I'm up to here now, but have some troubles with Windows 2000 and permissions. When I
go to my url:
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/~nvjuliad/styleremote
I get the following error:
Resource not found.
org.apache.cocoon.ResourceNotFoundException: Resource not found.:
org.apache.excalibur.source.SourceNotFoundException: file:/C:/Documents and
Settings/nvjuliad/My Documents/My Website/ doesn't exist.
cause: java.io.FileNotFoundException: \Documents and Settings\nvjuliad\My
Documents\My Website (Access is denied)
If I move it from this location, the "(Access is denied)" bit is changed to "(The
system cannot find the path specified)", so we know it finds it, but can't get
access to it. I've right-clicked on the My Website folder and under
Properties/Sharing chosen to "Share this folder", but that didn't make any
difference. Does anyone know how to get around this?

How do I actually do this? I mean, trying to execute -Dxindice.configuration in
Windows commandline doesn't work. I had a look at the registry ("regedit"), but
wouldn't know what to do where or how. I'm not very good with these things in
Windows.
