Re: UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the component for hint

[Frank Wulf]

Matthew,   everything is configured as you adviced. Configuration of my Serializer takes place inside the <map:components> section. All needed classes are located in a Jar-File which is placed in the Cocoon/WEB-INF/libs directory. I also implemented a Reader class in this jar-file with the same functionality which works well - but i need a Serializer to take advantage of the Cocoon pipeline model.   Is the mentioned UnnamedSelector - error a hint that something went wrong within the sitemap-configuration or may i have missed something essential in the Serializer implementation itself?   If anybody has some tips where to find documentation about writing cocoon serializers i would be really happy. I read the Dev chapters in "Cocoon - Building XML-Applications", which is really a great book but the serializers aren't covered there ... ;-)   Frank     ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Langham To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 10:19 PM Subject: RE: UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the component for hint Frank,   have you configured your new selector into the sitemap in the <map:components> section? Have you made your implementation available to Cocoon (as a Jar in the libs directory etc.) Are all the needed Java classes available to the selector..   Matthew -- Open Source Group       Cocoon { Consulting, Training, Projects } ================================================================= Matthew Langham, S&N AG, Klingenderstrasse 5, D-33100 Paderborn Tel:+49-5251-1581-30  [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.s-und-n.de ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cocoon book:   http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735712352/needacake-20 Weblog:   http://radio.weblogs.com/0103021/ =================================================================   -----Original Message----- From: Frank Wulf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 10:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the component for hint Hi,   I'm new to Cocoon and trying to develop a little cocoon serializer to convert xml-data to binary output. However cocoon gives me the following error message:   type fatal message UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the component for hint: testser description org.apache.avalon.framework.component.ComponentException: UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the component for hint: testser sender org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet source Cocoon servlet Any hint where to search for this error? My sitemap.xmap entries are: <map:serializer mime-type="application/octet-stream" name="testser" src=""/> .... <map:pipeline>    <map:match pattern="serializer_test">      <map:generate src=""/>      <map:serialize type="testser"/>    </map:match> </map:pipeline> I looked through all the Serializer-code examples but got no clue so far.
