Ask Slashdot: Open Source XML Databases There's an Ask Slashdot running about Open Source XML Databases. It seems the poster really wants a relational XML bridge rather then a native XML database. One good open source solution for that is Ronald Bourret's XML-DBMS. Alternatively eXist has a relational backend and Xindice has a pluggable filer system that enable the creation of just about any backend you might want. 4:34:55 PM    comment SP2N Corporation XMLAcl Server 1.0 SP2N Corporation has released XMLAcl Server 1.0. Their description of this is "Access control and Administration to XML database". It sits on top of Xindice or eXist, but apparently ships with Xindice. 12:55:27 AM    comment

Looks like it's written in C# and talks to Xindice via XML-RPC. You can get it from the project's Sourceforge page, Xindice.Net. 6:58:01 PM    comment

JavaOne Java Coding Challenge Krzysztof Kowalczykiewicz pointed out that Borland and Intel have teamed up to build a Java coding contest at the upcoming JavaOne. The challenge? Optimize the Xindice database server. It's pretty wild to see this come about. Unfortunately, the download only works on Windows, won't even download to a Mac. It includes full Xindice source (1.0rc1) along with Alexander Schatten's Xindice browser application. One thing I wish they'd included in the rules, "all code submitted must be donated to the Apache Xindice project after the contest". Oh well, maybe next time. Still cool to see. 4:24:28 PM    comment

Cocoon Howto Perry Molendijk has written a short howto on using Xindice with the Cocoon XML publishing framework. I haven't tried this yet my self, but Cocoon and Xindice are a natural fit together and over the next few months some exciting things should emerge from the two projects. 5:50:47 PM    comment Xindice 1.0 Released It's been a long time coming, but we finally released Xindice 1.0. This really brings to a closure the work done on dbXML and sets the stage for new development under the Apache umbrella. See the release notes for information on changes and known issues. 2:07:22 AM    comment
