how to use xindice?

[yuntailyg]

I copy the xindice.war to the directory of c:\tomcat5\webapps and the directory xindice is created .
But the command line put the error information as below:
C:\Tomcat5\webapps\xindice\WEB-INF>xindice lc -c /db

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xindice/tools/XMLTools

sometimes gives the error information as this:
C:\xindice-1.1b4\bin>xindice lc -c xmldb:xindice://localhost:8080/db
WARNING: The environment variable XINDICE_HOME is not set.
Defaulting to C:\xindice-1.1b4\bin\..
trying to register database

system

what's wrong with my operation? can you give me the hints? Thanks a lot !

Sorry if this has already been answered. The error should be with your classpath and environment variables. This usually pops up when you have unrecognized JAVA_HOME and/or XINDICE_HOME variables. Your XINDICE_HOME should point to the directory where you installed XINDICE and so it is with JAVA_HOME.

If you are using Windows, there is a chance you may have used the ";" semicolon character in these two variables which does not let proper substitution of the variables. Also there could be the white space problem in the file path.
