Don, What is it exactly that doesn't work? I'm using Xindice and Cocoon together on Tomcat (4.1) and jdk14 and what I've discovered is that you need to use the Xerces jar from Xindice (2.2.1 I think) in both Cocoon, and Tomcat underneath (meaning put it in $TOMCAT_HOME/common/endorsed). All of this is assuming that you're problem is a Java exception being thrown when you try to execute the update statements.
Sorry if this wasn't what you were looking for. /S Don Saxton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hi > >I have a good start in putting xindice 1.1b together with cocoon 2.04 (jdk >1.4 tomcat 4.1.18), but I am really stuggling with Xupdate. > >I got this far by using the experiences of several people on this list. >Thank you greatly.
