Hi, I am working with HP-AS it is newly released J2EE platform app server. Cocoon cannot be deployed as WAR unless WAR is extracted!!!!!!!
Tomcat has a configuration parameter to specify if the WAR should be extracted before "usage". The default is set to "true". What does it means is that as a first step WAR is extracted then the rest of initialization happens. Internal Cocoon classpath is set, sitemap is compiled and life is beautiful. When the WAR is not extracted we have some problems. The problem is that the result of getRealPath() method is undefined and classpath cannot be correctly set and everything relying on classpath is failing - compilation of the sitemap is the first victim. In fact this problem is on my to-do list. I hope to fix Cocoon code to surpass this limitation very soon. Other minor problem is that I need to override HP-AS xalan.jar and xerces.jar with those shipped with Cocoon.
