Installing actions
I wrote a HelloWorld-like action based on the docs located in my cocoon
install: /cocoon/documents/actions. I've put the file in
/cocoon/WEB-INF/classes (using the package name 'test', so
/test/HelloWorldAction.class).
I've put the following lines in my sitemap:
<map:actions>
<map:action name="hello-world" class="test.HelloWorldAction"/>
</map:actions>
<map:match pattern="hello">
<map:act type="hello-world">
<map:generate type="serverpages" src="hello/hello_world.xsp"/>
</map:act>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
and wrote hello/hello_world.xsp which tries to use the parameter passed by
HelloWorldAction.
However, if i try to reach host:8080/cocoon/hello, I get the following
Cocoon dump:
--
type internal-server-error
message UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the component for
hint: hello-world
description org.apache.avalon.framework.component.ComponentException:
UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the component for hint:
hello-world
--
..which means exactly afaik that Cocoon is unable to find the right Avalon
component for the specified action, eg. cant find HelloWorldAction.class
I've tried to check the internal Cocoon logs, but that did not helped me. So
the question is - anyone can please tell me what's wrong with the above
setup?
Thanks much in advance,
Christopher

Hi, Christopher. I am not sure, I understood your problem (please post your code) and if I can help
you, but I found something on the mail archive that may let you perhaps find the right track.
Best Regards, Arno

Aaron,
what you're missing here is, that {varOne} can't be substituted with
the desired value because Cocoon doesn't know about it. Put another
action around the session-propagator, namely the "RequestParamAction"
and set "parameters" to "true". Thus
<map:match pattern="getCAParms">
<map:act type="request">
<map:parameter name="parameters" value="true"/>
<map:parameter name="default.varOne" value="some default value for
varOne"/>
<map:act type="session-propagator">
<map:parameter name="varOne" value="{varOne}"/>
<map:parameter name="varTwo" value="{varTwo}"/>
<map:parameter name="varThree" value="{varThree}"/>
</map:act>
</map:act>
</map:match>
HTH
Chris.

I'm curious about your problem; what version of Cocoon & Tomcat are you

Re: Installing actions
Posted by Jozsa Kristof <dy...@kami.vein.hu>.
Arno,
I've tried both the cocoon/WEB-INF/classes/ dir, which should be
auto-included due to the Tomcat config, and setting the extra-classpath
in Cocoon's web.xml. In the first case, I get extreme errors, Cocoon cannot
even start up its default page. In the second case, the dir in
extra-classpath gets ignored, even if I set it absolute, relative, whatever.
I've found a way, where Cocoon *can* find my own Action class, however.
I've bundled my class file in the right directory structure in a .jar file,
and dropped it into WEB-INF/lib beside cocoonXX.jar and such. Using that way
(but only that), Cocoon can find my action class, and starts up correctly,
but situation still aint clear..
I'm trying to get a parameter from my Cocoon action. I've used the
standard way of setting the parameter on the java side, from act() returning
a Map object, just as I've seen it in the examples. I also try to reach it
the standard way from the xsp: <xsp-request:get-parameter name="hello"
default="did not worked"/>, and I only get the default value back every
time.
So the question still stands: can anyone show me a Hello-World like
example of setting a value from a Java action class which can be retreived
from an xsp with the correct sitemap setup?
I'm begging for this, I'm suffering on that very same problem for 1 whole
week, and I cant step any further.
Best regards,
Christopher

Re: Installing actions
Posted by Arno Illmann <ar...@ge.stalt.de>.
Hi Christopher, here is what Vadim Gritsenko wrote to me in a similar case. In the end I putted the
class file in the cocoon source and made a new build. This works, but it should be easier as shown
below.
Arno
-----------
Hi,
Here is couple of hints for you:
1) Extra-classpath the way you specified would never work. The correct path would be:
<init-param>
<param-name>extra-classpath</param-name>
<param-value>C:\Programme\ApacheGroup\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\clas \
ses</param-value> </init-param>
2) You do need to add ...\cocoon\WEB-INF\classes into classpath, because it is added
automatically by the servlet contaier (Tomcat)
If you have DatabaseSelectAction.class file in \
...\cocoon\WEB-INF\classes\org\apache\cocoon\acting, you do not required to add any \
classpath entries. Try to restart Tomcat and access sitemap again. If this fails, I \
do not have other pointers...

Maybe I need an entry in my WEB-INF/web.xml file like:
<init-param>
<param-name>extra-classpath</param-name>
<param-value>WEB-INF/classes</param-value>
</init-param>
??
That's all I could find out.. but that did not helped even :( Maybe I need
to set it somewhere else too to let Cocoon find my own Action class
somewhere?
Please help.. I'm getting lost completely.

Hi Chris,
thanks for your mail. I got so crazy on that problem (over 40 hours of
suffering :), so I decided not to use Actions at all. I'll solve the problem
using standard xsp logicsheet files; but I still have a class-finding
problem: if I want to include my Java class from xsp:include, it *only*
finds it if it's included in a jar file in cocoon/WEB-INF/lib/, it seems to
be unable to use the extra-classpath property setting from cocoon's web.xml.
Have you met this problem?
