I want my 'dumb' users to configure the Cocoon webapp that includes my customized components just like he configures any other web application.
I want my user to open up the manager of Tomcat and deploy the web application and configure the web application.
It could simply be done by adding one line to the CocoonServlet in the init(ServletConfig) method:
// conf is the ServletConfig in the init() method
this.appContext.put("servletconfig", conf);This would fix all my problems. Then I could get the 'servletconfig' from the ObjectModel.
I currently created a ConfigurationServlet that has the configuration I need in it's web.xml when my Transformator needs the configuration I do:
ConfigurationServlet configServlet = ConfigurationServlet.getInstance();
This works fine but it is not the most beautifull sollution.

so you want to configure your cocoon components through web.xml because you don't want customers to open your cocoon webapp directory, is this correct? But if they configure through a different webapp then they would need to open a different webapp directory anyway and edit the file there. So is the point then actually more to protect customers from looking at your cocoon app?
I am not following you here, probably due to me having a slow day. Can you explain a bit more?

No that is not an option for a real deployment as the Java Servlet guru's have in mind.

I really mis this option in Cocoon. I would like to deploy a war file that contains Cocoon and my generators and transformers. And I do not want the customer to open up the Cocoon web directory and change a property file to change a setting.
Does anybody know any other options?
Is providing a web based form that allows to change your component parameters an option?
