As you suggest yourself, I don't think the errors above have anything to do with the blank page problem. Very often, this is caused by OutOfMemory exceptions. You should be able to see those if you redirect standard out (or standard error) to a file. Assuming it would be this, there is something that's leaking memory in either your application, Cocoon, or any of the third party libraries cocoon uses. -- Bruno Dumon http://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java & XML Competence Support Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
