Jive XML Database Driver

Version: 0.5

Author: Kimbro Staken

http://www.xmldatabase.org/

This is a port of the database access layer for Jive 1.2.4 to work on top of an XML:DB API compliant XML database, instead of a relational database. This is intended to serve as a proof of concept and example of using the XML:DB API in a reasonably complex application. The Jive discussion forums software was developed by Jive Software and prior to version 2.0 it was Open Source software. If you're looking for a good online forums software I highly recommend Jive and the price they charge for 2.0 is reasonable. The XML database driver will only work with Jive 1.2.4, since that is the last open source version and was the most current version when I started on this project.

I was planning to have a nice easy to install package for this, but I've never gotten around to finishing it. Rather then continuing to hold the source back and since several people have asked for it I've posted a tar of what I have. Pretty much it's just missing a detailed explanation of how to get it working. If you're smart I'm sure you can figure it out.
