No need to put in your block manually, just declare it in your block's POM, something like this for MySQL:

<dependency>
      <groupId>mysql</groupId>
      <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
      <version>5.1.6</version>
</dependency>

So long as your Maven repositories are correctly configured, Maven should download the jar, place it into your local Maven repository. Cocoon's build process will automatically add it to your webapp or mvn:jetty config.

Cheers,

Robin

Hi, mark; thanks fo your response.

To answer your question: I want to use the MySQL drivers for development,
but the final production application shall run with MS sqlserver.

So from your remark what shall i conclude ?
I have to add a class loader of my own ?
no, probably not. cocoon will provide one ...
hmm. just place the driver anywhere into my own block ?
Shall i create a lib submenu under

    src/main/resources/WEB-INF/lib

right within my block sources ? And maven would sort out where to put it
and cocoon will grab from where maven has put it ?
That would make sense to me ...
But probably the truth is different ;-)
So which options do i have ?

regards,
hussayn

- concerning the driver i read in the docs:

  "In order to load driver class create file databases-
drivers.properties

   ok, this is self explaining. But where do i actually place the
driver ?
   cocon doesn't scan my entire file system to find a jar file which
contains
   the driver, no ?

Well yes, it sort of does.  I mean, not that Cocoon has its own
special code to do that, but this is what a classloader does, isn't
it? :-)

What driver are you going to use?
