Richard, I'm not using quite the latest version from CVS, but close to it. I just haven't gotten around to checking out the latest version and building it.
I've never gone after the snapshots, but have always checked it out of cvs. Since I am on Windows/2000 Pro, getting a reasonable version of CVS is somewhat problematic. I have found jCVS (http://www.jcvs.org/) to be a reasonable GUI interface that works well. One of these days I'll install CVS in cygwin and then I'll be much happier. Once you check out xml-cocoon2 from the CVS repository, you'll need to build it. In 2.1, the library structure has changed a little bit, and you now need to put local jars (jfor, activation, jndi, etc.) in xml-cocoon2/lib/local. Once you have your local jars in place, you can build the war package with: build -Dinclude.webapp.libs=yes -Dinclude.scratchpad.libs=yes -Dinstall.war=%TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps webapp (I prefer to copy the war in by hand). You may not have TOMCAT_HOME set, so use CATALINA_HOME instead.(Should this be mentioned in the build docs?) Cocoon should deploy nicely on Tomcat and be accessible via http://localhost:8080/cocoon/. You'll notice that the 2.1-dev software maps you to the documentation by default. To get to the samples, just go to http://localhost:8080/cocoon/samples/. I just checked my version of the portal application, and the portal comes up correctly. I have not stress tested it, since I am nowhere near that point in my development cycle. Please note that since you are dealing with bleeding edge development software, there are examples and functionality that may be temporarily broken. That's the price you pay for being at the edge. That said, I have found that as time progresses Cocoon 2.1 gets more and more robust. Sounds like the Apache and Cocoon teams have a great model for development. I am continually impressed with the software that has been made available from the Apache organization. /mde/ just my two cents . . . . __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
