The errors you mention in your original message seem to indicate that the Oracle JDBC driver is not being found. I have only had success (in the Tomcat environment) when I renamed classes12.zip to classes12.jar and placed the renamed file in the CATALINE_HOME/common/lib directory (as I have other non-Cocoon web apps that also use Oracle JDBC). While I have not tried in a while, I recall having problems when the classes12.jar file was located subordinate to a WEB-INF directory.
The Cocoon log files (under WEB-INF/logs) should have some error messages regarding the failed creation of the database connection pool. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
