Re: recovering potentially corrupt data

[Rohit Mathur]

Hi Todd, So the original db was running off an application that was a wrapper around xindice, which is why i didnt want to send details. I have since copied the db over to another machine where I'm running the xindice 1.1b4. I tried what you recommended on a subset of the db (i.e. db/jobs). Here is the error i get $ xindice.sh export -v -c  xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db/jobs -n test -f test trying to register database Creating directory test/jobs Extracting 0 files from xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db/jobs Creating directory test/jobs/globalJobs1 XMLDB Exception 0: Failed to execute command 'ListDocuments' on server: http://localhost:8080/xindice/,message: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException org.xmldb.api.base.XMLDBException: Failed to execute command 'ListDocuments' on server: http://localhost:8080/xindice/, message: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException         at org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.xmlrpc.CollectionImpl.runRemoteCommand(CollectionImpl.java:124)         at org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.xmlrpc.CollectionImpl.listResources(CollectionImpl.java:488)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.command.ExportTree.process(ExportTree.java:111)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.command.ExportTree.process(ExportTree.java:148)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.command.ExportTree.execute(ExportTree.java:71)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.XMLTools.execute(XMLTools.java:293)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.XMLTools.process(XMLTools.java:171)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.XMLTools.main(XMLTools.java:82) Caused by: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException         at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient$Worker.execute(XmlRpcClient.java)         at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java)         at org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.xmlrpc.CollectionImpl.runRemoteCommand(CollectionImpl.java:112)         ... 7 more [[EMAIL PROTECTED]: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException         at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient$Worker.execute(XmlRpcClient.java)         at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java)         at org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.xmlrpc.CollectionImpl.runRemoteCommand(CollectionImpl.java:112)         at org.apache.xindice.client.xmldb.xmlrpc.CollectionImpl.listResources(CollectionImpl.java:488)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.command.ExportTree.process(ExportTree.java:111)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.command.ExportTree.process(ExportTree.java:148)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.command.ExportTree.execute(ExportTree.java:71)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.XMLTools.execute(XMLTools.java:293)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.XMLTools.process(XMLTools.java:171)         at org.apache.xindice.tools.XMLTools.main(XMLTools.java:82) thanks, Rohit P.S. I am able to add/remove collections from db/jobs, but not from db/globalJobs1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You could try running xindice command line tool like this to export the data and then reload it. $XINDICE_HOME/bin/xindice export -c xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db/ -n test -f test Maybe I can work with you to narrow down where this null pointer is coming from. Are you using the latest release? Todd On Fri, 12 May 2006, Rohit Mathur wrote: Hi, Is there any utility out there that can recover the data from a collection. Is it at all possible to do this at all? One particular collection has "gone bad". The rest of the db is working great. I am unable to query it or create a collection within it.
