How to apply patches correctly?

[Nicola Ken Barozzi <ba...@nicolaken.com>]

I read patch 5593-Form encoding enhancement, and it seems cool, so I tried
to apply it to my Cocoon and got this error in Cygwin:

Administrator@PC103 /cygdrive/c/jbprojects
$ patch -u < showattachment.txt
patching file `SetCharacterEncodingAction.java'
can't find file to patch at input line 70
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

File to patch:


I also tried the -d option but with no change.
What am I missing?

BTW, IMHHO the long license in all file is really annoying.
