I did this: 1) downloaded DatabaseSelectAction.java from CVS and compiled it to ..\cocoon\WEB-INF\classes\org\apache\cocoon\acting.
2) added to cocoons web.xml: <init-param> <param-name>extra-classpath</param-name> <param-value>C:\Programme\ApacheGroup\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\classes\org\apache\cocoon\acting\DatabaseSelectAction.class</param-value> </init-param> 3) added to the sitemap of the tutorial web application example: <map:actions> <map:action name="dbSel" src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.DatabaseSelectAction"/> <!-- added --> <map:action name="dbAdd" src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.DatabaseAddAction"/> <map:action name="dbDel" src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.DatabaseDeleteAction"/> <map:action name="dbUpd" src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.DatabaseUpdateAction"/> <map:action name="form" src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.FormValidatorAction"/> </map:actions> :) the error message after invoking the tutorial is : org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Exception in Handler: org.apache.avalon.framework.component.ComponentException: Could not set up Component for hint: org\apache\cocoon\www\tutorial\sitemap_xmap Without <map:action name="dbSel" src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.DatabaseSelectAction"/> it started seriously. I then tried other paths in init param extra classpath, and other funny things. Could someone please shed some light on this.
