I have been trying to do the same thing for 3 days now and had a breakthrough about 1hr ago.
All I did was download the Cocoon2.1.3 - unzipped it - and followed the top 4 steps in the "install.txt" file. Which are: ------------ 1) Set your JAVA_HOME environment You have to set your JAVA_HOME environment to point to the root directory of the Java Virtual Machine (JDK 1.3.x or later) installed on your machine. To do this simply type: [unix] JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java/ [win32] SET JAVA_HOME=c:\path\to\java your mileage may vary depending on your shell, but you know how to setup environments, right? 2) Build Cocoon by typing "build" or "./build.sh" 3) Run Cocoon by typing "cocoon servlet" or "./cocoon.sh servlet" 4) Open http://localhost:8888/ with your browser ------------- The install took about 19 mins. To my surprise, I did not need Tomcat as the Cocoon install also installed the Jetty servlet container. NOTE: I am using JDK1.4. I did not come across any info about Cocoon 2.1.3 being buddled with Jetty, it maybe there somewhere but I never thought to look. Begginers really get a tough time and often give up. Does anyone know where this is documented, or have plans to document.
