Porting ScanCan to new Cocoon/eXist on Lettuce
Posted by mholmes on 15 Dec 2006 in Activity log
Spent some time preparing a new branch of ScanCan which will work on the new version of Cocoon/eXist on the Lettuce server (which uses eXist 1.1.1). Reasons for porting the project include:
- This eXist version has KWIC-style search results, which will make implementing a decent search page much easier.
- It handles large and complex documents.
- It has range indexes which will speed searches and queries.
I made required changes to the XQuery pages (mainly namespace URLs and a change to a key function name), and I'm currently waiting for Cocoon to be functional before I can test the results; there are other changes that may need to be made, but we won't know until we can test.
