Thanks Steve but as I'm not familiar with Ant and I don't understand the
connection between compiling my code and that link I'm still stuck.
I've had a stab at the ant method with a modified version of the file you
gave me:
<project name="HowTo" default="compile">
<property name="src.java" value="." />
<property name="build.classes" value="." />
<property name="cocoon.lib"
value="C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\lib" />
<property name="build" location="build"/>
<target name="init">
<!-- Create the time stamp -->
<tstamp/>
<!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile -->
<mkdir dir="${build}"/>
</target>
<path id="build.cp">
<pathelement path="${build.classes}" />
<path>
<fileset dir="${cocoon.lib}" includes="**.jar" />
</path>
</path>
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<javac srcdir="${src.java}" destdir="${build.classes}"
debug="true" classpathref="build.cp" />
</target>
</project>
But I get:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\cocoon\samples\xmlform\howto>ant >
build.txt
[javac]
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\cocoon\samples\xmlform\howto\HowtoW

BUILD FAILED
file:C:/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/cocoon/samples/xmlform/howto/build.xml
:24:
Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.
Total time: 6 seconds
Given that I simply copy/ pasted the HowToWizardAction.java source from the
example I don't understand why it doesn't work. Perhaps my build file is
wrong? There is a VERY steep learning curve with these technologies I'm
finding. Can anyone help me further?

You need more than only the xmlform block in your classpath, but all
Cocoon libs. Using Ant, this might be easier than the commandline:
<property name="build.classes" value="${build}/classes" />
<property name="cocoon.lib" value="${cocoon.webapp}/WEB-INF/lib" />
<path id="build.cp">
<pathelement path="${build.classes}" />
<path>
<fileset dir="${cocoon.lib}" includes="**.jar" />
</path>
</path>
<target name="compile" depends="init">
<javac srcdir="${src.java}" destdir="${build.classes}"
debug="true" classpathref="build.cp" />
</target>
You might take a look at
http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=YourCocoonBasedProject which
describes how you can set up a Cocoon-based project.
HTH,
