Hy;

I tried to add another servlet to the cocoon webapp.
i found a HOWTO in the cocoon-wiki, but it doesn't
work (for me) as expected. I'm shure, the solution
to this is trivial, but i don't see it.

what i want to achieve:

I want to call a servlet and it's output shall be
placed into a pipeline for further processing with cocoon.
I need the servlet in the cocoon context because i want
to keep things simple (maybe a wrong assumption :-))
and i need the session context also within my servlet.

Here is what i did so far:

1.) add the new servlet spec to cocoon/WEB-INF/web.xml:

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Zoro</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.saxess.zob.Zoro</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Zoro</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*internal/app</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

  What i want here is:
  every request, that ends with "...internal/app"
  shall be mapped to the servlet "Zoro"

  How can i test, that the servlet is really called and
  executed without interfering with the cocoon sitemap?

2.) add a sitemap entry:

  <map:match pattern="**/app">
    <map:generate src="/metasearch/internal/app"/>
    ...
    <map:serialize/>
  </map:match>

  what i want here is:
  The servlet is called and it's result is streamed into the pipeline
  and  processed further ...

  Unfortunately the system does NOT attempt to call the servlet,
  but tries to load a file. i get following exception:

  Exception during processing of file:/metasearch/internal/app

  I also tried using

  <map:generate src="context::/metasearch/internal/app"/>

  although i don't uinderstand, what i'm doing there. In fact it also
  didn't work ;-(

An now i'm stuck again. OK, people, i promise you, if i get my
app finally working, i will write down all bits and peaces and
donate this to the cocoon documentation , the wiki and whatever
is reasonable.

Any comment would help again...

regards, Hussayn
