I think components have to be declared in cocoon.xconf in order for the container to initialize them, or even to find them. There are currently two ways of doing this: creating an entry in .roles, or declaring it using generic syntax in cocoon.xconf. Since I think the first requires rebuilding cocoon, I'd recommend trying the second. I think you'll need either a <component-instance/> or <component/> declaration depending on your need. Components are Avalon components, defined by the project at http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon which I can't access right now. (Seems to be their webserver). I also don't have easy access to the component declaration I did right now or I'd send you an example. There are examples of generic declarations in cocoon.xconf which should be all you need, except to note that your declaration needs to be a child of the root <cocoon> element, whereas the examples I'm seeing in cocoon.xconf have custom named parent elements which you won't have (unless you go the .roles route).
Disclaimer - I'm not a guru on this - only did it once. Hope I haven't misunderstood your issue. Geoff Howard __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
