Installing Cocoon2 on WLS 6.1sp2 Solaris

Question

Hi all,
I have been following the installation instructions on the cocoon site, but perhaps it is a bit dated (specifically for WLS 6.0) and so far I have not had any luck. I tried both the WAR file and expanding cocoon and neither method worked.
Has anyone got Cocoon2 and WLS 6.1sp2 to work? My work environment is on Solaris but any points on Windows would be greatly appreciated also.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Answer 1

Hi Paul,
this is how I got Cocoon 2.0.4 running on WLS 6.1.4
(Download the Cocoon source from http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/dist/)
Remove all but the following JARs from lib/optional
commons-jxpath-1.0.jar
jing-20020724.jar
resolver-20020130.jar
servlet_2_2.jar
commons-logging-1.0.jar
jtidy-04aug2000r7-dev.jar
rhino-1.5r3.jar
xt-19991105.jar
Update lib/jars.xml to reflect these changes
build clean
build webapp -Dinclude.webapp.libs=yes
Copy the following JARs to a suitable lib-directory:
xercesImpl-2.0.0.jar
xml-apis.jar
xalan-2.3.1.jar
xt-19991105.jar:
java/lib/tools.jar
Deploy the resluting cocoon.war and you should have a Cocoon up and running that
can do the XML->HTML Hello World sample. The status page works fine too.
If you need a more competent Cocoon, try adding the required JARs on the class
path (or add them the to your webapp-build if you are confident that WLS are capable
of handling their manifests).
Good luck

Hi all, forgive me if this is not the right "Install" forum, but I am
looking for
some pointers/success stories in running Cocoon 2 with WLS 6.1 SP2 (Solaris
preferably).
I have followed the official installation instructions from Cocoon and
searched
the weblogic newsgroups, but none of them worked. Perhaps none of them
were specifically
about 6.1sp2.
If anyone has any advice or pointers it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
