RE: Something else about Cocoon-2/Tomcat-4.1.18

[Tsui, Alban]

You can try something like, for example,   "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat.exe" -install "MyCocoon" "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll" -Djava.class.path="%JAVACLASSPATH%" -Dcatalina.home="%CATALINA_HOME%" -Xrs -start org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -params stop -out "%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stdout.log" -err "%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stderr.log"   to register your cocoon app as a win service. Make sure you set up those variables correctly, This way you can specify your classpath explicitly I guess this might help when the service starts up, it will pick up the correct xerces first.   I am only using tomcat 4.0.1 so not sure if it is the same for your tomcat but hopefully this will give you a lead to continue. -----Original Message----- From: Richard In Public [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 February 2003 12:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Something else about Cocoon-2/Tomcat-4.1.18 Hi,   Another lead for those struggling to setup Cocoon with Tomcat:   1.  Like several other users, I have been served the following error when using Cocoon-2 (Win2000/XP, Tomcat 4 JDK1.4.1_01):   org.apache.xml.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: The output format must have a'{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}content-handler' property!   2.  As others have advised on the cocoon-users list, this problem arises when cocoon is provided with incompatible versions of the Xerces, Xalan or XML-APIS libraries.  This is resolved by copying the following libraries (versions correct for coccon-2.1-dev) from %COCOON_HOME%/lib/endorsed/ to %CATALINA_HOME%/common/endorsed/   xercesImpl-2.1.0.jar xalan-2.4.1.jar xml-apis.jar   3.  This solution works for me when I start Tomcat using startup.bat but *not* when I startup Tomcat as a *service*.  I discovered this after reading the following paragraph:   > The docs at one point only mentioned %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\endorsed > but later tomcat versions use -Djava.endorsed.dirs to override > the standard jdk defined location. [ from: http://www.mail-archive.com/cocoon-users@xml.apache.org/msg22192.html]   I have tried using this parameter (-Djava.endorsed.dirs=%CATALINA_HOME%/common/endorsed) as a startup parameter, possibly incorrectly, for the service (via the WindowsXP Service Properties pane) but this does not seem to help.  If I figure out how to do this I will post instructions.  In the meantime, perhaps someone else knows the answer.   Richard This message may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
