Re: Re: Antwort: RE: Calling C2 from command line: problem with Oracle driver
Hello list, Why would you want to run Cocoon without Tomcat? What can Cocoon do without a servlet engine? It is possible because Cocoon2 is made on an abstraction that can make it interface with different containers. Currently there are two abstactions (Environment) available: command line and servlet. So yes, it can function on itself, no, it can't respond to http requests by itself for now. Command line executes all the things in the sitemap and generates the resulting files on the filesystem. Once again, to make it clear, what I want to achieve... I have built a web application, which presents the informations concerning a life insurance contract on our intranet. The web page is called like //http:server/cocoon/Contract.xsp?contract_id=1234567 For looking at single contracts everything is fine. But now I want to generate all these info sheets for many hundreds of contracts and send the results to an other department, which has no possibility to access our intranet. Therefor I want to call Cocoon with a todo list, which could look like this: Contract.xsp?contract_id=1112234 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1112236 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1112237 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1112324 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1123534 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1467301 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1668709 ... Now Cocoon has to generate the html files for each uri and save it somewhere. My intermediate results are: 1) Cocoon can be called from the command line by using the run.sh script in the Cocoon root directory. 2) It is possible to configure the Cocoon call with parameters. Execute sh run.sh -h for a list of Parms and options. 3) I have configured the run time environment in a way, that the command line version takes the same sitemap files and web application files as the servlet version called by tomcat. And now there is only one question left: How can I tell the command line environment to load and initialize the classes needed for the Oracle database access? In the servlet version this is done be specifying an init-param in the web.xml file with the param-name load-class. And here I'm stuck! I think, the implementation of the class org.apache.cocoon.Main needs some extension, to give a possibility to the user to achieve the same things, as init-param in web.xml does in the servlet case.

Hi, Have you looked at the way that Cocoon generates it's own documentation from a commandline invocation? This may be what you are looking for in terms of generating off-line content.

RE: Calling C2 from command line: problem with Oracle driver
Hi Christoph, To get oracle working, you must first add a section to load the oracle driver class in the web.xml file. Be certain that the Oracle driver Jar file is in your servlet engine's classpath. web-app servlet servlet-nameCocoon2/servlet-name init-param param-nameload-class/param-name param-value oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver /param-value /init-param ... /servlet /web-app Then in the cocoon.xconf configuration file you must specify a datasource such as: datasources jdbc name=mydata pool-controller min=5 max=10 oradb=true/ dburljdbc:oracle:thin:@myserver.mydomain.com:1521:myInstance/dburl userscott/user passwordtiger/password /jdbc /datasources Finally, you can either use the connection in an XSP page or pass a Query in XML to the SQL transformer as part of a pipeline in your sitemap: map:transform type=sql map:parameter name=use-connection value=fp/ map:parameter name=show-nr-of-rows value=false/ /map:transform HTH, Aaron -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 6:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Calling C2 from command line: problem with Oracle driver Hello, I'm working with Cocoon2.0-rc1a and Tomcat 3.2.3 on a Linux-Server. With Tomcat everything is fine, but yesterday I tried to call Cocoon from the command line. I did not find any documentation on command line parameters and options, only the definition of COCOON_LIB and COCOON_WORK environment variables in run.sh. After some hours my Cocoon command line environment nearly works, but there is a problem left: I can not get the Oracle JDBC (thin) driver to work. I think it has do do with the missing initialization of the JDBC driver class. When Cocoon is called from Tomcat, there is a configuration file called web.xml in the WEB-INF directory, where the initial parameters - like load-class - are defined. What is the right way to specify these settings for command line execution? Many thanks in advance Christoph PS: How can I specify directories, like the application directory, which is assumed to be ./webapp etc. - Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Antwort: RE: Calling C2 from command line: problem with Oracle driver
Hi all, thank you Aaron, for the desription how to use Oracle from within Cocoon (and Tomcat!). This also works in my environment. My question is: I want to call Cocoon2 from then command line WITHOUT Tomcat. There is a run.sh file in the Cocoon root directory, which starts Cocoon with a stand alone java-cmd. No Tomcat! In this case, Cocoon makes some assumptions, e.g. where the applications are (./webapp), where the work-dir is, etc. I wonder, where I can set these parameters. Also I wonder, where the settings can be done, which are normally set in the web.xml file of Tomcat, like the init-param named load-class (because there is no Tomcat in command line operation). web-app servlet servlet-nameCocoon2/servlet-name init-param param-nameload-class/param-name param-value oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver /param-value /init-param ... /servlet /web-app So, in other words, my problem is: how can I set up an environment for starting Cocoon stand alone which is compatable to my Tomcat environment. Did anybody run Cocoon2 from the command line already Any reports are appreciated! The background for my request is the following: I have written an application sampling together data concerning a life insurance contract from several SQL-databases with the esql-taglib in a xsp:page, which is then transformed to html. Now I want to run this application for many cases and send the final html-pages to an other department.
