Hi Lars,
Can you explain what is the difference between mysite and mywebapp?
Just checking because I'm not sure if mysite is a cocoon block in this case. I
can tell you sth about our current setup.
First of all our projects are situated in the same folder so any project
referencing the parent would be done like below:
<parent>
<groupId>com.nxp.spider2</groupId>
<artifactId>productinformationparent</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<relativePath>../productinformation/pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>
Below a simplified scenario of our folders:
- productinformation (parent)
- productinformationwebapp (created using the webapp archetype)
- phared (cocoon block)
- producttransformer (cocoon block with dependency on shared block)
Snippet productinformation parent.pom:
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<groupId>com.nxp.spider2</groupId>
<artifactId>productinformationparent</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>Productinformation parent pom</name>
<modules>
<module>../productinformationwebapp</module>
<module>../producttransformer</module>
<module>../shared</module>
</modules>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<!-- Apache Cocoon dependencies -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cocoon</groupId>
<artifactId>cocoon-sitemap-impl</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
....
</dependencyManagement>
In the productinformationwebapp pom.xml I list all dependencies to the
cocoon-blocks (e.g. shared and producttransformer)
In the shared pom.xml I declare dependencies to all needed cocoon jars as well
as other jars
In the producttransfomer.xml I declare again all needed cocoon dependencies as
well as other jars AND a dependency on this shared block.
To be able to use the servlet service dependency on the shared block from the
producttransformer I need to add it as a servlet connection in the spring
application context.
<bean name="com.nxp.spider2.producttransformer.service"
class="org.apache.cocoon.sitemap.SitemapServlet">
<servlet:context mount-path="/producttransformer"
context-path="blockcontext:/producttransformer/">
<servlet:connections>
<entry key="shared" value-ref="com.nxp.spider2.shared.service"/>
</servlet:connections>
</servlet:context>
</bean>
Whenever I work on a single cocoon block I change into that directory and run
'mvn jetty:run'. The cocoon maven plugin will take care that the resources
are copied over to
<webAppSourceDirectory>${project.build.directory}/rcl/webapp</webAppSourceDirectory>
and by default it will start jetty on port 8888.
Hope this helps a bit.

C) If you want to develop a complete C3 web application
You need to generate a multimodule maven project [2] with the following
structure:
myparent/
mysite/
mywebapp/
Basically, you will need this when either having multiple blocks on a single
webapp or when you want to deploy on an external web container (say Tomcat).
In the context of these instructions, which now produce for me a working webapp
shell,
where do I start developing my web application?
I expected that I could start putting sitemap.xmap, welcome.html, and other
files in
mywebapp/src/main/resources/COB-INF
I do this; and when I run
cd thewebapp
mvn jetty:run
My new sitemap etc. get copied to
mywebapp/target/classes/COB-INF
as expected.
But when I try to address any URLs in my new sitemap, e.g.
"localhost:8890/test.html", Cocoon tells me (in
mywebapp\target\work\cocoon.log) that there is no matching pipeline. But it
*does* match pipelines in the mysite sitemap (mysite\src\main\resource\COB-INF).
So then my question is, if I'm running jetty in the mywebapp folder, why is it
serving URLs from the mysite artifact's sitemap? Maybe that's by design, that
the mysite sitemap is sort of like a Cocoon 2.1 top-level sitemap, which would
"mount" the sitemaps of the various webapps?
If this is true... that Cocoon will process URLs starting from mysite's sitemap
even thought I run jetty in the mywebapp folder... then why should be in the
mywebapp folder to run jetty? What difference would it make if I was in the
myparent or mysite folder?
Trying to wrap my head around this...
Thanks,
Lars
