Using Cocoon from the command

[Alessio Sangalli]

For the first time in a year and a half I want to use Cocoon from the command line. I will be able to use the results in an environment without Cocoon or Java and I won't have to generate every time the data etc etc.

I use Sun's JDK 1.4.1_01, Cocoon 2.0.3, on Linux.

I've found at least of informations on dejanews and the mail list archives:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=cocoon+command+line&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&selm=jPAd8.9020%240C1.767012%40newsread1.prod.itd.earthlink.net&rnum=4

Uh, I should have looked at the code!
I answered my own simple question. For reference:
java -classpath . org.apache.cocoon.Main --help

and:

You can use Cocoon command line interface.

java org.apache.cocoon.Main -c<sourcepath> -d<resultpath> -w<tmppath> \
-l<logfilename> -uINFO -f<list.uris>

sourcepath : where your cocoon files are, with the sitemap and so on
resultpath : where tour HTML files go
tmppath : a directory for tmp files
logfilename : the log file
list.uris : a file containing the list of URI your want to build using Cocoon


good, however WHERE should I give those command lines?

I've never compiled Cocoon by sources because in the early days of the 2.0beta it was a pain in *** ***, and I used to download the binary .war. However this time I had to, because Main.class wasn't avaiable anywhere on a binary distribution only.

$ sh build all

will create cocoon.jar but I can't get it working; at best I get a


$ java -classpath . org.apache.cocoon.Main
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/avalon/framework/CascadingException
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:502)
etc etc etc..........


I tried to unzip the jar, to go directly inside and call Main.class from its own dir, etc


what can I do...!

bye & thank you
