I was able to finally compile the file by switching to a DOS shell rather then the Cygwin shell I prefer. Under Cygwin javac refuses to parse either Unix style paths or Windows style paths. Isn't that special ...
Anyway I followed the instructions in INSTALL.txt, copied the Index.mxml file from the Cairngorm tree I unzip'ed into the Tomcat try (an oversite, not mentioned in INSTALL.txt) and ... nuthin'. All I see is the Index.mxml source, not functionality. I checked the Tomcat logs and it mentions something about a missing web.xml file. Huh? How do I make this thing actually do anything. By the way as I am new to Tomcat, what is the significance of the environment variable $WEB_APP? Must I define it on Windoze? Almost there, Douglass Turner
