There is no direct mapping such as in Apache or usual web servers. If you want to access a file, there must be a rule somewhere in your sitemap that handles it. Or you will get (guess...) error 404.

You need a sitemap rule that handles it, or it is error404. For example a rule can be: <map:match pattern="myApplication/*.html"> <map:read src="{0}" type="text/html"/> </map:match> It matches any URL that corresponds to a html file in the directory myApplication. The map:read provides the data "as is" to the client, with no server-side transformation or parsing. It is useful when you want to send static content, such as html files or image files (you can think of it as a direct mapping, as in Apache). The {0} is replaced by the pattern that has been matched by the rule (easy to understand if you have a bit of knowledge with regexp). And that's all folks. Use that, and Cocoon will serve static HTML files correctly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
