Thanks for the replies (and for not being too rude about accidentally sending HTML mail...)
Surely it can't be *that* difficult to get it working in JBoss3/Catalina? Strangely enough I *did* have it working at home.....so I know it can work....after battling with problems I ended up getting it working and after the combination of things I tried I ended up with the following: added cocoon.jar to catalina/lib/ added xml-apis.jar to jboss/lib/ added xml-apis.jar to JBOSS_CLASSPATH in run.sh ...maybe none of these made a difference or are needed, or maybe I did something else which I cannot remember. It's possible even that something else running on the same box is conflicting (though I've changed most of the default port settings). If I get it working I'll post back what needs doing....
