" reloadable="true">     <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger" debug="0" verbosity="1" prefix="xindice_log." directory="logs" timestamp="true" suffix=".txt"/>  </Context>   Tried opening URI http://localhost:8080/xindice-1.1b in Internet Explorer 6 SP1. Got following message: "Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 - HTTP Status 404 - /xindice-1.1b ... "The requested resource (/xindice-11b) is not available."   Then tried URI http://localhost:8080/xindice-1.1b3 and got this message (please see complete stack trace at end of this e-mail): "Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 - HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error" ... "javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet xindice threw exception  at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:946)  at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.allocate(StandardWrapper.java:655) ...  ... "root cause   "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xerces.util.XMLChar.isXML11Space(I)Z  at org.apache.xerces.impl.XML11DocumentScannerImpl.normalizeWhitespace(XML11DocumentScannerImpl.java:675)  at org.apache.xerces.impl.XML11DocumentScannerImpl.scanAttributeValue(XML11DocumentScannerImpl.java:409)  at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanAttribute(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:812)  at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:741)"   I subsequently downloaded the Xindice 1.1b3 source distribution, and in my autoexec.bat added / edited the following lines: SET XINDICE_HOME=c:\xindice-1.1b3 SET CLASSPATH=c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\xerces-2.6.0.jar;c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\xalan.jar;c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\xml-apis.jar;c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\xmldb-common.jar;c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\xmldb-xupdate.jar;c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\xmldb-api-20021118.jar;c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\xmldb-api-sdk-20021118.jar;c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\xmlrpc-1.1.jar;c:\jakart~1.4\webapps\xindice-1.1b3\Web-inf\lib\commons-logging-1.0.3.jar Note: I also tried setting CLASSPATH to JARs in %XINDICE_HOME%\java\lib, but did not solve problem. There are JARs as well in %XINDICE_HOME%\tools\lib  (including xerces-2.6.0). Noticed at Tomcat startup that Xindice classes did not load and that Coyote HTTP/1.1 was not initialized. Should the section in server.xml relating to Coyote be uncommented? Lastly, noticed at Tomcat startup that "server.properties not found ... using default properties ... Opening database: C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.4\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\db\cocoondb ... HSQLDB server 1.7.1 is running ..."  [but don't have Context for Cocoon in server.xml] Your advice and help will be very much appreciated.
