John Blumer said: > Maybe the file is corrupt. How do I do a clean install, please. It's in install.txt, but having just done that yesterday on my XP box (I do use Cocoon on my Linux systems too) I did ./build clean to remove the existing build, then ./build [option] where option is optional and represents whatever build target you want to use. I personally usually don't specify a build target. No point unless you're deploying to a different box and want everything in a handy war file. I'm wondering if there's something missing in your classpath or $JAVA_HOME environmental variables. That has been a big problem for me on multi-user systems where the administrator hasn't set $JAVA_HOME globally, or properly. Note too that I'm still just learning Cocoon.

Re: does cocoon support css

CSS is an HTML helper widget, designed to overcome some of the shortcommings of HTML. It's actually your browser that uses the CSS data, not the document as in a PDF. Unless Acrobat Reader or whatever can use an HTML stylesheet, you should actually use XSL:FO to render the PDF. Just a note though, very often I have to render a report in HTML that the user wants to see or save in PDF. I've found that it's usually best to re-design the document in the PDF format so that it looks more like a form than a web page. I simply use XSL:FO in order to accomplish that. The XSL contains all of the style information, and it can be as similar to the way you want the HTML to look, or as completely different as the use of the document dictates.

I agree, Cocoon is a complex tool, with a very steep learning curve that has given me some difficulty, partly because of having to build from source. But I see Cocoon as a work in progress, and at the most as a framework rather than a finished product so this has actually given me a bit of a better insight into what is going on in my system. I've also been able to give it a visual style IDE, and a fairly good set of debug tools by mounting a Cocoon webapp folder in a NetBeans project. It seems to be seemless. There are things happening over in OpenOffice.org that seem to have the potential to give NetBeans and therefore any mounted Cocoon project, a WYSIWIG XML document editor too if you really want that.

If there aren't any docs anywhere, maybe I can provide them. For myself, I just tried it to see, and it worked in both Linux and Windows. All I did was build the cocoon build from the command line, but did not tell the build script to make a webapp. The script creates the webapp directory in the cocoon build directory that contains the entire "project". I usually copy it to a "projects" directory where I keep my current development stuff, but it's not necessary to do that. Simply mount that directory as the filesystem of your project. It takes a bit of time initially, for Netbeans to parse all of the .jar files, but it's instantly recognized as a webapp, and as long as you don't create any conflicts with Xerces, it works like a champ.

Oh, one thing I forgot. I had to edit NetBeans XML file types in the options so that it edited an xmap file as XML instead of text. Maybe one or two other extensions too, but you only have to do that once. When I get home I'll be able to tell exactly what extra settings I made - there were only 3 or 4 at the most.

Cocoon seems to be nothing more than a sophisticated servlet, so basically I just run it from the run icon in the toolbar. Select either the project webapp directory or the project itself in the explorer and click the run icon. You can also right click on the project's webapp directory and make a war file directly, for deployment.

[SNIP] > Now, out of curiosity since we have to live in the here and now for a > bit, what did you find hard about building cocoon from source? Just to be clear, I did not have a *bad* experience with it, I just had some extra things that I had to learn before I got Cocoon to work the way I wanted... Things like, what blocks I want to include, and what blocks I want to exclude. The net result of having to consider this is that I understand Cocoon a little more than when I simply downloaded and installed a binary. I think in fact that now that I feel more comfortable with the process that I will probably continue to use the source release even when a pre-compiled alternate is available again.

It is theoretically possible. You could remove the jar files from the lib directory that you have the source code for, and moving the source files into the classes directory of the build in their correct packages. Then it should be possible. It would be a lot like reverse engineering though. It would be probably a lot easier to have a build script that included moving the sources into these packages instead of building jar files.

Hi Stephanie, I'm afraid you have some reading to do. This is a very big issue that can't really be handled by e-mail. You do not have to encrypt the password on the Cocoon side, in fact you shouldn't. What you should do instead is let the LDAP server authenticate your user based on the information you pass. You'll need an API to do this. At the moment the best choice is the JLDAP api available from Novell. http://developer.novell.com/ndk/ldap-index.htm. There are code examples as well, so you can see how things are done, but I suggest reading the documentation quite carefully.
