Forrest on OS/390 Unix System Services

Hello,

am currently working on a project
in our departement that involves installing the apache forrest tool.

      I am currently trying to install forrest on USS for z/OS (OS/390). I
      encountered several problems having to do with ASCII-EBCDIC
      conversion. I found out that I had to translate shell scripts and
      some other files from ASCII to EBCDIC using the pax tool.I left Jar,
      Zip, XML Files as they were. Finally, I was able to execute forrest.

         The remaining problem:
         Forrest says

         BUILD FAILED:
         file:///u/uni1/apache-forrest-0.4-bin/forrest.build.xml:774: Could
         not validate document
         /u/uni1/test/src/documentation/content/xdocs/book-sample.xml

         when calling forrest
          after having called forrest seed.

         Perhaps it has something to with the dtds?

         On Linux and Windows, the same procedure works without problems.

         Have you got any ideas about this problem?

Could you try running 'forrest -v' (verbose) and paste the result?  That
should print the actual error.

Out the box, all the Forrest files should be in ASCII.  I think that by
default, the XML processor will assume UTF-8 encoding, so out-the-box
Forrest files should work.

If your XML files and DTDs are using EBCDIC, make sure they all have a
correct XML declaration at the beginning, e.g. <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ebcdic-cp-us"?>.
