problems getting setup
Hi,
I am trying to update the cocoon website, following roughly the
instructions at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/CocoonWebsiteUpdate. I've
got forrest 0.6 installed, updated path and FORREST_HOME accordingly.
When doing forrest from the root site directory i get :
d:\src\cocoon-siteforrest
Apache Forrest. Run 'forrest -projecthelp' to list options
Buildfile: d:\tools\apache-forrest-0.6\src\core\forrest.build.xml

Any pointers ?

I've got forrest 0.6 installed, updated path and FORREST_HOME accordingly. Hmmm, no idea sorry. I can build cocoon-site no problems. Would you try this test please: cd somewhere mkdir my-test; cd my-test forrest seed forrest ... that will determine that your forrest installation is okay. -David
Re: directory listing batch file invocation
OK, after looking at the examples and the Coccon wiki page for the DirectoryGenerator, I got my directory listing to somewhat work. Here is the my basic sitemap.xmap entry: map:pipeline internal-> map:match pattern=**/defaultbuilddir.html map:generate type=directory src=""> map:parameter name=depth value=2/ /map:generate map:transform src="" / map:serialize type=xml/ /map:match /map:pipeline The xsl is basically the stylesheet from the Cocoon wiki. It converts the directory listings to html tags. The problems I am having with it are: 1. The raw html tags are being displayed. I thought I saw a FAQ on this somewhere, but I could not find it again. I also tried the html serializer, but I got a DTD error. 2. I am losing the rest of the Forrest site (tabs, menus, etc.). I think I have to aggregate this, correct? Any pointers? Also, I'm still working on implementing the full Jetty server.

I saw a post about redirecting to an apache web server, but I can't do that as I am removing the plain apache server. The batch file only created a zip of a couple of directories so I was trying to use the Zip serializer, but again, I'm having some issues. Are you using a full Jetty as the servlet container for your forrest webapp. It can run cgi programs, so probably can Tomcat. I have never used the Cocoon ZipArchiveSerializer, http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/serializers/ziparchive-serializer.html but i gather that you would construct a pipeline in your project sitemap that generates an xml document in the format shown, then finish that with the serializer. -David
Re: directory listing batch file invocation
Just an update. I got the html serializer working (the html was malformed) and the html now renders. I believe the rest of the issues relate to my not understanding xmaps. Now on to understanding aggregates... -Lou [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 09/09/2005 12:14:42 PM: OK, after looking at the examples and the Coccon wiki page for the DirectoryGenerator, I got my directory listing to somewhat work.

Sorry, someone else might have ideas. I just found out what was wrong : i had FORREST_HOME set to d:\tools\forrest\scr\core\ , removing the trailing backslash made everything work. I've been bitten by trailing slashes in env variables a few times before, it always amazes me how they are able to completely wreck good software and make it display errors nobody has ever seen before. oh well :( Jorg
