Just to report back: I have now got file uploading working, but only because I found this resource through a search of the Wiki:

http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/RecipeUploadUsingAction

This code compiled and ran first time. Shouldn't this page be linked to from the general upload pages?

I never did have any luck with the Flow technique described in

http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/FileUploadsWithFlow

because, I think, of a class loading error which prevented Cocoon from initializing itself. Are other Cocoon users happily using the Flow technique for uploads?

Hi,

Does anyone have any thoughts on this problem? I've spent the whole day not getting any further with it, although I now understand a bit better how Cocoon works.

The problem is definitely in the second half of the Wiki "how to" description (setting up a FileUploadManager):

http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/FileUploadsWithFlow

I have faithfully carried out steps 1-5, and this certainly has an effect, but when I re-start Cocoon I get an initialisation error as outlined below, whatever page I try to access. Interestingly, the error message is the same whether or not I have copied the cocoon-upload jar into the WEB-INF\lib directory. (Does this suggest it is looking in the wrong place for it? If so, what setting controls this?)

Thanks,

Richard Light

After much trial and error, I was able to get it at least start (I haven't tried actually uploading any files yet!) by altering the user.xroles file provided on the Wiki page. I changed the shorthand attribute in the <role-list> element from "upload_manager" to "upload-manager", and the loading problem went away. Strange but true!

I think the @shorthand must only match the entry (element name) in the cocoon.xconf. So the wiki entry looks ok for me. Are you sure, you only changed it in the roles file?

Now that I have 2.1.9 installed, I'm coming back to this issue. You're quite right: the user.xroles @shorthand simply needs to match the element name in cocoon.xconf.

However ... what I am finding is that if they _do_ match, I get an initialization problem:

Message: org.apache.cocoon.components.upload.FileUploadManagerImpl

Description: org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException: Could not get class

Sender: org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet

Source: Cocoon Servlet
-----------------------------------------------------

The file cocoon-uploads.jar (which contains the definition of the FileUploadManagerImpl class) is sitting in the directory WEB-INF\lib, but Cocoon is clearly failing to find it. Do I need to declare it somewhere else, e.g. in the sitemap?
