Steps for run some cocoon webapp with tomcat 5.0 (under Windows Xp)

  1. download and build the cvs distribution of cocoon or some binary distribution of cocoon 2.1.x
  2. download and install the apache tomcat 5 (5.0.19)

Some problems are the result of parsers conflicts:

  1. create the folder 'endorsed' in the jre/lib directory ( %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib )
  2. put there the xalan-2.x.x.jar, xercesImpl-2.x.x.jar and xml-apis.jar files (it can be found in %COCOON_HOME%\build\webapp\lib directory)
  3. replace the libraries in %CATALINA_HOME%\common\endorsed with the group of jars indicated
  4. create your Context (in tomcat 5.0 you don't have to modify the server.xml file; just put a xml file in the %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\Catalina\localhost directory), for example:
<Context path="/coarts-site-0.15" docBase="C:\desarrollo\0.15\webapps\coarts-site-0.15\build\webapp"
        debug="0" privileged="true" reloadable="true" usenaming="true">
</Context>

%JAVA_HOME%

is the install directory of j2sdk;

%CATALINA_HOME%

is the install directory of ApacheTomcat5;

%COCOON_HOME%

is the path of your build distribution of cocoon
