I'm a relative newbie to XML, Java and Cocoon, but I was able to get the 1.8.2 release of Cocoon working with Tomcat 3.2.1 on Debian/Linux (Kernel 2.2.18) box with the j2sdk1.3 from Blackdown. Curious after reading a lot about it, I just attempted to build Cocoon 2.0a7 from cvs. I have Tomcat 3.2.2b5 running, with all .jsp and servlet examples working properly. After building the cocoon.war, copying it to $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ restarting tomcat and pointing my browser at http://localhost:8080/cocoon/ I got the following error: Cocoon was not initialized org.xml.sax.SAXException: Could not get valid parserNamespace not supported by SAXParser I checked the FAQ and followed the suggested solution of removing jaxp.jar and parser.jar from $TOMCAT_HOME/lib/ and then copying xerces_1_4_0.jar and renaming it to parser.jar. Restarted tomcat and got the following error message: type internal-server-error message The sitemap handler's sitemap is not available. description org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: The sitemap handler's sitemap is not available. sender org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet source Cocoon servlet request-uri /cocoon/ exception org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: The sitemap handler's sitemap is not available. path-info stacktrace org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: The sitemap handler's sitemap is not available. at org.apache.cocoon.sitemap.Manager.setupProcessing(Manager.java:185) at org.apache.cocoon.sitemap.Manager.invoke(Manager.java:96) at org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon.process(Cocoon.java:288) at org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet.service(CocoonServlet.java:463) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java:405) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java:287) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java:372) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java:79 7) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:743) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpC onnectionHandler.java:213) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:416) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:501) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) I've been been trying to troubleshoot it, but I don't really understand how the sitemap works. Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated. -- Eirik Dentz --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
