I realise that this has been covered before but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer. I've created a custom producer (interrogates a third party server) but I get the familiar class not found exception from Cocoon. java.lang.RuntimeException: Error creating myProducer: class is not found at org.apache.cocoon.framework.Manager.create(Manager.java, Compiled Code) at org.apache.cocoon.framework.Manager.create(Manager.java:86)...etc etc The classes are in my classpath, there's no sign of the dreaded ProducerFromRequest in my properties file so what have I done wrong? BTW I'm running iPlanet Webserver on NT4 (sp 6), JDK 1.3.1 Thanks in advance Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
