WebLogic 5.1 + Cocoon

Question

Hi all,
I am posting the steps involved in integrating Cocoon 1.7.4 with Weblogic 5.1
-- in the hope that it will be useful for some of the XML gang. I received some
good help from Philip Aston, Jim Typrowitz, James Scott et al. from the Cocoon
mailing list.
Thanks

1) Added the following lines to weblogic.properties
#Cocoon Stuff added by Sai
weblogic.httpd.webApp.cocoon=/weblogic/myserver/cocoonwar
weblogic.httpd.register.*.xml=org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon
weblogic.httpd.initArgs.*.xml=\properties=cocoon.properties
2) Created a directory "cocoonwar" under /weblogic/myserver
3) Copied the "WEB-INF" directory from cocoon-1.7.4/src to
/weblogic/myserver/cocoonwar
4) Verified that the directory includes the file web.xml
5) In the line in web.xml that has cocoon.properties, replaced the line with
<param-value>./WEB-INF/cocoon.properties</param-value>
6) Copied the cocoon.properties file to /weblogic/myserver/cocoonwar/WEB-INF
7) Made sure that the repository directory specified in cocoon.properties file
is "./repository"
processor.xsp.repository = ./repository
8) Created a sub-directory /weblogic/myserver/cocoonwar/repository
9) Copied the samples directory (/cocoon1.7.4/samples) to
/weblogic/myserver/public_html/samples
10) Created a directory c:\jars and copied cocoon.jar, xerces_1_0_3.jar,
xalan_1_0_1.jar,
fop_0_12_1.jar, jaas.jar, jndi.jar, ldap.jar,ldapbp.jar, providerutil.jar,
stylebook-1.0-b2.jar
11) In startWebLogic.cmd file replaced the "set PRE_CLASSPATH=" line with
set PRE_CLASSPATH=c:\cocoon-1.7.4\lib\cocoon.jar;c:\jars\xerces_1_0_3.jar;
c:\jars\xalan_1_0_1.jar;c:\jars\fop_0_12_1.jar;
c:\jars\jaas.jar;c:\jars\jndi.jar;c:\jars\ldap.jar;c:\jars\ldapbp.jar;
c:\jars\providerutil.jar;c:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;c:\jars\stylebook-1.0-b2.jar
12) Where JAVA_CLASSPATH is being set in startWebLogic.cmd, appended the
following
;c:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;c:\jars\cocoon.jar;c:\jars\xalan_1_0_1.jar;
c:\jars\xerces_1_0_3.jar;c:\jars\fop_0_12_1.jar;c:\jars\servlet_2_2.jar;
c:\jars\stylebook-1.0-b2.jar;c:\jars\jaas.jar;c:\jars\jndi.jar;c:\jars\ldap.jar;
c:\jars\ldapbp.jar;c:\jars\providerutil.jar
13) Restarted weblogic and try accessing http://localhost:7001/Cocoon.xml and
http://localhost:7001/samples/index.xml -- assuming here that 7001 is the port
14) If it doesnt work, try copying cocoon.properties to
\weblogic\myserver\public_html
15) In case you get an LDAP related error, then probably you are missing the
jndi.jar and
associated jar files. Try to get them from the Sun website. Or if you cant get
it
go ahead and comment the line
processor.type.ldap = org.apache.cocoon.processor.ldap.LdapProcessor
16) Make sure you have tools.jar on JAVA_CLASSPATH
