Here are some notes I made while trying to get started with the Cocoon 3
alpha 2 sample apps running under Windows XP using Maven.
Hopefully it might help others like me starting down the C3 road and
serve as a record of the corrections needed to the current documentation ;-)
The place to go for documentation on running the sample apps is the
Cocoon 3 download page [1]. The simplest way to get the sample app up
and runnning is to use Maven to do the heavy lifting. As the
documentation mentions under the 'Maven 2 archetypes' heading you have
to type the following line to create the sample block: -
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:1.0-alpha-7:create
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.cocoon.archetype-sample
-DarchetypeArtifactId=cocoon-archetype-sample
-DarchetypeVersion=3.0.0-alpha-2
-DgroupId=com.mycompany
-DartifactId=mysample
Note: you have to place everything on one line before pasting it into a windows
DOS box or else only the first line will get executed.
This should proceed correctly and a new directory will appear called 'mysample'
which you should change into for the next part.
I tried typing 'mvn jetty:run' to execute the sample app but I kept getting a
couple of Maven dependency errors: -
com.sun.jersey:jersey-core:jar:1.0.3
com.sun.jersey:jersey-server:jar:1.0.3
Never having heard of Jersey[2] before (the new Restful API reference implementation
and not the place or the item of clothing!) I looked it up and noticed the
dependencies page[3] which led me to add the following to the pom.xml file just below
the <packaging> tag: -
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
<name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>maven-repository.dev.java.net</id>
<name>Java.net Maven 1 Repository (legacy)</name>
<url>http://download.java.net/maven/1</url>
<layout>legacy</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
After this I could successfully run the sample app... but only after
looking in the correct URL ;-) The documentation[1] gives the wrong
one. The Jetty server is set up to actually run at http://localhost:8888
Hope this helps.
