...I think. I have an existing Cocoon service running 2.1.11 under Tomcat5 and Apache in CentOS5 on a very old server, and I now have a new server running CentOS6, Apache2, and Tomcat6 that I want to migrate to, but I am held up by my lack of understanding of what has been happening to Coocon,

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
