Finding XML files stored in exist-db on the file system in Linux

Question

I am running eXist-db in linux, but I am not able to find the XML files created in the file system through linux commands like find command. How can I see these XML files?

Answer 1

eXist-db doesn't store XML documents directly on the file system - in the way you are describing. It stores and manages them in database files in the $EXIST_HOME/webapp/WEB-INF/data folder. If you want to access the XML documents, one way would be to mount the drive via WebDAV. See eXist's documentation on WebDAV or search the mailing list archives for discussion about your particular WebDAV client if it's not covered in the documentation.
