Hi Gerhard, thank you for your advice on using jar to edit war files... I removed the xalan, xerxes and batik jar (and the xml-apis.jar) from cocoon.war and installed it into jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/webapps (after removing the jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/webapps/cocoon directory)
I started tomcat (which works fine) but when I tried to access http://localhost:8080/cocoon/ this is what I got: ++++++++++++++++ Cocoon 2 - Internal server error type fatal message Error compiling sitemap description org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Error compiling sitemap: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError sender org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet source Cocoon servlet request-uri /cocoon/ path-info stack-trace org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Error compiling sitemap: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at org.apache.cocoon.sitemap.Handler.run(Handler.java:295) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) Caused by: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SAXSVGDocumentFactory.(Unknown Source) at org.apache.cocoon.xml.dom.SVGBuilder.(SVGBuilder.java:86) at org.apache.cocoon.serialization.SVGSerializer.(SVGSerializer.java:95) ... +++++++++++++++++ As mentioned before, I followed all the instructions given for building (under jdk1.4) and installing (under Tomcat 4.0.3) that were given on the Apache cocoon install page. Any further suggestions?
