Page: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=BeginnerInstallation, version: 30 on Thu Feb 6 22:58:52 2003 by Dabbous - ''by Robert Simmons Jr.'' + Please look at the page [BeginnerDeployOnAppServer] for further infos about deploying + on JBOSS. - Deploying Cocoon on an application server is a fairly straight forward task. The main thing to keep in mind is that Cocoon is, at its core, just a servlet. Granted that it is a massive and turbocharged servlet, but still a servlet. With that in mind, deploying on your application server is just the same as deploying any other servlet. For JBoss 3.0+ it's a simple matter of dropping the war in the correct deploy directory. Some things you will want to keep in mind as you do development on Cocoon in an application server context. - - * Unlike writing JSP, which are compiled into servlets, XSP pages are interpreted and compiled into generators. These are special cocoon extensions that allow you to create custom documents dynamically. Since these generators are not independent servlets but just extensions to cocoon, they do not require you to modify the web.xml file. Once you add them appropriately to your sitemap, it will all work magically. - * You should hardly ever have to modify the WEB-INF files. Remember, you will be adding to Cocoon, not adding new servlets. You should only edit the files in the WEB-INF directory if you really know what you are doing. - * Once you deploy cocoon to your application server, you should have access to all of the JNDI properties in your custom generators or XSP pages. Getting an initial context is identical to the manner you would normally use for your application server. For JBoss 3.0+, for example, you merely need to call. {{InitialContext ictxt = new InitialContext();}} - * Beware when adding any env-entry or ejb-ref elements or other elements to the web.xml. Although it shouldn't be a problem, make sure you understand the file completely and don't delete anything critical to cocoon. - * If you edit the xconf files, you should be advanced enough that all of the information in this tutorial should be trivial to you. Just copy them over in place and leave them alone for the most part. Page: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=BeginnerDefaultPort, version: 2 on Thu Feb 6 22:51:05 2003 by Dabbous + !! The trivial solution + + If you don't bother with peformance ad you don't want to make things too complex + at the beginning you can simply run tomcat on port 80 instead of the default port 8080. + If you do this, you can access tomcat as if it where the default HTTP server. I.e. the URL {{http://mycompany}} would already be served by tomcat and if you already followed the approach in [BeginnerDefaultContext] you are done. + + But this is not the recommended approach, because + # tomcat is said to be far less performant as the apache-webserer for standard file serving. + # most probably your webserver/intranet server already is up and running on the default port, so you don't even have the chance to get hands on port 80 for our tomcat. + # If port 80 is not occupied you can use it for now, but you definitely cut off the possibility to run your webserver under the now occupied default port. + + Because all of this you may need to read on ... + - !!The following text is in german.
