Well, I have tried to explain it previously ito of
my working environment (which are clearly diff.
from yours) and, yes, to be honest, the method you
describe does involve a lot more work than simply
being able to download and plug-in a sample.
ie. time-wise its more a "waste" to use the approach
you outline... but if there no other way to do it than
the that way, then this discussion is fairly pointless.

Well, I still don't understand why, but if you really must:
Grab a brand new tar.gz of Cocoon 2.1.5 (or a snapshot of CVS HEAD) and
uncompress it.
Grab the spring.zip from the Wiki page and unzip it in src/blocks.
Edit the gump.xml file as explained.
Build
Copy the cocoon-spring-block.jar file plus the necessary libs to your
running webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory.
Copy the samples subdir to your webapp and mount its sitemap from your
main sitemap.
Reload the cocoon webapp context, if your container allows it.
Now that I have told you *how* to do it, let me explain *why* it makes
no sense at all. The "Spring Petstore" block is just a sample. It
demonstrates a set of best practices (or at least what I think are
best). It offers NO services or functionalities to other blocks. It is
NOT geared towards reuse.
So you gain really nothing from deploying it into a running
application. You should look at its source and run it in a sandbox
environment to see how it behaves. To do that, all you need is a JDK, a
copy of Cocoon with the bundled Jetty container and follow the three
simple steps that are outlined in the Wiki page. Anything else is just
a waste of time.
