Have a look at Jetty, or JBoss/Jetty (aka JBossWeb). No nasty "must copy things to endorsed directories, etc.)". You take Cocoon (2.0/2.1) and drop it in your deploy directory and POOF it's there. It's nice when the servlet engine actually uses the libs you define and not its own first as the default ... isn't that in the spec ... and will be available in Tomcat at some point.
If you want any extra libs in cocoon-2.1 you add them in the lib tree, add them to jars.xml and the cocoon build adds them to the Manifest ... Jetty/Jboss just eats 'em up in the right place.
I'm off to look for Kudo JDO (which hopefully follows the ODMG JDO and not Sun's) ... how does this rank against Castor or Jakarta-OJB ?
Cheers,

Hy, all;Go linux. Instead of spending money on licenses, you spend money on support
During the last months of activities i learned a lot from this mailing
list. while i followed the discussions i started getting my development
environment a bit up to date. I plan to setup a Wiki page on this
theme. Although this may be a bit off topic, it still would be great,
if someone could comment on this issue.
the tools collection
--------------------
Here is what i have put together so far. Of course this is driven
at least partially by what i do for my customers...
free tools:
1.) OS: linux and solaris (maybe a mater of taste)
contracts. Cheaper. In addition, Solaris is primitive compared to Linux.
2.) apache 1.3.26 (mod_jk2, mod_SSL)Duh ;)Yes, but you can go one step further. Get JBoss with integrated tomcat. JBoss3.) tomcat 4.1.18
will handle all sorty of nasty things like deploying to clusters for you. As
a bonus, you get the ability to integrate with EJB based programs.
4.) cocoon-2.0.42.1 Hopefully soon!5.) eclipseSee my previous message about eclopse vs netbeans.6.) sunbow eclipse tools (xml/sitemap)URL ?I have 15 million of them in my damn appartment, want a few? Oh ... you mean7.) ant
Jakarta ant? Ok, nevermind then. =) Im currently looking at Krysalis'
extensions to ant. http://www.krysalis.org/centipede/quickstart.html
No no .. 1.4.1!!!!!! In 1.4 there are so many COOOL things that I couldnt8.) java-1.3.1 (sun JDK on all platforms)
live without anymore.
Im an LDAP idiot so Ill trust you there.9.) Secureway LDAP Server (i'll switch to Open LDAP soon)
Tools you didnt talk about:
CVS - Use it over clearcase. its powerful, free, and a pleasure to use.
BugZilla - Great program!!!!! Lousy looking interface. We should start a
project to port
it to cocoon. =) However bugzilla is a great and free
bugtracking system.
commercial tools: 10.) clearcase cms (see below)Garbage.11.) xml-spyGood but confusing.all you need is Mysql baby.12.) several DB-Systems
Ones you didnt talk about:
13) Together control center. If you can afford it, it absolutely kills any
other IDE on the planet.
14) eXcelon Stylus Studio. A great XML editor. It has a bonus of being easy
to use and allot less confusing than XML Spy.
15) User editors for creating static content. (FrameMaker? OpenOffice? Im
still working on this one)
16) Kodo JDO. Dont leave home without it. All that nasty persistence stuff
just goes POOOF.
Shouldnt be tough, just run tomcat (or JBoss) in debug mode with a socketnotes about the collection -------------------------- * All tools mentioned above fit tightly together. I use apache/tomcat since about three years now. The above combination also works fine with SSL. * After i got eclipse setup in tomcat debugging mode, i could at least double my productivity. Thanks to the tomcat site it was a matter of seconds to get it up see: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/idedev-rdtomcat.html * I also managed to setup eclipse with Cocoon in less than 10 minutes. OK, i did a lousy trick, but for debugging and learning how cocoon internals work it's absolutley satisfying...
attach. Then you can remote attach to the socket and you are on your way!
* about SCM in general and Clearcase in particular: Clearcase is a quite expensive and known to be very slow SCM tool. On the other hand it is super easy to integrate. Due to exposing the data within a "virtual filesystem" you just don't see it from the users viewpoint (except checkin checkout your files). Having the clearcase integration kit for eclipse up and running comes near to a developers dream. I hope, after Rational has been incorporated into IBM, clearcase or a derivate of it will eventually find it's way into the ongoing eclipse efforts to build just another SCM. See http://www.eclipse.org/technology/index.html follow the link to "stellation" at the bottom of the page. Another interesting new SCM could be subversion from http://subversion.tigris.org/ ... All of these SCM's provide directory versioning (something once you got it, you'll never want to miss again...) * I happen to use XML-Spy since a couple of years now. Maybe i just got used to it. I like it, although i have to pay for the license. At least it helps me getting my XSCHEMA's generated in no time. My personal SAXESS story ... ---------------------------- SAXESS stands for "System AXESS", just to get this clear;-) I write this down, mainly because i got very very satisfied with this especially when i compare this to what i was used to in former times when open source was something, nobody ever heard of... I'm running my webserver on some linux box and my webapps on solaris driven by tomcat. All of my code is dropped into a company wide multiplatform SCM system. I'm developing with the eclipse IDE right on my Desktop machine. I'm running Cocoon for the visualisation part of my projects. This is just a great XML publishing tool, and i'm still only using the basics of it for now. By saving my work to the SCM, my testwebapp gets autodeployed on a solaris box, which happens to be our testenvironment. I can setup remote debuggig sessions from my desktop directly into the heart of my webapplications... Once i checked in my work into the SCM, my webapp gets autodeployed on linux, which happens to be our website server. And i bet, after fiddeling around a bit, i could setup a debugging session on my customers site, while sitting somewhere at a beach, quickfix a bug, and then turn back to the real life just beeing happy for the rest of the day... A personal thank to the Open Source comunity -------------------------------------------- Folks, Thank you very much all you, who have contributed to get such a powerfull toolset up and running. I just get very excited seeing this developer's dream becoming reality... And sad enough i'm not sitting at a beach, but in "good ol'e germany" getting to much rain and too few sun (solaris is not good for everything...). thanks for your attention, if your patience lasted until here ;-) regards, Hussayn -- Dr. Hussayn Dabbous SAXESS Software Design GmbH Neuenhöfer Allee 125 D-50935 Köln tel.:+49 221 56011 0 fax.:+49 221-56011 20 email:[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]>--------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
