To all, I wrote as of 2 days ago that I was getting the malformedURI error inside Cocoon 2.1 Dev and just couldn't seem to figure out how leaving me with a crippled build.
Today I decided to take a fresh look at the error logs(access.log specifically). First I attempted Antonio's technique as follows: c:\Java\xml-cocoon2>build -Dinclude.webapp.libs=true -Dinclude.scratchpad.libs=true installwar Alas to no avail. That is when I took the fresh look at the access.log. Well to my surprise and/or not surprise with Windows XP it's consistent irritation of not following a tried and true approach to filenames, etc brought my attention to a most curious default installation path name for Apache Tomcat 4.1.12. For the life of me I cannot understand whoever develops Tomcat why they even bother to make Windows friendly Pathnames, ala "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1>" by default, instead of forcing a typical Unix convention. I group all my Java stuff under a c:\Java> top directory. So my path was c:\Java\Tomcat 4.1> (Note: Does this look conspicuous?) Well first I like my path to reflect the release of software and I must have been lazy the day I installed Tomcat. Add/Remove Tomcat and Reinstall Tomcat I gave it a brand new directory as follows: c:\Java\Tomcat4.1.2> (Note: Does this look different? It should.) Now applying Antonio's technique as follows: c:\Java\xml-cocoon2>build -Dinclude.webapp.libs=true -Dinclude.scratchpad.libs=true installwar (Note: ignore wordwrap between the -Dincludes if they appear as such, just a single space as billed) And letting the Service instantiate Tomcat and extract the WAR file I first of course touched http://localhost:8080/ to great fanfare. Then I touched cocoon root http://localhost:8080/cocoon/ and Presto!!! Success! I get a slick copy of http://localhost:8080/cocoon/documents/index.html proving that pattern matching for: <map:match pattern="documents/**"> <map:mount check-reload="yes" src="documentation/" uri-prefix="documents"/> </map:match> within sitemap.xmap works as billed, residing here: C:\Java\Tomcat4.1.12\webapps\cocoon\sitemap.xmap I cannot speak for Linux or various Unices which I would expect to be more compliant that Windows but I can speak for XP when Pathnames will bite you hard if you leave those spurious whitespaces between string names. -Marc __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
