Thanks for your answer.

I am only the second day working with Iona and I haven't seen a single
config param about extracting before running :(

Other problems start when Cocoon tries to create log files inside of
WEB-INF/ directory, which will be inside of an archive :(

This kind of problems must be fixed before releasing C2.0, because
specification does not require the WAR file to be extracted before running
the application and several servers extract the archive into a temporary
work folders then it results in problems with Cocoon.

In my case, I had to evaluate Cocoon to be used in our commercial product,
which must be easily deployable to most popular App Servers, including Iona
iPortal 3.0 and WebLogic 6.1.

I've seen a lot of messages about problems with WL 6.1 too. I tested C2.0
only with WL 6.0 sp1 and Cocoon worked after replacing the parser.

I never had problems only with Tomcat 3.2.1, Tomcat 3.3 and Tomcat 4.0. To
make Cocoon a really useful tool supporting only Tomcat is not enough. It's
used very rarely on production servers.
