It sounds like you're talking about using xsp to create actions, which I haven't done. However, there seem to be enough mingled concepts in your questions that perhaps straightening those out will be all you need:

Actions are one of the easiest custom components to write in cocoon (only one method in the interface). > > What i don't know is: > > where to place my java code that cocoon finds and > compiles it. When? At build time? I'm not sure but I think anything under the src/java directory gets compiled. You don't need to do that, though. You only need a few jars on the classpath (cocoon and avalon framework) what they're called exactly depends on what version you have. But if you've been trying this as an xsp, then what java files? > how to use sitemap parameters inside the action Do you mean how to get at the parameters inside the <map:act> tag? (you use the org.apache.avalon.framework.parameters.Parameters reference passed in to the act method)or how to return the results of your action to the sitemap (you simply place them in a HashMap as key-value pairs and return the HashMap from the act method)? > where to place paramters - inside generate or act huh? no generate in an action. what do you mean place? > what the difference is between > xsp-request:get-parameter and this looks up the named parameter from the request object - meaning it came in from a GET or POST > <xsp:expr>parameters.getParameter(... this uses the parameters reference passed to act to get at <map:act type="myAction"><map:parameter name="myParam>value</map:parameter></map:act> see above. > > Since I changed xsp to action I have nothing but > trouble especially that Do you mean you had a generator written in xsp that now you are trying to rework as an action using the action logicsheet? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
