one more bit of potentially useful information - when i start from scratch with a clean webapp tree, i note that cocoon-files directory created in the servlet's temporary work area, the only directories that are created are cache-dir and upload-dir - the org directory which normally serves as the root of the classpath for the dynamically generated sitemap and xsp classes is never created.
so something seems to be going wrong when cocoon reaches the end of the cocoon.xconf file and tries to load sitemap.xmap. i just tried copying in the vanilla cocoon.xconf file from cocoon-2.0.1 and saw no change in behavior (my only mods had been adding a client-specific logicsheet, adding a data source, and changing the sitemap reloading to synchronous). - donald --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
