The URL of the XML page that helped us so much is: http://tecfa.unige.ch/guides/xml/cocoon/install-notes-2-simple.xml
N.B.: It's an XML page with CSS2, so you will need an up-to-date web browser to view it. Mozilla 0.9.8 and Opera 6.0 TP 3 do the job for Linux, eg. Generating just a jar file, instead of a war file has to do with the build command as given in the XML page: ./build.sh -Dinclude.webapp.libs=yes webapp To produce a war file, you say: ./build.sh -Dinclude.webapp.libs=yes -Dinstall.war=$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps webapp That's the only point that might be a little misleading in Daniel's installation instruction. It should be possible to get it all working with the jar file only, though, by copying it into $CATALINA_HOME/lib, and -- maybe -- creating a webapp directory for cocoon. (Haven't tried that, here). Regarding your 404 error: Out of the box Tomcat is listening on port 8080, not 8180. Could this be it? Of course, you can change that... Note: We haven't got *all* the examples working. Most of them do, others, like the SVG example, don't. Nevertheless, we consider a huge step forward! 8-) Hope that helps, Peter Peter Flynn wrote: > Peter Baer writes: > >>Dear Daniel, >> >>thank you for making this info public.
