Hi,
I have
just moved from c1.8 to c2b2 and am lost on how to deploy even the simplest of
code under c2. I did have c2 running as a war under Tomcat 3.2.3 but now
have got it running as an "raw" web app with Apache 1.3.19/mod_jk acting as the
HTTP server and java interface (i.e. I've got the aliases and jkmount
/cocoon/* ajp12 in my httpd.conf). This is so I can easily develop and add
in my basic noddy code without having to repackage the war each time. All
the samples work fine but even a basic xml page coded and copied under the
cocoon webapp folder results in a "page not found" error. My research
leaves me to believe that I need to add something to the sitemap file so that
the file can be picked up but does this mean that *every* page needs to be in
sitemap, even if it is in some kind of wild card arrangement? It appears
that cocoon must be restarted to reloaded the changed sitemap - surely this is a
ridiculous overhead in development time and prevents rapid "code the page and
test it" that I am used to - even on C1.8. I basically understand what the
sitemap is doing for the samples - it's just seems too long winded when all I
want to do is create a folder and do a simple XML/XSL
transformation.
Am I
missing something? What I need is an idiots guide to deploying a basic XML
file right through to a basic XSP/Logicsheet/XML scenario. An idiots guide
to working with the sitemap file would help as well - the alpha documentation
does not contain sufficent examples at the moment.
As an
example - how do I deploy the basic XML/XSL file deployed in the XSP Guide
chapter that is in the c2 doc set:
Assume:
The
file path: c:\java\tomcat\webapps\cocoon\mystuff (on Win 2000 pro
btw)
The
url I request: http://localhost/cocoon/mystuff/greeting.xml
With
my C1.8 knowledge I would have expected that I just create the folder and plop
the files (greeting.xml and greeting.xsl) in there but it seems that the sitemap
holds the key to these being served...
Perhaps with a few pointers I can write the idiots
guide but I need a little help myself first!
Many
thanks in advance
Jez
