Hi, There is no need to configure it in any special way. All defaults are out of the box and are mostly sane (what every developer needs). C3 is considered to be more a RESTful framework not only a simple XML distribution system. Most sitemap.xmaps work ok. We have taken some steps into moving

Hi Peter, I would recommend moving to 2.12 first (and probably staying there). IMHO 2.2 isn't worth the candle and 3.0 misses the point of using Cocoon in the first place. I have a similar set-up as you although I use a blocks based build so that my 'applications' are seperate from the core. I

Hi Peter, I have been using Cocoon 2.12 (or the 2.13 dev brach) for xslt2 transformation work, and agree with Warrell and Christopher -- you do NOT need to move to 2.2 or 3.0. Java 8 works with it, but you may need earlier Java versions to build it (YMMV). If you want to lighten your production

Hi Peter, I completely agree with Christopher! I got some 2.1.* applications running and kept up with flow of Java / jBoss versions. Maybe there had been some issues with the XML helper jars but I don't remember in details. Try your luck with CentOS 7, Java 8 and Tomcat 8 ... and come back if
