[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear David Sorry for writing in
private, but I do not want to clutter the mailing list. [David] I think it is better to
use the mailing list, other users, that may have the same problem, will benefit
also. I seem to miss something. Let me repeat the steps I think you meant
in your reply : 1. From the cocoon
dist, compile the source. 2. Now I have the build
directory with the examples, doc and all. 3. Add a new Tomcat
Project in Eclipse. 4. link all the jars in
the Coccon_Build\WEB-INF\LIB to the Eclipse new project's class-path. Opened questions : 1. As
Eclipse already create a "WEB-INF\SRC" directory - what should I do
in your step 2 ? [David]The WEB-INF/src and WEB-INF/classes folders are
just for code in custom components. 2. As
Eclipse compile all sources in "WEB-INF\SRC" directory into a
"WEB-INF\CLASSES" directory - what should I do in your step 3 ? 3. What about the web.xml, the xmap and conf files that are
compiled in the "Coccon_Build\WEB-INF" directory ? are they not
needed ? [David] Of course they are needed. Cocoon is a
regular servlet app and any servlet needs a web.xml file. Look at the servlet
specification, specially its directory structure, it is quite simple Sorry for my ignorance in the matter :) [David] If you are using Java 1.4, put in tomcat/common/endorsed/
the following files provided with Cocoon:

Perez Carmona, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have
managed to use Cocoon 2.1.x under Eclipse 2 and Eclipse 3, with Tomcat and the
Sysdeo plugin, I haven’t done anything special, just 1. adding
WEB-INF/lib/*.jar to the CLASSPATH, 2. set the source
files in WEB-INF/src and 3. the output
folder to WEB-INF/classes. Maybe you have misconfigured the Sysdeo plugin. De: Elad Messing
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello
again !
After reading a bit about cocoon, while looking for a framework for a
multi-profile (client profiles) web application framework, I have decided to
delve deeper into Cocoon.
BUT (there is always a but)
I am bugging you to understand better how I should build my environment.
I would like to use Tomcat. This I managed to do. I have build Cocoon
and copied the directory to my Tomcat's "webapps"
directory. All the examples works.
Now I would like to develop - for this I use Eclipse. When I
need to develop on tomcat - I use the "Sysdeo" Plugin - this allows
me to develop, deploy and debug my code my local Tomcat.
Good.
Now Cocoon.
Usually when I develop code with a framework (I.E. Tapestry)
- I add a new "Tomcat project" , add some framework
libraries/resource files/etc to my Eclipse project, add some of my own
application code, compile, and using the Plugin - connect it to Tomcat running
in Eclipse - for testing.
When I went through the Eclipse related documentation for
cocoon - I saw some notes about building it under Eclipse, but failed to really
understand what is needed to build an Eclipse environment to develop cocoon
based applications. I have already built cocoon (outside Eclipse), and now have
the binaries. Now what ?
I have went through the following resources :
1. http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/LoadInEclipse -
Where I managed to import all of the cocoon source into an Eclipse project. Not
sure this is needed….
2. http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/GetStarted?action=""> -
Where I tuned my "Sysdeo" Plugin to work with my Tomcat, and also
installed some XML related plugins.
3. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=105472994930132&w=2 -
Where I didn't understood where to start.
So basically my question is : What steps should I follow in
order to have an Eclipse project, with the needed libraries/files/etc where I
can add my own application files, and use the Eclipse-Tomcat Plugin to have it
running in Tomcat in a way that I can also debug it.
It looks like I might be missing something big here - So any
help will be appreciated..
Thanks Elad Messing
