Hello Steven,

this was a bug in the CocoonBean. The logger was used before it was initialized. I have fixed it in the CVS.

This happened only if you should get an error before initializing the logger. In your case (line 178) you should have seen this error: "Please, specify at least one starting URI."

If you use current CVS, your won't get the NPE.

Thanks for reporting.

Hello,
I'm having problems using the command line interface and hope somebody can
help me out.  I don't know Java and am very new to Cocoon, using 2.1m3 and
Tomcat 4.1.24 on Mac OS 10.2.

I read the instructions at wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=CommandLine and,
from my /Cocoon/build/webapp directory containing both a cocoon.xconf and
sitemap.xmap, did

./cocoon.sh cli -x cocoon.xconf

It loads all the .jar files from WEB-INF/lib but then gives me

-------------------- Executing -----------------

I've tried variations on the ./cocoon.sh command, editing the cli.xconf
file, etc., but always get this exception.

What does this mean?  What am I doing wrong?  How can I do it correctly?
Thank you very much for any help!
