Nick,
Thanks for your comments. I did try to restart Tomcat to see if that helps,
but even after doing that the process looked hung. Can you explain what is
map:mount do? Should my map:match stanza look like this:
<map:match pattern="XMLj/DEMOj.excel">
<map:mount uri-prefix="XMLj" src="XMLj/" reload-method="synchron"
check-reload="yes"/>
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="docs/samples/XMLj/DEMOj.xml"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/excel.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="excel"/>
</map:match>
Alex

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?
