Hello everyone, I had some problems installing Cocoon 2.1 Dev, so I made a short how-to for anyone interested.
I got it working thanks to previous messages in the list but took me a while to figure it so maybe this post will save time to somebody. Assuming a "clean" Windows 2000 system and nothing related to Java installed. Lets go! ------------------------------------------------ 1) Download Java2 SDK Standard Edition v.1.4.1 File is j2sdk-1_4_1_01-windows-i586.exe from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html (Windows - SDK - All languages, including english) 2) Run j2sdk-1_4_1_01-windows-i586.exe SDK is now installed in c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01 3) In the Windows Control Panel, go to System / Advanced Properties and create a system variable JAVA_HOME with value "c:\j2sdk1.4.1_01" (without quotes). Now your system knows where the run-time environment (Java) is located. -> Java Software Development Kit installed, now you need the Servlet Engine. ------------------------------------------------ 4) Download Tomcat 4.1.12 File is jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14.zip from http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.12/bin/ 5) Unzip everything in directory c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14 (extract using folder names) 6) Run file startup.bat located at c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/bin Enter http://localhost:8080 in your browser and check that Tomcat (the servlet engine) is running. -> Tomcat installed, now you need Cocoon! ------------------------------------------------ 7) Download WinCVS and Download Cocoon source. That was pretty straightforward, following instructions available in http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/installing/index.html Let's assume you have now full Cocoon source (HEAD) in c:\CVS\xml-cocoon2 8) Compile Cocoon using command interface (DOS!) and type build.bat -Dinclude.webapp.libs=yes webapp from directory c:\CVS\xml-cocoon2 9) Copy file cocoon.war from c:\CVS\xml-cocoon2\build\cocoon to c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14\webapps 10) Run file shutdown.bat located at c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/bin to stop Tomcat 11) Run file startup.bat located at c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/bin to startup again Tomcat. Cocoon.war file will expand in a new directory located at c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/webapps/cocoon 12) Stop Tomcat again (run file shutdown.bat) 13) VERY IMPORTANT!!! You need to copy 3 files: xalan-2.4.1.jar, xercesImpl.jar and xml-apis.jar from C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\lib into (empty) directory c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14/common/endorsed If you don't do this step, then when you try to run Cocoon you get: message Failed to execute pipeline. description org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Failed to execute pipeline.: org.apache.cocoon.CascadingIOException: org.apache.xml.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: The output format must have a '{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}content-handler' property!: (as already mentioned by Antonio and solved by Volker) See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=103692889710176&w=2) 14) Run Tomcat again (run file startup.bat) 15) Direct your browser on http://localhost:8080/cocoon and ... it should be working.
