Okay, I just checked http://wiki.apache.org/general/ and found there is no Forrest wiki. No matter I'll submit my findings to Xindice's wiki or just submit them as part of Forrest's documentation. Still, why no wiki for Forrest? Or is it simply that no one has stepped up?

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
