Hi Alex, I don't have hang problems, though opening Excel shows some HTML tags as data. What I did:
- in main sitemap.xmap defined
<map:match pattern="test/**">
<map:mount uri-prefix="test" src="test/" reload-method="synchron"
check-reload="yes"/>
</map:match>
- created subdir "test" (so no mixing with other stuff)
- put files from Marcelo's letter to the directory
- defined the local xmap (attached)
- opened url <host:port>/cocoon/test/excel
And it works.
Please note that sometimes after update of cocoon files (update of an
xmap file, update of compiled classes, update of an xsl), I have to
restart my tomcat - otherwise IE may load a page forever. May be it's
your case too?
