I have seen something like this. Follow "[SOLUTION] Cocoon with the Tomcat 4.0.3", this should fix this classcastexception.

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?

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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
