Launch of cocoon fails

           Summary: Launch of cocoon fails
           Product: Cocoon 2
           Version: 2.0.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: cocoon-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: webbasan@ceres.mundito.de


I tried to install and run cocoon on two other machines, which have JDK version
1.3 installed. Compiling went ok -- if you don't try to interrupt the
compilation process with Ctrl-C and restart it later without deleting the
partial build:

The documentaion claims that the optional *.jar files should go into
{cocoon}/lib, but that's not true: they should go into {cocoon}/lib/optional.
If you see the messages that state that optional files were not found, interrupt
the build, copy the files and try again, you get strange errors about classes
not in their designated packages...

These errors don't show if the you try to build with a fresh cocoon
distribution. I don't know anything abaout ant -- is there some equivalent to
"make clean" or "make distclean"???

After installing cocoon in the tomcat webapps directory and calling the cocoon
root-URL, I got an "class not found" error from tomcat. After some searching I
found out that tomcat required xalan.jar in its common/lib directory (the tomcat
building.txt file says that xalan is somehow required, but it's not available
in the binary distribution..?)

But now I get another error and I'm stuck:

org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: The sitemap handler's sitemap is not
available. Please check logs for the exact error.

I can't find any log message that seems at least marginally related to this
error. I also can't find anything in the docs that help make the things clearer.

I tested this (with the same results) on the following machines

FreeBSD 4.4, JDK 1.2.2 (Sun)
Irix 6.5.12, JDK 1.3.1 (Sun)
SuSE Linux 7.3, JDK 1.3.1 (Sun)

I used tomcat 4.0.3 (binary dist), cocoon 2.0.1 and installed xalan from the
"java_xml_pack-winter-01_01"/jaxp 1.2 files.
