Vishal, actually, you don't need to have your XML files under the cocoon directory.
For instance, I have my Cocoon directory under "c:\apps\tomcat\webapps\cocoon", but I have my XML fles under "d:\noria\noria". The solution to this is just mounting a sub-sitemap under the main sitemap. For instance, there is this fragment in my sitemap ("c:\apps\tomcat\webapps\cocoon\sitemap.xmap"): <map:pipeline> <map:match pattern="noria/**"> <map:mount uri-prefix="noria" src="file:///d:/noria/noria/" check-reload="yes" reload-method="synchron"/> </map:match> </map:pipeline> This tells Cocoon to process every URI with "noria/<something>" in it, to the sub-sitemap located under "d:/noria/noria", which will act as the new root for XML files. Best regards, P.S. On a personal note: while I think Vadim was a bit too harsh on you, I can't help noticing that there is FAQ entry about this (named: "How could I have my Cocoon app in a directory other than $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/cocoon/<my-app>?"). Since I wrote that FAQ entry I'd like to know: 1) Did you read it ? 2) If yes, was it helpful to you ? 3) If not, how could it be rewritten in a more meaningful way ? --------------------------------------------- Luca Morandini GIS Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://utenti.tripod.it/lmorandini/index.html --------------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Vishal Khatnani > Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2002 8:38 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: confusion with C2! > > > Vadim, > > Let me explain.
