[ANNOUNCE] Cocoon Training Classes in July, August
Hi all - Just a reminder that I will be giving my "Building Cocoon Applications" class July 14-17 in Colorado Springs, CO, USA. This is a four-day crash course in everything you need to know to build Cocoon-based applications. We cover sitemap logs, XSPs, logicsheets, actions, portals, authentication mechanisms, performance, administration, development & deployment techniques, custom components, Lucene and many other topics. I also have a class "Cocoon 2.1 Intensive", August 4-6. From the course description: "This course is designed first to give participants with previous Cocoon experience an overview of the new concepts and features of Cocoon 2.1, but then, more importantly, to provide then with practical and concrete principles for using this new functionality in building web applications. In particular, we will cover the 2.1 portal framework, authentication framework, flow control, modular actions, form handling, web syndication and SOAP services. The emphasis of this course is less on using all the features, and more on making effective and intelligent use of certain features in creating robust applications. Since this is an intensive course, lab time will dominate the sessions, as we take a hands-on approach to learning Cocoon 2.1." More information on these and other courses can be found at the Galatea IS Inc. training page, http://www.galatea.com/training. For those of you who don't know, I am one of the authors of the Cocoon Developer's Handbook, published by SAMS last December.

Re: Setting up cocoon at site root
Justin - You can't make webapps/cocoon your host's appBase. The appBase must point to the directory containing the web applications, cocoon being one of them. So set appBase to just "webapps", and the docBase of the default Context to "cocoon". Regards, Lajos Justin Makeig wrote: Lajos, Thanks so much for the quick response.

Re: Cocoon usage
Hi Ralph - I personally know of Cocoon being used at Sun (my client, actually), P & G and CA. I can give you more info on the first, if you are interested. My own company, Galatea IS Inc., offers commercial support for Cocoon. I actually package Cocoon with Apache and Tomcat, in a product called Az, and have support packages available. The production release of Az 2.0, coindicentally, is next Monday. If you are interested, please contact me directly.

Re: how can i get static files REALLY been processed by apache ???
Ok, there is another way. Say you have your top level directories -
images, scripts, style - under DocumentRoot, so they are served by
Apache. Then, you have specific Cocoon applications forwarded to Cocoon
in Tomcat via JkMount's:
JkMount /myapp1 ajp13
JkMount /myapp2 ajp13
etc.
Then, in the XSLs that produce the HTML in your Cocoon apps, you just
put /images, /scripts, /style for all *.gif, *.jpg, *.js, *.css files.
So, nothing will ever get routed thru Tomcat.
Luca is right that is is inefficient to use the pipelines the way I
suggest. And in fact, for galatea.com I do just what I suggest above:
all my gif, jpg, css and js references start from the root so never get
to Cocoon.

Lajos

Hey, Lajos;
i see we are all very creative people ;-)
Another cool idea how to get around the problem.
The one thing i am *really* uncomfortable with this
solution is the sequence:
1.) browser requests .img
2.) apache forwards request to tomcat
3.) tomcat forwards request to cocoon
4.) cocoon processes and redirects.
5.) apache redirects
6.) browser calls apache
7.) apache serves the file
hmm. performance again ??
i really would prefer something like:
1.) browser requests .img
2.) apache serves the file
ill need to switch on my hackers-brain-partition ;-)
Thanks again for your answers...

Hussayn,
I know it is not a smart solution, but it worked for me.
1) Setup mod_jk to redirect everything starting with "myapp" to
Tomcat/Cocoon
2) Setup an alias named "myapp-static" pointed to a directory
containing your static files
3) Use URI like "/myapp/dynamic.htlm" for dynamic content and URI
like "/myapp-static/static.html" for static content
This has the advantage of scaling up well: we have three web-servers

JkMount /cocon/* cocoon
because it redirects everything to cocoon. But apache shall

This is not complete (Indeed it can never be complete):

Re: Cocoon is complex, but worth it! Some Answers to your dilemma
Hi Robert - Ok, my turn to weigh in. First off, one first principle about any technology is that it's usability and suitability are largely subjective. Over the years, I have found that many technologies - JSP, EJBs, PHP, Perl/CGI, ActiveX, etc. - can work great if YOU like them and know how to use them EFFECTIVELY. And the same holds absolutely true with Cocoon. Sometimes you like it, sometimes you don't. For some jobs it rocks, for others a simpler approach will get the job done as well, if not better. THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE RIGHT OR WRONG. Put it another way, you cannot compare Cocoon with ActiveX, Perl, JSP or anything else - it is all apples and oranges. Though I'm a Cocoon book author, I can tell you I myself sometimes get fairly pissed with Cocoon. Only recently I was coding up a simple, though lengthy, form in Cocoon using an XSP with the formval logicsheet, when I started getting an error that I was exceeding 66535 (or whatever) bytes for a method. Gr. Luca will affirm that I was not feeling too kindly towards Cocoon that week. But in the end, (thanks to his client-side validation mechanism) I recoded and am fairly happy with the result. Should I have chosen Cocoon for this? Maybe not, actually. I probably put in more hours with this project than I would have using a JSP. But now that I'm done, I can modify the form to fit the client's changing needs much more easily than had I used a JSP. On the other hand, when I added credit-card capabilities to my site, I never even once considered Cocoon - I rolled a servlet with my own helper objects and am totally satisfied with the result. Point is, Cocoon is no magic bullet but then again, nothing is. You make an excellent point that I have to agree with: it is hard to separate the Cocoon developer from the Cocoon user. To put it another way, you have to be prepared to be a bit of a Cocoon developer to be an effective Cocoon user. Frankly, yes, that can be a deterent to adoption. If you are under the gun to get some multi-output app up and you are looking at Cocoon stricly as a user of the technology yes, you might have to learn more than you bargined for. But that is the nature of this particular beast, just like it is the nature of M$ products that you know next to nothing about how they operate (until you find yourself hacked through one of their many security holes). Again, you can't compare the two - apples and oranges. Absolutely, Cocoon is complex, and large, which I personally don't care for. But the flip side is that you can also do many, many, many things with Cocoon. If you like such complexity and flexibility, and care to take the time to work through the materials at hand (like mine and Jeremy's book ;) ), you will be happy with the results. I also must agree with you and Hussayn about the business aspect of Cocoon. Having consulted at all layers of IT, I know what people look at. And yes, Cocoon can fall short for the reasons mentioned - usability, time-to-get-running, documentation, abstraction from details, separation of developer/user knowledge, etc. Business does judge harshly, though perhaps unfairly. Certainly, we serious users will all sneer if a pile of MS sh*t is taken more seriously than Cocoon. But, then again, there is a point. MS may have the usability (or perhaps the perception of usability) edge on Cocoon. But, here is the hard part, it is NO ONE'S JOB TO CHANGE THIS. This freedom from accountability is both a strength and weakness of OSS in general. One the one hand, someone with a great idea can start something like Cocoon, but conversely there is no implicit responsibility to an end-user like you (and the others who periodically raise the same objections). If someone wants to position Cocoon for the big time and compete on the usability front with the big commercial software products, then that person/organization can do something about it. Many of the current developers and users of Cocoon don't need more than they have and are neither concerned nor required to be concerned with this debate. If you want to change it, put together a project - email me offline and let's talk. I love the idea. But that is the only way it will be done - nobody actually has the responsibility to do anything. No one involved with Cocoon has the job to capture "the minds and hearts of web publishers". If they don't want to, that's just fine.

Why not build your select statement as a string variable inside an

Re: cocoon- vs. tomcat-authentication ???
Hussayn - It really depends on what you are more familiar with. I generally prefer Tomcat's realms, both because they take less programming and also because I can easily write a custom realm when I need to (and I have had to before). Although you can use a Realm to protect an entire Cocoon webapp, you can also use it to protect specific URI patterns as well. For one client, I used a custom realm to protect one particular subdirectory. On the other hand, Cocoon authentication is great for protected specific pipelines under specific situations. The fine-grained control you have with Cocoon will fit some projects better. Regards, Lajos SAXESS - Hussayn Dabbous wrote: Hy, while browsing through the cocoon docs, i realised, that cocoon offers an authentication mechanism on it's own. Since i'm developing webapplications using tomcat i naturally use the authentication Realms provided by tomcat.

Re: sub-sitemaps with mod_webapp ...
What OS are they running on? Unfortunately, mod_webapp is, well, sort of crappy. To be more politically correct, it is a work in progress, and has been known to cause problems like you describe (especially with Netscape on Windows). Why not use mod_jk? You can't beat the tried and true. However, if you must work with mod_webapp, I suggest making cocoon the default webapp in Tomcat (path="" in the tag). That way, each "domain" appears to be its own webapp under Tomcat. Then you point mod_webapp to each specific domain. That is what I do with mod_jk on my own site.

Re: local site setup
Hi Peter - Not a dumb question at all. In fact, until recently, you had to add your own build targets to build a clean example-less distribution. But now you can do: build.bat clean-webapp or build.sh clean-webapp. This gives you a clean war file, without any samples, that you can copy to your servlet container. Once you have a running app, then I suggest that when you rebuild Cocoon from the CVS sources, you copy the libs only from the build/cocoon/webapp/WEB-INF/lib directory. That way, you get the latest code but you don't have to mess up your sitemap.xmap and cocoon.xconf. That is, unless there are changes to those files in CVS. It is also a good idea to do your own work in a subdirectory of the main cocoon installation and have your own sub-sitemap. That way, all your stuff won't get stomped on if you happen to update the main sitemap.

Re: Cocoon 2.0.3 Tomcat 4.1.10 sub sitemap problem - failed sitemap 'inheritance' - anyone seen this and have any ideas?
Which is a matter of editing

adding the following method at the end of the file and rebuilding Cocoon.
public boolean hasComponent(Object hint) {
boolean exists = super.hasComponent( hint );
if ( !exists && this.parentSelector != null ) {
exists = this.parentSelector.hasComponent( hint );

Re: Is it a good idea to avoid the use of xsp ?
Hi Gernot - Whether one method is a better or worse idea than another is largely dependent on how you implement it. Yes, XSPs do somewhat violate Separation of Concerns. And yes, you can compare XSPs to JSPs in terms of pitfalls. The fact is, that there are some things you can only do with XSPs. My own personal preference is to first look at alternatives to XSPs (like using SQLTransformer instead of XSP + ESQL logicsheet). Then, if I do use an XSP, I try to use logicsheets wherever possible. If I have blocks, I keep them TO A MINIMUM. If have more than say 2 such blocks, I typically make my own logicsheet. The extra time it takes to do this is well worth the savings in administration later on. Bottom line: there is no right or wrong way in Cocoon. Pick you approach, especially if you are comfortable with it. Just develop your own best practices to help you code cleanly and in a way that can easily be maintained later on.

How do SOAP services work in 2.1?
Quick question - I've tested out the hello.service example (in the samples/hello-world subproject from 2.1) from my SOAP client, and received back the expected XML content in the SOAP response. Then I created my own 'service', by simply having my own pipeline spit out XML. My question is: how does Cocoon know to encapsulate the response in SOAP? I've searched the source code and can't see where the logic is. Any clues appreciated.

Re: [Q] Form posting sitemap pattern...
Hi Per - If you were using the formval logicsheet and the FormValidatorAction, you'd have something like this: Here, the "newbook" pipeline is the action for your form and "books" is the pipeline for the display of books (not shown). When the "newbook" pipeline executes, the action "validator" tries to validate the posted form. If nothing was posted, or if the validation failed, execution drops outside that block to the "addbook.xsp" page, which contains your form and which uses the formval logicsheet to access info on what failed during validation. If validation succeeds, then everything inside that block gets executed which, as you can see, uses the DatabaseAddAction to insert the row in your database and then redirects the user to the "books" pipeline. Key to the DatabaseAddAction, FormValidatorAction and formval logicsheet is the descriptor file "newbook-def.xml". All these concepts are discussed in the Cocoon documentation. The main gotcha here is the formval logicsheet is a bit clumsy to use, as you have to make sure you not only display validation errors to the user, but repopulate valid fields with the data the user already entered.

Re: could not add record/mysql
Wolfgang - Make sure you change the pool name not just in cocoon.xconf but anywhere you actually use the pool, like create-empl.xsp.

Xms, Xmx, freememory and heapsize
Hi folks - In January, there was an excellent post (with the same subject line) by Peter Hargreaves describing his experiences and recommendations for setting -Xmx, freememory and heapsize. One of his recommendations was that the value of heapsize should be somewhat less than that of -Xmx (he suggested the difference could be the value of freememory, as a good rule of thumb). The logic was that Cocoon needed some free memory to run the StoreJanitor. If -Xmx and heapsize were the same, you could theoretically have a situation in which Cocoon would not have enough memory to free memory. But in some subsequent posts, I've seen it stated several times that -Xmx and heapsize should be the same. My question is whether anything changed in the 2.0.3 StoreJanitor implementation that makes Peter's suggestions irrelevant, or are they still valid? Thanks.

Debugging buggy XSL code
Hi all - At various times (or versions), I though I have seen Cocoon spit out messages about XSL errors, like "The element type "xsl:if" must be terminated by a matching end-tag". In 2.0.2, these messages come at the Tomcat console window or logs. Wouldn't it be helpful to capture these messages and add them to Cocoon error page? It would certainly help me - the "Transform error: null pointer exception" doesn't mean very much. If someone has an idea of where the change needs to be made, unless it has already been done, I'll gladly look into doing it.

Re: Java packages
You still can keep your concept of "Application". I look at Cocoon as a framework, within which my applications run. I make each application a subdirectory off the main directory, and each has its own sitemap. The benefit is that I have a "clean" sitemap, (i.e. very few map:component definitions except those that are specific to the application, like actions) and then I have a certain degree of portability. I have development and deployment copies of my website, which is comprised of 4 such applications. When I want to roll a new version of an application, I jar up the appropriate directory, copy it to the production machine and unjar. All automated, too. A traditional Servlet Spec-based application is a different paradigm from a Cocoon-based application which, obviously can only run inside Cocoon. In a way, you are comparing apples and oranges. A Cocoon-based application does have certain ties to the framework: the application sitemap must be referenced in the main sitemap and it shares WEB-INF/libs and the settings in web.xml/cocoon.xconf. Unless, of course, you write your own class-loader that picks up jars from your application directory structure.

[SUMMARY] JspReader/JspGenerator in 2.0.2
Hi all -
I've seen several rather frustrated posts from users trying to figure
out how to make JspReader and/or JspGenerator work in Cocoon 2.0.2. This
email describes how.
JspReader
Edit src/java/org/apache/cocoon/reading/JSPReader.java and replace the
following lines (119-132):
// KP: A hacky way of source resolving.
// Why context:// protocol returns not a string in URL format,
// but a system-dependent path with 'file:' prefix?
String contextDir = new
File(httpContext.getRealPath("/")).toURL().t
oExternalForm();
src = this.resolver.resolve(this.source);
String url = src.getSystemId();
if(url.startsWith(contextDir)) {
// File is located under contextDir, using relative
file name
url = url.substring(contextDir.length());
}
if (url.startsWith("file:")) {
// we need a relative path
url = url.substring(5);
}
with the following:
String url = this.source;
// -- debug info --
src = resolver.resolve(url);
System.out.println("Resolved to: " + src);
java.net.URL resURL = httpContext.getResource(".");
System.out.println(". resource is: " + resURL);
// -- end debug --
// absolute path is processed as is
if (!url.startsWith("/")) {
// get current request path
String servletPath = httpRequest.getServletPath();
// remove file part
servletPath = servletPath.substring(0,
servletPath.lastIndexOf('
/') + 1);
url = servletPath + url;
}
JspGenerator
Edit src/java/org/apache/cocoon/generation/JspGenerator.java and replace
the following lines (106-113):
src = this.resolver.resolve(this.source);
String url = src.getSystemId();
// Guarantee src parameter is a file
if (!url.startsWith("file:/"))
throw new IOException("Protocol not supported: " + url);
url = url.substring(5);
getLogger().debug("JspGenerator executing JSP:" + url);
with the following:
String url = this.source;
// absolute path is processed as is
if (!url.startsWith("/")) {
// get current request path
String servletPath = httpRequest.getServletPath();
// remove file part
servletPath = servletPath.substring(0,
servletPath.lastIndexOf('
/') + 1);
url = servletPath + url;
}
The rebuild Cocoon and replace your existing cocoon-2.0.2.jar with the
new one in build/cocoon/webapp/WEB-INF/lib.
Don't forget to copy jasper-compiler.jar from $CATALINA_HOME/lib to
WEB-INF/lib (or whatever JSP compiler you choose to use).
Finally, if you are using a sub-sitemap, any references to JSP files in
pipelines with either JspReader or JspGenerator must have the path
starting from the root cocoon context and MUST start with a leading
forward slash. Thus, if you have a sub-sitemap in a directory called
abc, with a JSP file in abc/jsps/hello.jsp, the src attribute of either
component should be something like:
src="/abc/jsps/hello.jsp"
Cheers,
Lajos

Re: Getting parameters to SQLTransformer
Hi Luca - I agree that the SPs are the way to go - when I was a DBA, I used to enforce their use all the time. What I was after here was to include sitemap/request/session parameters into the XML file during the generation phase, so that the complete query would be passed to the transformer. I have gone the XSL route before, and I guess that is what I'll stick with now.

Getting parameters to SQLTransformer
I think I know the answer, but is there any way to construct dynamic queries using SQLTransformer? Specifically, I'd like to build the where clause of my query using either a session attribute or a sitemap parameter. I've been thru the code and don't see that it can be done, but I thought I'd ask just the same ... I'm on 2.0.2.

Re: URL rewriting solution in FAQ does not do the trick
True, you are building stuff right out of the box and don't want to make configuration changes that might be overwritten when you reinstall or upgrade components. However, for production purposes, the Tomcat home and docs pages are oftentimes superfluous (just like Cocoon examples, Apache docs, etc.). At least I find them sperfluous, as do many of my clients. Hence, I typically strip off all included webapps, and make cocoon the ROOT context.

Logging problem with actions & subsitemaps?
It might be because its the end of another long weekend of work, but I'm stumped here. I've got some sub-sitemaps that use various actions like DatabaseAuthenticatorAction, etc. Problem is, none of the debug statements ever show up in the logs. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out why a login doesn't work, but I can't find ANYTHING in the logs from the DatabaseAuthenticatorAction. I haven't fiddled with any logging setttings. Am I missing something simple?

Re: Logging and Form Validation
Another point worth mentioning is complexity. I have done some sites stuffed so full of JS that things started breaking without any reason. JS has inherent flaws (in my experience) that prevent it from doing the complex sorts of things many clients need. For small-scale validation, no problem. But for complex operations, like Adam's example, I'll stick with Cocoon and have the client upgrade their servers, if need be.

Re: Logging and Form Validation
There is already an action included in Cocoon that does validation. What's nice is that you define the validation parameters in a definition files and the action takes care of applying them. I suppose you might need to define your own action to actually send the data where you want it.

Re: build target with no samples?
There is a simple way to build a cocoon.war file without the samples. We do it all the time to build our Azure product. First, you need to have a minimal sitemap somewhere in the source directory. I call mine sitemap-min.xmap (it's attached) and I put it in ./src/webapp. All I did was take the original sitemap.xmap and edit out all the crap between the tags. Then I added a new target to ./build.xml: Optionally, you can strip out extra jars and the stuff in the classes directory, if you really wanted to get it lean.

Re: hsqldb - how do I get rid of this error message (and turn off hsqldb)
I don't know PostgreSQL, but you might try putting the jar file in cocoon/WEB-INF/lib. I have found cases where cocoon doesn't have access to the jars in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib, even though it is supposed to. If that doesn't fix the problem, you'll have to post the error message.

Removing batik from Cocoon 2.0.2 build
Hi all - I've been experimenting in building a Cocoon that doesn't require an X server. I removed batik-all-1.5b1.jar from the build, along with all the svg examples in the sitemap, rebuilt and tried it. I found that in addition to these changes, the FOPSerializer needs to be commented out for Cocoon to run without an X server. When I comment it out, everything runs fine. But if I leave it in, I get an exception because FOPSerializer apparently relies on org.apache.batik.bridge.UserAgent. Is the only way for the FOP renderer to work is using batik? I don't need svg in my application, but I do need FOP. If FOP indeed needs batik, then it looks like I'm stuck with xvfb, Java 1.4 or the eteks.com version of awt. Thanks in advance.

Re: Jboss and Tomcat
Jorge - No question is stupid on this list. After all, we've all been there. JBoss is an EJB container that optionally contains an embedded version of Tomcat. Tomcat by itself is simply a servlet container. Cocoon can run under JBoss/Tomcat or just Tomcat. If you are just starting out with Cocoon, Tomcat 4.0.1 is the easiest servlet engine to start with.

Nothing wrong here. I double-checked my own stuff (I use Openwave SDK

is to change the doctype-public and doctype-system setttings for the wml

Re: pdf transformation and xml file sizes
In my experience, it is memory that is the key factor. Running with 512MB allocated to the JVM, I can produce 53 pages of PDF, but no more. I would have thought that SAX-based processing would allow you to process as much as you want, but obviously there is something with PDF documents that eliminates this advantage.

Re: How to deploy my cocoon project [Apache/Tomcat]
Hi Derek: For Tomcat 3.2.x and Apache, see http://www.galatea.com/flashguides/apache-tomcat-unix.xml For Tomcat 4.0.x and Apache, see http://www.galatea.com/flashguides/apache-tomcat-4-unix.xml There are also new instructions on building cocoon-based web apps in http://www.galatea.com/flashguides/cocoon-tips-2.xml. I'm not on the Cocoon mailing list right now, so email me directly if you have problems/questions with these instructions. Regarding your other question, my cocoon.properties are the same between my two machines. The tomcat.sh is obviously different from tomcat.bat. Do you explicitly put your database jars in the CLASSPATH path in tomcat.sh? You might also try Tomcat 4 - you don't have to edit the startup script at all. Tomcat 4 is much better at picking up and loading jars placed in each webapps WEB-INF/lib.

Re: util.xsl not found problem
Hi Trevor: You need to check the location of the logicsheet (processor.xsp.logicsheet.util.java = resource://) in cocoon.properties. I've had several occasions where I simply had to change "resource://" to "file://" and point to the where they were in the Cocoon 1.8.2 distribution. Not that it is the right way, of course, but I was in a hurry & didn't have time to figure out why.

Re: [C1] Installation woes [rant AND request] - PLEASE help!
Hi Derek: Here is my cocoon.properties.

Also, do you explicitly load mysql_comp.jar in tomcat.sh/tomcat.bat? You might try that. Edit the :staticClasspath section and add it. It really seems like cocoon is just not able to access the jar.

Re: [C1] Installation woes [rant AND request] - PLEASE help!
Sure we're still running 1.8.2; works for my site and probably will until I ever find the time to upgrade to 2.01. Basically, here is how I got it all to work (1.8.2 w/ Tomcat 3.2.2 & MySQL on both Linux & Win 98): 1) added mysql_comp.jar to Tomcat's classpath (I just edited tomcat.sh /tomcat.bat, but I suppose you could just throw it in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib 2) edited cocoon.properties and added a line to for the mysql driver: processor.xsp.pool.database.adaptor.DBMM=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver (add this after the other adaptors: note that DBMySQL is incorrect!). 3) edited cocoon.properties and added the connection info for the pool: processor.xsp.pool.database.default.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver processor.xsp.pool.database.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase processor.xsp.pool.database.default.username=myuser processor.xsp.pool.database.default.password=mypass processor.xsp.pool.database.default.maxConnections=3 processor.xsp.pool.database.default.expiryTime=360 4) restarted tomcat Let me know if this still doesn't work & I can send you copies of the actual files.

Re: Cocoon 1.8.2 and jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1
Sure it does. What configuration is causing you problems? You still need to copy the cocoon 1.8.2 jars (xeres, xalan, cocoon, fop, servlet) to $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib, and edit the web.xml of whatever web app you want to cocoonize, but it is still a straightforward process.

Re: Where to put libs in Tomcat 4.0.1 (without using .war)
Jorn: I have the same problem, and you're better off copying the relevant stuff from cocoon's WEB-INF to each web app's WEB-INF. In particular, make sure you include all the libs you need (consult the docs for which ones are optional) and create the logs directory. You also, of course, need the contents of cocoon's web.xml file. And then don't forget sitemap.xmap and cocoon.xconf. I've been doing this for a while, and it seems to work. In fact, I've rolled it into a web app deployment structure so I can reuse the configuration whenever I need it. I suppose it's theortically possible to put all the jars in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib and reference them individually via the extra-classpath tag in web.xml, but I've never tried it.

Re: How to deploy my cocoon project ?
If you're not using %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapp\ROOT, you could either rename "cocoon" to "ROOT", and restart Tomcat, or edit %TOMCAT_HOME%\conf\server.xml and point the docBase for the "" context to webapps/cocoon. Either way, you remove the offending "cocoon" from the URL.

Problem with RequestAction ... grrr ...
Hi folks, I'm be experimenting with passing in parameters to SQLTransformer and not having much luck. First, I tried this: My sqltest.xml file looks like this: http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0";> Hello This is my first Cocoon2 page filled with sql data! http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0";> select id,name from department_table where id = And it works just fine. Now, what I really want to do is pass in the "id" parameter via a request parameter: http://localhost:8080/cocoon/paramsql?id=1. So I tried this: But the "id" parameter is always missing when it gets to the SQLTransformer (so it throws up at the replaceCharWithString line). My understanding of the RequestParamAction is that it will post all the request parameters to the pipeline. Wouldn't this make it the same as if I explicitly declared the "id" parameter in the sitemap? Thanks in advance.

Re: Cocoon + Tomcat + Apache
Hi Simone, You have a few options: 1) To remove the port 8080, you can use mod_webapp/mod_jk so that Tomcat can 'hide' behind Apache. 2) To remove the "cocoon", you can do one of two things: 2a) Rename cocoon.war to ROOT.war and restart Tomcat. This will make cocooon the default web application on Tomcat. Make sure, of course, that you don't already have something in the ROOT application! 2b) Again, if you don't have anything in the ROOT application on Tomcat, you can simply edit Tomcat's server.xml and set the docBase for ROOT to /cocoon; i.e: This is usually my first choice. 3) Then you'll have to map either the whole cocoon context or something like all *.xml files to Tomcat. Depends on what connector method you use (which in turn, depends on what versions of everything you're using). This is where you have to decide what should be served where. My site gives more details on the above. You'll just have to start experimenting like we are all doing here ;) Lajos galatea.com Simone Gianni wrote: > Hi all .. > > I'm trying to combine cocoon-tomcat with apache in a way that > instead of typing > http://www.mysite.com:8080/cocoon/something/somethingelse i can simply > use http://www.mysite.com/something/somethingelse do you know if > there is any document describing how to do this?

Re: cocoon + tomcat in window2000 services
Hi Ling, What version of Cocoon 2 are you running? I've run 2.0rc1 with Tomcat 3.2.2 after deleting both parser.jar and jaxp.jar, and copying xerces_1_x_x.jar from the Cocoon2 build directory to %TOMCAT_HOME%\lib. That did the trick for me.

Re: Deploying xml pages/resources
Hi Allan: I'm not sure what you are trying to do. If it is simply to process XML files using your old XSLs, look at the examples in the cocoon sitemap.xmap (like the hello.html one). All you have to do is add a similar entry for your own stuff. Then put your files under the cocoon webapp (according to the locations you specified in the sitemap entry) and start testing. If you want to use Cocoon2 in another web application, you'd essentially have to replicate the bulk of what's in your cocoon web app. I'm putting an entry in my Cocoon2 Tips & Tricks Flashguide (http://www.galatea.com/flashguides/cocoon-tips-2.xml) describing how I've done this. Check back early next week if you are interested. If I've missed the intent of your question, let me know.

Re: session and xsl
Mark:
AFAIK, Tomcat does not by default share session across web applications.
If you want that, you need Tomcat 4.0 and then you need to put all web
applications in the same Realm object. You might want to take a look at
the description of the tag in the Tomcat 4.0 documentation. If
you don't have it on your machine, you can view mine at
http://galatea.com/docs/tomcat40/config/host.html. Look for the section
on "Single Sign On".
Hope that helps.

Re: Cocoon 1.8.2 and mySQL/ ESQL - hanging?
Hi Derek: Maybe the JDBC jar came with your version of MySQL? I downloaded mine from http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/Contrib/mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c.tar.gz. I then had to edit tomcat.bat/sh so it could find the jar file. I initially developed my app on Win98 and then ported it to Linux, but I didn't have your problem. You're right about the supplied esql examples. All you have to do is change the parameters to those of your MySQL database and create the test table there. Or you can change the esql example to point to an existing table in your database. You might also try what Marty suggested first in the last post on this thread. SOP is to delete tomcat's work diretory for the cocoon webapp ($TOMCAT_HOME/work/localhost/cocoon) when you fix an error and want to restart Tomcat and test again.

Re: Cocoon 2, Tomcat 4 and Apache Server
Hi Pater: mod_jk is the 'glue' that Apache uses to talk to Tomcat. With Tomcat 4, many people are using mod_webapp, which is a newer module. I have posted mod_jk instructions (using Tomcat 3.2.x) on my web site, and I'll be posting mod_webapp instructions there this week as well.
