Man, Steven, thanks for pointing that out--the Hello World example works now. The really weird thing is that I *did* check that quite a few times and fixed the missing ? mark before. However, I had made a backup copy of the helloworld.xml file so that I could delete my whole cocoon directory and reinstall cocoon from scratch (I thought I might have messed up the installation somehow). So I guess the backed up helloworld.xml file still had the missing ? and that's been a major culprit here. <Sigh>
Also weird: Remember that I kept getting the error about cocoon/helloworld being an unknown URI? That error has mysteriously gone away...could it have been cleaning out the $TOMCAT_HOME/work directory that did it?? In any case, the example finally works!! Hooraaay!!! And it was supposed to be a trivial example too. :-) Go get some sleep--you have earned it. :-) Thanks!
