Thanks for this explanation, I have a few questions though. > - [cocoon-deployer-webapp-sample] is a very simple example. Here we need > something more useful.

Right? Can you elaborate what changes are required for CForms? > * I introduced the new Maven goals > - cocoon:deploy and > - cocoon:deploy-war > > Both are based on the Maven war plugin.

What component is using this file? Why is there redundancy with pom.xml, both are referencing cocoon-default. What is cocoon-default? When I « mvn install » in cocoon-block-deployer/cocoon-deployer-webapp-sample, the generated webapp in target/demo does not contain sitemaps and other resources, only web.xml and jars, am I missing something? > Before block deployment, the normal web app creation of the war plugin takes > place which mainly consists of copying > files from src/main/webapp to target/[finalName]. How to achieve this step? It seems it is not done automatically. -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/
