In the root of your project folder you will see a rcl.properties file looking 
sth like this:

#com.nxp.spider2.shared.service%classes-dir=./target/classes

Just comment it out and this will tell the reloading classloader to reload 
files from the target/classes folder.

As so often happens, asking for help generated some further thoughts and I was 
able to get things working better.

Although I had added a COB-INF/sitemap.xmap to src in my block 
(e-17-pub/src/main/resources/COB-INF/sitemap.xmap), I noticed that the target 
(e-17-pub/target/classes) did not have COB-INF/sitemap.xmap.

I quit jetty, and ran "mvn jetty:run" again -- and now the test sitemap works.

So apparently the problem was that my changes in the src tree were unnoticed.

The next question is, what is the best-practice way to develop? I don't think 
the intention is that every time I make a change, I'm supposed to stop and 
restart jetty in order to see my changes.

Maybe I misunderstood this paragraph from Francesco:


Coming to you question above: when developing, you only need your block - i.e. 
"mysite". Since cocoon blocks feature the reloading plugin, just launch your 
block with "mvn jetty:run" and start playing with 
mysite/src/main/resources/COB-INF/sitemap.xmap. All your changes will be 
immediately available.

Does this mean immediately after I restart jetty? Or immediately after I make 
changes? If the latter, what am I doing wrong, that I don't see this happening?

Thanks again!

Lars

Francesco,
Thanks for your patience. I feel like I'm very close, but I apparently still 
don't have some of the concept understood correctly, because things are not 
working for me.

Notice that the base URL for the request is 
e-17-pub/./src/main/resources/COB-INF/
yet Cocoon doesn't seem to be looking at 
e-17-pub/./src/main/resources/COB-INF/sitemap.xmap.

Any ideas? Is it really running the webapp instead of the block? In that case 
do I need to put a mount command (or equivalent) in the webapp's sitemap to 
direct URLs to my block?

Thanks,
Lars
