Developing with XCC

XCC communicates with MarkLogic Server with a client-server architecture, where the XCC application is the client and MarkLogic Server is the server. The following figure illustrates the high-level architecture:

As shown in the diagram above, the XCC-enabled application can run on the same system as an instance of MarkLogic Server (a host), or it can run on a completely different system, as long as the two systems are networked together.

In the diagram, the XCC application running on System A has opened an XDBC connection to port x₁ on System B. On System B, MarkLogic Server is configured with an XDBC Server listening to port x₁, and that XDBC Server connects to database_d1. Consequently, the configuration shown in the diagram above allows the XCC application on System A to submit XQuery requests (including query, load, update, and delete) for evaluation against database_d1.
