Scope: Windows version of Xindice 1.0 Affected Files: %XINDICE_HOME%\startup.bat %XINDICE_HOME%\build.bat %XINDICE_HOME%\bin\lcp.bat %XINDICE_HOME%\bin\ant.bat %XINDICE_HOME%\bin\xindice.bat %XINDICE_HOME%\bin\xindiceadmin.bat Problems Xindice 1.0 requires older versions of Xerces and Xalan to compile and run properly. If you have JDK 1.4 installed you may find that you have newer versions of Xerces and Xalan on your CLASSPATH. Xindice 1.0 batch scripts for Windows do not handle paths with spaces in them. Solution Updated Windows Batch Files I added a few simple syntax fixes and minor additions to the original versions of the Xindice batch files. You may now install Xindice in a directory path that contains spaces. java.endorsed.dirs support was added to all java calls to eliminate the problem of incorrect versions of Xerces and Xalan being found first on the CLASSPATH. I have been installing and running Xindice without problems on Windows 2000 with JDK 1.4 using these scripts. My Xindice install directory is \Program Files\Apache\Xindice. If these new scripts test out ok for others I would like to contribute them to Xindice. -Gerry Reno

I was glad to find your batch scripts, tried them out on Windows XP and got the following messages: Xindice 1.0 (Birthday) Database: 'db' initializing Script: 'GET' added to script storage Service: 'db' started Service: 'HTTPServer' started @ http://Moritz-Taxetstr:4080/ Service: 'APIService' started Server Running ... here I tried to type "xindiceadmin ac -c /db -n addressbook", but I didn't get a promt to type in anything. Do you have an idea of what went wrong? Anyway, thanks for the batch files, without them I wouldn't even have got this far. Moritz
Open a second Command Prompt window and type: xindice and you should see a help screen. Read the online docs for how to use the command interface. Good luck. G. Reno
Don't forget to set %XINDICE_HOME% in your environment. And put %XINDICE_HOME% \bin in your path. Gerry Reno
