Hi,

I have had an uphill climb trying to get Cocoon 1.8.2 installed on my Win2K,
Apache-Tomcat machine. I have read all the install hints, tips and tricks or
at least I believe I have. However, I keep running into the same error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error creating
org.apache.cocoon.parser.XercesParser: make sure the needed classes can be
found in the classpath (org/apache/xerces/framework/XMLParser)
I understand that the Xerces parser utilizes some of the same API's as the
parser and requires that you rename the parser.jar to zparser.jar. I have
renamed accordingly. The full error message is:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error creating
org.apache.cocoon.parser.XercesParser: make sure the needed classes can be
found in the classpath (org/apache/xerces/framework/XMLParser)

My %TOMCAT_HOME%\lib directory has the following jars:

 ant.jar
 ant_1_1.jar
 bsf.jar
 bsfengines.jar
 cocoon.jar
 fesi.jar
 fop_0_15_0.jar
 jasper.jar
 jaxp.jar
 sax-bugfix.jar
 servlet.jar
 servlet_2_2.jar
 stylebook-1.0-b2.jar
 test
 turbine-pool.jar
 w3c.jar
 webserver.jar
 xalan_1_2_D02.jar
 xerces_1_2.jar
 xt.jar
 zparser.jar
 zxml.jar

>From the stack trace, I believe that Cocoon has been set up properly within
Tomcat. However, I am stumped as to the reason for the XercesParser error.

TIA for any help available,
