The extra-classpath feature in web.xml does not seem to work under Windows.
1. Absolute path Cocoon uses a non portable method when guessing whether the path is absolute or not. If I add the following to web.xml: ------ <init-param> <param-name>extra-classpath</param-name> <param-value>C:\extra-classes</param-value> </init-param> ------ This path is not recognized as absolute. The resulting classpath is (according to cocoon.log) "%tomcat%\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\C:\extra-classes" Putting an extra \ in front of the path makes turns it to "\C:\extra-classes" (which is not a valid path). 2. Relative path Relative path do not seem to work either. When I put this in web.xml: ------ <init-param> <param-name>extra-classpath</param-name> <param-value>extra-classes</param-value> </init-param> ------ A directory is apparently added to the classpath: (cocoon.log) DEBUG (2002-01-27) 17:55.48:739 [cocoon ] (Unknown-URI) Unknown-thread/Cocoon: Classpath = ...;%tomcat%\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\extra-classes But my component.class is found by Cocoon under %tomcat%\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\classes, but not under ...\extra-classes.
