[Exist-open] Thanks and error in saving document.

[Christopher P. L. <cl...@ma...>]

Hello All,

 

            First off, I've never taken the time to thank Wolfgang,
Jean-Marc, and all the others who contribute to eXist (forgive me for all
the people I've omitted).  For what I'm doing I would have had to pay many
thousands of dollars for a comparable product if eXist wasn't around, and
I'm not at all convinced that I would receive a better product.

 

            Okay, here's my issue.  I run long off-line processes at night
that move data from a RDMS to eXist, all told eXist is probably busy 10 to
12 hours a day.  Most of the time it's a linear process that saves one file
after another to the DB, but every now and again I have to run the processes
so that two or three are saving individual files to a collection at the same
time.  Most of the time it's not a problem, but about once a night I get a
mal-formed document saved to eXist.  It goes in correctly (I've verified
this) but when I go to retrieve it for a later processing it's mangled.  

 

Here's what it's supposed to look like:

 

<Component IDENT ="1111" Type ="5" > 

<AllocationType > 0 </ AllocationType > 

<Nomenclature > xxxxxxxx </ Nomenclature > 

<Quantity > 1 </ Quantity > 

<PartX > 1 </ PartX > 

<PartY > 1 </ PartY > 

</ Component >

 

But what I get out is:

 

<Component IDENT ="1111" Type ="5" > 

<AllocationType > 0 </ AllocationType > 

<Nomenclature > xxxxxxxx </ Nomenclature > 

<Quantity > 1 </ Quantity > 

<PartX > 1 </ PartX > 

<PartY > 1 </ PartY > 

<Component IDENT ="1112" Type ="5" > 

<AllocationType > 0 </ AllocationType > 

<Nomenclature > xxxxxx </ Nomenclature > 

<Quantity > 1 </ Quantity > 

<PartX > 1 </ PartX > 

<PartY > 1 </ PartY > 

</ Component >

</ Component >

 

My documents aren't very large (less than 1MB) and they're pretty flat and
regular.  I know this will probably be fixed as time goes on, but I need a
fix in the near term.  As a best guess, would I be vulnerable to the same
error if I were to save the documents to different collections?  Currently
the concurrent processes are all saving to the same collection.  Any insight
would be appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

Chris

BTW, is anybody else using SOAP and Tomcat?
