Hi I installed Cocoon-1.8.1-dev on Tomcat/4.0-m5 (standalone mode) and recognized that everything I do, Cocoon is unable to locate its cocoon.properties. My configuration is as below: [conf/web.xml] ------------------------------ ... <!-- The XML page compiler and execution servlet --> <servlet> <servlet-name>org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>properties</param-name> <param-value>cocoon.properties</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> ... <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.xml</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> ... ------------------------------ Cocoon works fine, unless I put it into an webapp, but then I can only access .xml file by an sub directory like /cocoon and deeper. But I want to have cocoon served .xml files even if they are in any other sub directory (e.g. /index.xml, /about/project.xml). What's wrong and what can I do???
