The root servlet should be mounted at "" not "/". Alexander had the same
problem. So even if I find the current behavior intuitive, no one else
seem to agree ;). So we should probably have special handling of "/" as
you suggest.
I just tested "" configuration and it does exactly what I was looking
for, uh ! Although having special handling of "/", if found acceptable
in term of coding, could be valuable for dummy users like I :O) or those
who won't read the docs.
Talking about documentation, would this:
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/cdocs-site-main/g2/1291.html
be the place where the block protocol and configurations like these
could be best described ?

As of my tests a block configured to handle "root" sitemap does only
strictly answer to / resource call. The rest of its context seems to
be inaccessible.
Thus, for instance, if a block testblock1 is configured to handle
"root" sitemap and should serve:
a welcome page at /
some content at /contact.html
some resources at /images/**
only the welcome page at / from this block testblock1 will be
accessible (with all references to resources,... failing).
Looking at the org.apache.cocoon.blocks.DispatcherServlet source, this
behaviour is due to the way the service() method chooses which block
(Servlet) to dispatch to:
Added>>>>
// HARDCODED for root sitemap could be made configurable !?
private static final String DEFAULT_SERVLET = "/";
<<<<Added
protected void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse
res) throws ServletException, IOException {
(...)
while (servlet == null && index != -1) {
path = path.substring(0, index);
servlet = (Servlet)this.mountableServlets.get(path);
index = path.lastIndexOf('/');
}
Added>>>>
// If no servlet were found try to delegate call to DEFAULT_SERVLET
if (servlet == null) {
servlet = (Servlet)this.mountableServlets.get(DEFAULT_SERVLET);
}
<<<<Added
if (servlet == null) {
throw new ServletException("No block for " + req.getPathInfo());
}
(...)
}
WDYT ? Any caveheat I overlook ?
