Hi Brian, I write this for everybody. I've sent this to my brother who works with you. He said he was out at meetings this morning so I thought you might want this now.
Place all jars that torque is dependent on in your tomcat/webapps/YOURWEBAPP/WEB-INF/lib folder. Restart tomcat; it won't take affect until you do. Should work but if it doesn't it is not a Cocoon issue but happens often for people trying to apply Cocoon. Look in the tomcat/logs and you should see a file similar to "localhost_log.2002-08-19.txt". You need to shut tomcat down to be able to read this log. Start at the bottom and scroll up till you see a root cause like: ----- Root Cause ----- java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:org/apache/stratum/configuration/Configuratio n at org.aci.om.BaseEmployeePeer.<clinit>(BaseEmployeePeer.java:80) at org.aci.om.BaseEmployee.<clinit>(BaseEmployee.java:25) at org.apache.cocoon.www.content.home_xml.generate(C:\Program Files\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\work\Standalone\localhost\wita\cocoon-files\org/apa che/cocoon/www/content\home_xml.java:344) Cocoon is a servlet, period. We all are running a server such as Tomcat with the Cocoon servlet. Cocoon allows us to write documents with xml mixed with logic implemented with Java (can be nasty, can be cool, it's up to us) and let the power of Cocoon do the servlet part and serv up our dynamic pages. The server environment and dependency issues are prevalant problems people encounter when trying to apply Cocoon and because they are working with Cocoon think the problem lies in Cocoon. It lies in how the JVM that is running the whole thing finds all the pieces/parts of everything we are giving it to do. Check out the documentation at http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.0/tutorial/index.html. More on xsp import after you get up and running. The import inclusion is a convenience thing. Use the full package name temporarily.
