RE: HOWTO: jdk1.4

[Rick Schwartz]

Title: Message

I'm running JBoss 2.4.4 with embedded Tomcat 4.0.1 on W2K. Using today's snapshot I followed your instructions, however I re-built the "cocoon.war" replacing the javac.jar with tools.jar since JBoss deploys and destroys the "war" in a tmp directory. In any case, when I start JBoss (and Catalina) I get the following output from the startup output. I also followed tried the install instructions regarding JBoss 2.4.4 and Tomcat 4.0.1, but I get the same problem. 

 

In any case, I am able to bring up the welcome page with "http://localhost:8080/cocoon", however I'm not sure if everything is running as it should.

Anyone know what this means?

 

Thanks,

Rick

Subject: HOWTO: jdk1.4

Hi,

Sorry I havent introduce myself, I will do so when im not so tired ;-)

 

Those wanting to use cocoon2 on windows with jdk1.4 do the following:

- Download Tomcat Binary(LE) and "install"

- Download Cocoon Binary and copy cocoon.war to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps

- Launch Tomcat

- When the WAR has been extracted Shut Tomcat Down

- make a directory 'endorsed' in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib

- copy xerces,xalan,xml-apis from $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/libs to the endorsed directory

- copy batik-libs,xerces,xalan,xml-apis from $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/libs to $CATALINA_HOME/common/libs

- remove javac from $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/libs

- copy $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/libs

- clear out everything under $CATALINA_HOME/work/localhost

- start tomcat

- buy me a beer

 

Those wanting to use cocoon2 on *nix with jdk1.4 do the following:

- Do the same as the windows guys are doing

- edit catalina.sh in the $CATALINA_HOME/bin directory and add a line CATALINA_OPTS='-Djava.awt.headless=true'

- start tomcat

- buy me 2 beers

 

 

Can someone with commit access to the cvs add that headless stuff

 

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

 

Oh yeah, this works on the latest releases of cocoon and tomcat (2.0.1 and 4.0.3 atm). that java.awt.headless=true thing is really important for *nix users, so someone please add it to the INSTALL text.

I recommend using the light edition of tomcat, because its less to worry about. if you use the full version then you will need to screw around with extra JARs
