Reading collections in an embedded instance

[karanjit cheema]

I am trying to read xml files through a java application.
After creating an instance of the database, i am doing
DatabaseManager.getCollection(xmldb:exist///db/shakespeare/plays,"admin"," ");
this doesnt seem to work as it returns a null collection.
where do i have to place the xml files and what should i pass as the
paramete to the getCollection method??

Since you attempt to use our example data set, you need to put the files in /db/shakespeare/plays ......
The method probably returns 'null' if you attempt to access a non existing collection.
