Ya I know that. I'm not talking about the prebuilt, distributed web application. I am trying to develop a strategy for other users to be able to use cocoon from within JBoss without having to leap through 15 hoops. So I basically want a way I can build cocoon libs and then in each war file I make that uses cocoon, I merely need the config files and only things pertaining to my stuff and not to cocoon in general.
Getting the kitchen sink build working was a matter of just dropping it in JBoss. Now I want to go further and make other applications with the product. Right now Id have to resort to telling readers to download cocoon, unpack it, rewrite their manifests to include the Cocoon-Libs section, then run the build which should convert the old libs to the new location and then install cocoon. Picture this scenario. You want to use cocoon for a front end to a powerful EJB based system. Your readers of your book want to download your source code and install it and get it running. They need a simple process. Right now the process is "download the kitchen sink version, figure out what the hell you don't need, repack everything and deploy it." Not functional for users of the product. Therefore I keep rolling back around to having a single jar that I can drop in JBoss like an oversized golf ball and call cocoon "installed" and ready for users to deploy their OWN war files that use cocoon rather than asking them to modify cocoon's war. I'm not sure if I'm making sense here. -- Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luca Morandini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 9:41 AM Subject: RE: Single JAR with all the libs? > Robert, > > I'm not sure I've understood your question, but I like to give it a try. > > When you build Cocoon, it produces a WAR file, you just: > > 1) put the WAR under the webapps of your servlet container > 2) re-start the container > > The you can deploy your Cocoon app under the "mount" directory, hence avoid editing the general sitemap.xmap (the one in > "webapps/cocoon"). > > Regards, > > --------------------------------------------- > Luca Morandini > GIS Consultant > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://utenti.tripod.it/lmorandini/index.html > --------------------------------------------- > > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Simmons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 9:07 AM > To: Cocoon Users > Subject: Single JAR with all the libs? > > > Is there a way to compress all the cocoon jars into one jar so I can just drop in my application server like a golf ball and all > cocoon deployments will have access to it ? > > -- Robert > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Please check that your question has not already been answered in the > FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
