Hi,
I'm trying to drop the cocoon.war file into the deploy directory of JBoss3 RC1, which uses Catalina (TomCat 4.0.3).
But I get the following error (see below) - NullPointerException trying to put the default context.
I've tried just deploying the .war file which fails.
So I've tried the install instructions (http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/installing/index.html) even though JBoss 3 isn't mentioned, for TomCat 4.0.3 reference but I still get the same problem.
Basically, I tried adding xerces, xalan, xml-apis, batik-libs to the catalina/common/lib/ directory - but no joy here, so I also unjarred cocoon, edited WEB-INF/web.xml and added the extra-classpath param, re-jarred it but this made no difference.
I also tried the Catalina reference, removing crimson & jaxp, adding xml-apis to jboss/lib and adding it to the classpath when starting JBoss.
I also tried adding the following to cocoon.xconf, again with no difference:
<parameter name="transformer-factory" value="org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>
I also trawled through the mailing list archives but found nothing that worked.
Does someone have it working and can point me in the right direction? What step have I missed?
Many TIA...I have battled for a couple of days with this, but I am running out of things to try.
Charles
