Connect to exist-db externally, how?

[Ripa]

I have checked
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/exist-configuration#TOC-Modifying-the-eXist-configuration
and also tried web interface
http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/java-admin-client.xml and I am totally
lost.

I am using trial version 4.4 and would like to evaluate product.

In the file exist-conf.xml I have changed:

<default-permissions collection="0775" resource="0775" />

This page now says
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/release-notes/40#TOC-Security-of-the-built-in-eXist-database
that it's protected.

So I did that also:




Then I try access from Java:
"xmldb:exist://xx.yy.fi:8080/orbeon/exist/xmlrpc"

I will have org.xmldb.api.base.XMLDBException: HTTP server returned
unexpected status: Not Found

How the data is actually stored, I just want to get the XML data from all
forms.

thanks for any help!

Hi Ripa,

First, you don't *need* to use an external eXist. If you just started
working with Orbeon Forms, I'd recommend you stick to the internal eXist for
now, so you can get a flavor of what the product does without spending too
much time changing configuration files.

If you decide to use eXist in production, you might want to use an external
eXist, and this is when the procedure you're linking to comes into play. So
you'll let us know if this is really what you're trying to do, and if you're
still having trouble with that setup.

Hi Alessandro,

We are using Oracle now and it works ok. I am totally convinced about eXist
altought it's quite nice XML database. To connect directly to Orbeon
embedded eXist database was just too hard for me. Nor with oracle it's easy
to connect. Thanks for answering!

Hi Ripa,

Yes, eXist is a very nice database, but I am with you: despite that, most of
our clients use Oracle or another relational database, for a reason or
another. So I'm glad things are working for you with Oracle.
