Add to your JSP:

 <%= new org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.embed.DatabaseImpl() %>

If it fails you'll know that classpath is the problem. You have to have xindice-*.jar and all xmldb-*.jar's in WEB-INF/lib of your webapp.


Thanks, that was indeed the problem. I didn't realise that, even if you've already installed the WAR, you still have to:


If you have installed WAR file, it means that you have an xindice-*.jar in the tomcat/webapps/xindice/WEB-INF/lib folder. If you are trying to write JSP connecting to this xindice server, and this JSP resides in *another* web application - then you have to copy xindice-*.jar file there too, so you have client classes.

Hope it clears up the issue.


* Download and extract the source tarball
* Run "build"
* Copy the resulting xindice.jar from "dist" to the webapp's "lib" directory


You can get xindice.jar from war dist also; no need to build new one.


I don't quite understand why this is necessary.

I think the current migration notes on the Wiki are a little confusing if you are trying to install a release version (from a WAR file, for example). Should I write a "migrating to a stable 1.1 release" how-to?


Go ahead. All help is welcome.
