At the moment I am not using cocoon anymore, only Fop and Xalan, so the
following may not apply to cocoon 2.
Here is an explanation how I got Xerces to work in JRun without changing the
application (\JRun\lib\ext etc.)
At the moment I think it is easier and better for production environments
then the instructions on the cocoon 1 install pages.
sorry if not relevant,
Peter Jacobs
