Hi Jos! Looks like the class org/apache/cocoon/components/serializers/util/XMLSerializer is contained in C2 cocoon-serializers-charsets, you have to add the following dependency in your pom:
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.cocoon</groupId> <artifactId>cocoon-serializers-charsets</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency> I found it in jar:file:~/.m2/repository/org/apache/cocoon/cocoon-serializers-charsets/1.0.0/cocoon-serializers-charsets-1.0.0.jar!/org/apache/cocoon/components/serializers/util/XMLSerializer.class HTH, all the best! -Simo http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 8:16 AM, Jos Snellings <jos.snelli...@upperware.biz> wrote: > Dear cocooners, > > When trying to load cocoon-optional, spring complains loudly about not being > able to find class: > > org/apache/cocoon/components/ > serializers/util/XMLSerializer > > In effect, this class is not within the cocoon distribution. > To my best knowledge, there is no sub project > cocoon-components > > The problematic declaration is: > public class EncodingXMLSerializer extends > org.apache.cocoon.components.serializers.util.XMLSerializer implements > SAXPipelineComponent, Finisher, SAXConsumer, CachingPipelineComponent { > > Can anybody shed some light upon this one? > > > Thank you ! > Jos
