[Chiba-users] Integration Help / Examples?

[Adam R. <ada...@de...>]

Hi Chaps,

I understand that Chiba was designed so that it could be integrated into
other applications. I would like to integrate Chiba into the eXist XML
database http://www.exist-db.org

I am struggling to find any good examples or concise documentation on
integrating Chiba, I have read through the cookbook several times but it
seems to be very high level. I have also looked at ChibaServlet but
there seems to be a lot of wrapper code in there and so I am finding it
difficult to grasp the fundamentals.

eXist already has a Servlet architecture and REST Server, I would like
to integrate chiba in such a way that, if any XML document requested by
HTTP contains XForms elements then it is passed to Chiba for processing.
I would then also like to capture the response coming into the servlet
and update the XForm using Chiba.

Now I see my first starting point as creating a small test servlet,
mainly as a learning exercise. Where by I can make requests for an XForm
and then have this processed by Chiba.

I found this article -
http://uk.builder.com/webdevelopment/xml/0,39030058,20274918,00.htm
which at first looked perfect. Trying to use it seems to show that the
Chiba API has changed and the code in this article is no longer relevant
- http://uk.builder.com/misc/popup/code/20274918-B.java

What I would really like is guidelines on how to integrate Chiba, in
fact an article like the one above bought upto date for the current
Chiba API would be even better, if anyone knows of such a thing? Or any
articles or code examples on integrating chiba would be appreciated, the
simpler the better! Almost like a getting started I guess...

Thanks
