It sounds like you have not understood the basics of Forrest. In a new directory, somewhere away from the Forrest sources, type: forrest seed-basic This gives you a very minimal seed site with all the configuration files. forrest run Have a look around, tweak things, see the effect. In your forrest.properties file, add "Daisy" as another required plugin. Now you can start to build up your Daisy-based Forrest project. Get ideas from Forrest's Daisy Plugin website, as Ross suggested. This is a simple Forrest project site that demonstrates the capabilities. See its configuration files, especially the forrest.properties* files and the locationmap.xmap files. If you are using the current SVN trunk of Forrest (0.9-dev) then 'cd $FORREST_HOME/whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.Daisy'. You can do 'forrest run' there to see the demo in action. You would need to change the port number for your own Forrest project to be able to run the both at once. Search the FAQ for "jetty.port". Get other ideas from Apache Cocoon's use of Forrest/Daisy for their v2.1 docs. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/whiteboard/daisy-to-docs See escpecially the forrest.properties* files and the src/documentation/locationmap-daisy-include.xml file. Daisy is in the "whiteboard", so we really should be discussing it on the Forrest "dev" mailing list. By the way, please do not append disclaimers to your email footers. They have no bearing in a public forum. -David
