Hi Folks, Thanks to David Crossley for the reply. I'm making some progress using his suggestions. The first part of this post describes the steps I've taken so far. I post them here for comments and corrections as I plan to document what I learn here and add it to the Forrest wiki.
Thus far, I have this: Include XMLDB block in the properties file NOTE: This article describes how to generate a Forrest site using documents stored in Apache Xindice. It is assumed that you are using Forrest 0.7 on Windows. 1. Open the 'blocks.properties' file in the $FORREST_HOME/etc/cocoon_upgrade directory. 2. Save the file as 'local.blocks.properties'. 3. Make the following edits to the file: Change '#include.block.xsp=false' to 'include.block.xsp=true' Change '#include.block.database=false' to 'include.block.database=true' Change '#include.block.xmldb=false' to 'include.block.xmldb=true' 4. Save and close the file. QUESTIONS: 1. The next step is to edit the configuration file at $FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/WEB-INF/xconf/forrest-core.xconf but what changes need to be made? 2. Plain old Cocoon 2.1.8 has an embedded version but I don't think this is true of Forrest's Cocoon trunk. How do I point cocoon trunk to my install of Xindice? Thanks very much to everyone responding to this thread. Chris
