Hi, I've looked in the docs and in the archives but I can't find out why I'm having trouble with actions in Cocoon 2.0 (binary version). Here's what I did:
1. I created a HelloPoohAction.java, almost identical to the one in the "Creating and using actions" docs, except that I added import statements for Redirector and SourceResolver, and the act() method contains: Map sitemapParams = new HashMap(); sitemapParams.put("mySiteParamValue", "Eeyore"); Request request = (Request) objectModel.get(Constants.REQUEST_OBJECT); request.setAttribute("myname", "Tigger"); return sitemapParams; 2. I compiled this file and placed the class file into a sub-directory of WEB-INF/classes (to match the package). 3. I stopped Tomcat (4.0.1), and removed Cocoon's work directory (just in case anything was cached). 4. At the top of my sitemap, I have in the <map:actions> section: <map:action name="hello-pooh" src="com.newhomesdirect.web.HelloPoohAction"/> and my <match> section looks like this: <map:match pattern="xsp/*"> <map:act type="hello-pooh"> <map:generate type="serverpages" src="docs/samples/xsp/{1}.xsp"/> <map:transform src="stylesheets/dynamic-page2html.xsl"> <map:parameter name="view-source" value="docs/samples/xsp/{1}.xsp"/> </map:transform> </map:act> <map:serialize/> </map:match> 5. I started Tomcat and pulled up the Cocoon welcome page. No problem here. I checked the logs and I have: DEBUG (2002-02-07) 14:58.41:890 [cocoon ] (/cocoon/welcome) HttpProcessor[8080][1]/ExcaliburComponentSelector: Adding com.newhomesdirect.web.HelloPoohAction for hello-pooh so I see it found my class. 6. In a web browser, I do a request for /cocoon/xsp/simple and get a Resource Not Found error. Again, I check the logs, and this time I see that it instantiated my class all right, and I even see the parameter values: DEBUG (2002-02-07) 15:01.07:982 [cocoon ] (/cocoon/xsp/simple) HttpProcessor[8080][1]/sitemap_xmap: Action hello-pooh DEBUG (2002-02-07) 15:01.07:983 [cocoon ] (/cocoon/xsp/simple) HttpProcessor[8080][1]/AbstractSitemap: Current Sitemap Parameters: PARAM: 'mySiteParamValue' VALUE: 'Eeyore' PARAM: '../1' VALUE: 'simple' PARAM: '../0' VALUE: 'xsp/simple' but right after that, I see: DEBUG (2002-02-07) 15:01.07:983 [cocoon ] (/cocoon/xsp/simple) HttpProcessor[8080][1]/sitemap_xmap: Source=docs/samples/xsp/{1}.xsp WARN (2002-02-07) 15:01.07:984 [cocoon ] (/cocoon/xsp/simple) HttpProcessor[8080][1]/AbstractSitemap: Substitute: value not found for 1 while evaluating docs/samples/xsp/{1}.xsp ...snip...

But why does the parameter "1" just disappear like that? If this is documented somewhere please throw me a URL; if not, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
