AW: problem in writing Actions

[Sternath Elmar]

Hi Anna,   the .java file has to be compiled into a class file. Cocoon then accesses the class file to execute the desired functionality. For compilation, you need an appropriate tool, for instance ant. I would recommend to get familiar with ant. Ant provides functionality to compile .java files into .class files, pack them into .jar libraries and deploy them into the target directory of cocoon.   Regards, Elmar -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Anna Afonchenko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 18.

I took sample action class RandomAction.java (from book "Cocoon:Building XML Applications" by Langham & Ziegeler), changed the package name to ub, and copied this file into ub directory under cocoon directory. Then I declared it in a sitemap by adding <map:action name="random" src=""/>   When I try to use it (even if I just call http://localhost:8080/cocoon/ and not the pattern match for this action), I get an error from Cocoon: type fatal message Error in sitemap configuration : ub.RandomAction description org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException: Error in sitemap configuration : ub.RandomAction sender org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet source Cocoon servlet request-uri /cocoon/ I tried to move the RandomAction.java to the cocoon directory, it doesn't help. What should I do and where should I put my own Action class in order to use it in the sitemap? Thank you very much for help. Anna
