Hi,
To start forrest 0.7 as a webapp inside Tomcat we had to change the web.xml.
We made the init-param "force-property" empty
(default it had the value "org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogKitLogger").
Without doing so the webapp didn't start up.

This may be the reason that the Servlet Cocoon is not available to you.
The standard output of the servlet engine may give you more information

Btw, I think we had to do this already for 0.6 as well.

I'm crossposting there, to get you going!

We're using Forrest either in "live" mode ('forrest run')
or to produce static (HTML, PDF) content, so I cannot help
you with Tomcat ('forrest webapp-local').

You did

"forrest webapp-local"


and copied

forrest\site-author\build\webapp in tomcat 5.5.9 webapp


and got the following error message (localhost/forrest):

type Status report
message Servlet Cocoon is not available
description The requested resource (Servlet Cocoon is not
available) is not available.



From what I see in the documentation it may be that you need

to do 'forrest webapp' w/o the "-local", but the documentation
may be wrong :-(   See:
  http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/your-project.html#forrest_run
  http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/primer.html


No the documentation is correct. Although there was a user reporting issues with plugins in the war file recently. So you may still find problems with that. Please let us know if you do.
