Very strange problems while accessing wap examples provided with Cocoon 1.8 through Nokia WAP Toolkit 2.0!

[Mario Guzzi <gu...@tin.it>]

Hi.

I'm using Cocoon 1.8, Tomcat Web Server 3.1 (and JDK 1.2.2), Nokia WAP Toolkit 2.0. I'm also using Windows NT 4.0.

I would like to build a Wap application using Cocoon platform.

Cocoon installion works well. Everything is ok if I ues a web browser to access the examples provided with Cocoon.



The problem I have is that I cannot access the examples provided with Cocoon itself through the Nokia WAP Toolkit 2.0.

I cannot access both using the Nokia 7110 and the Blueprint phone simulations.

When I try to access the example called example-portfolio.xml using the Nokia 7110 device I get the following error message: "The page cannot be displayed".

If I use the Blueprint device I get the error message "Character encoding conversion failed" and then the Nokia WAP Toolkit asks me if I want to see Cocoon's response in a wml editor (the toolkit's one). I answer that I want to and the Toolkit shows me the right wml code:

<!-- This page was served in 421 milliseconds by Cocoon 1.8 -->

At this point I save this file as "test.wml". If I try to either or compile it I get the "character encoding conversion

failed" error again.

But if I type its URL in the Toolkit's browers it gets loaded and executed both on the Blueprint and on the 7110 Nokia Phones. That is to say everything is ok! Very stange, isn't it?

At the beginnig I started to think it was due to the fact I had to set web server's MIME types. So I tried to configure Tomcat's MIME type, putting a few lines in the file called "web.xml", but it doesn't work.

Then I tried to configure phone settings in order to make them using the Nokia WAP Server (a gateway). But nothing changed.

I hope you can help me solve this boring problem once and for all. This way I colud build my wap application using Cocoon.

Best regards!
