How to Configure an eXist Data Source

The latest instructions on how to configure eXist support in Oxygen XML Developer can be found on our website.

Oxygen XML Developer supports eXist database server versions 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5.

  1. Go to menu Preferences > Data Sources.
  2. Click the New button in the Data Sources panel.
  3. Enter a unique name for the data source.
  4. Select eXist from the Driver type combo box.
  5. Press the Add button to add the eXist driver files.

    The following driver files should be added in the dialog box for setting up the eXist datasource. They are found in the installation directory of the eXist database server. Please make sure you copy the files from the installation of the eXist server where you want to connect from Oxygen.

    • exist.jar
    • lib/core/xmldb.jar
    • lib/core/xmlrpc-client-3.1.x.jar
    • lib/core/xmlrpc-common-3.1.x.jar
    • lib/core/ws-commons-util-1.0.x.jar
    Note: For eXist database server version 1.5 and 2.0, the following driver files must also be added in the dialog box for setting up the datasource:
    • lib/core/slf4j-api-1.x.x.jar
    • lib/core/slf4j-log4j12-1.x.x.jar
    • lib/core/slf4j-simple-1.x.x.jar

    The version number from the driver file names may be different for your eXist server installation.

  6. Click the OK button to finish the data source configuration.
