IllegalAccessException: Object is not a Component

["Schweer, Christian" <Ch...@sdm.de>]

Hi folks,

is tried to write my own transformer but I always get the following
exception:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Object mcp.prototyp.cocoon.MCPLog is not a
Component

Want I did (so long):

- I took the original LogTransformer and replaced the classname with MCPLog,
changed the package, added import-statement for
org...cocoon.transformation.*; nothing else -> compiled without errors,
should be the same functionality
- I have the directory containing the directory "mcp" in my classpath
- I have defined			
   <map:transformer name="myLog" src="mcp.prototyp.cocoon.MCPLog"/>
  in my sitemap (but not used it in any pipeline)

according to the hints I found in the mail-archive of this list 
- I added the path to the init-param "extra-classpath" and changed the
init-param "init-classloader" to "true" (both in web.xml)
- tried to put the class into org.apache.cocoon.transformation

But I still have the error. I have the assumption, that I have a path error
or did something wrong with the avalon-component configuration, did i?

I'm rather puzzled. Any suggestion appreciated!!

Thx in adv,
Christian
