XPERT features and installation


January 25 2001 Dongwook Shin

Welcome! I am pleased to provide XPERT - an XPath based query language Evaluation and Retrieval Tool to you. I am trying my best to upgrade the features and fix the known bugs. XPERT (XPath based query language Evaluation and Retrieval Tool) is a Java software pursuing a flexible XML content management. It allows multiple types of XML documents to be indexed together and to be retrieved in an efficient way. The highlight features it provides are:

 

The installation is very simple. You can you XPERT in just three steps:

    1. First, as the current version of XPERT uses Xerces parser (Xerces version 1.1.2 has a problem in parsing XML files on Windows (at July 13 2000), so please use another version on Windows), you have to download the parser from the Apache XML site and add the xerces.jar to your CLASSPATH.
    2. Unzip or untar the XPERT donloaded file and add xpert.jar in lib directory to your CLASSPATH
    3. Read the APIs and use the classes as you want. You can get a hint how to write a code from examples directory.
    4. GUI examples use Swing and Xalan. So please download the Java Swing (From SUN) and Xalan (From Apache) and add the jar files to your classpath

If you have any question, feel free to ask me at dwshin@futurexpert.com
