Once again, to make it clear, what I want to achieve... I have built a web application, which presents the informations concerning a life insurance contract on our intranet. The web page is called like "//http:server/cocoon/Contract.xsp?contract_id=1234567 For looking at single contracts everything is fine. But now I want to generate all these "info sheets" for many hundreds of contracts and send the results to an other department, which has no possibility to access our intranet. Therefor I want to "call" Cocoon with a "todo list", which could look like this: Contract.xsp?contract_id=1112234 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1112236 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1112237 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1112324 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1123534 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1467301 Contract.xsp?contract_id=1668709 ... Now Cocoon has to generate the html files for each uri and save it somewhere. My intermediate results are: 1) Cocoon can be called from the command line by using the "run.sh" script in the Cocoon root directory. 2) It is possible to configure the Cocoon call with parameters. Execute "sh run.sh -h" for a list of Parms and options. 3) I have configured the run time environment in a way, that the command line version takes the same sitemap files and web application files as the servlet version called by tomcat. And now there is only one question left: How can I tell the command line environment to load and initialize the classes needed for the Oracle database access? In the servlet version this is done be specifying an "init-param" in the web.xml file with the param-name "load-class". And here I'm stuck! I think, the implementation of the class org.apache.cocoon.Main needs some extension, to give a possibility to the user to achieve the same things, as init-param in web.xml does in the servlet case.
