thanks for all the help on the questions. i'm still experimenting & digesting, so thanx!
meanwhile i also fooled around & found an answer to my cocoon prob: > i get a SQLException when tomcat loads cocoon, complaining about > the 'cocoondb.properties'. It is a File I/O error (and yes, i *presume* this is only a prob in the RPM distro: i had to: % chmod a+w $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/db/cocoondb.* % chmod a+x $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/db/cocoondb.script (then of course i had to reset my modified=no flag in the cocoon.properties file because tomcat4 blew prior load) hope this helps some poor rpm user out there... i'll try to follow-up with cocoon people when i get a chance...
