XSP Question

[qu...@metronet.com]

I've just upgraded Tomcat to 3.2.1 and Cocoon to 1.8.1 and I'm having a
problem
that I'm interpreting as an XSP problem. Hopefully someone can steer me back
onto
the road... :^)

Install details:
Mandrake Linux 7 (Redhat with extensions)
Sun Java 1.3.0
Apache 1.3.14
Tomcat 3.2.1
Cocoon 1.8.1

The page: localhost/cocoon/samples/index.xml works as well as most of the
links from this page, but some that don't from this page are the "Dynamic
content Generation" section, the ones involving XSP, as well as the other
sample virtual URL: localhost/cocoon/Cocoon.xml. The first XSP example
localhost/cocoon/samples/xsp/page.xml?message=Hello%20World!
returns:

Error: 500

Location: /cocoon/samples/xsp/page.xml

localhost/cocoon/Cocoon.xml returns the same error with different location:

The other XSP samples all give the same error. I determined that
org/apache/cocoon/Frontend
is in the cocoon.jar file which is in my tomcat/lib, and if I start Tomcat
without Apache,
cocoon.jar show to be loaded in the CLASSPATH automatically along with the
other
JAR files in the tomcat/lib directory. As far as I can tell xerces.jar is the
first parser in
the CLASSPATH, and I don't understand why this class(es) aren't begin found.

Can anyone tell me what I missed in the 1.8.1 install doc or how I can
determine
why XSP is not working?

Thanks, BJ

I found the problem not 5 minutes after hitting the Send button on the original
Email. Sorry for bothering you guys. I now have Cocoon 1.8.1 working with
Tomcat standalone as well as Apache-->Tomcat.

I would like to know, has anyone has put together any other documentation or
tutorials on using Cocoon other than the included samples?

Thanks again, BJ
