flexrep-client

Provides a Java web application that mimics a replica FlexRep server in order to process CRUD of documents to a file-system, RDBMS or any other target.

Adheres to the Java Servlet 3 specification. Running this on Tomcat 8 would be the safest bet since it is what is was written on.

Simply point MarkLogic Flexible Replication to http://://. The servlet responds to the apply.xqy POST.

Setup

The latest version contains a MarkLogic Query Console workspace: Flexrep-config-workspace.xml

Import this workspace into your QC and then you'll be able to Create the needed Databases, FlexRep XCC App Server, and related Modules/Triggers DBs for use when testing the Flexrep client Servlet.

Configuration

There are 2 files that need to be modified from the defaults: web.xml and flexrep-client.properties

web.xml
