Still having problems with Cocoon and Tomcat
In order to provide the reader(s) with more information on my problem I
have written down my installation procedures as well as the error(s) I
am getting. This may seem like a long winded message but I am stumped.
I've browsed the FAQ's and documentation. I've found several
conflicting opinions on this so if anyone can help PLEASE let me know.
Thanks,
Anthony
So here goes:
First the error(s):
Cocoon 1.7.3
Publishing Engine could not be initialized.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon.init(Compiled Code)
at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.initServlet(Compiled Code)

Now the steps I followed in order to configure the servers:
#How to compile Apache with DSO
./configure --with-layout=Apache --prefix=/home/akalm/XML/apache_1.3.12
--enable-module=so $@
make
make install
in httpd.conf:
set User to akalm
set Group to develgrp
=================================================================
#How to compile Tomcat
First, you must have the jakarta-ant workspace checked out parallel
to this workspace (jakarta-tomcat). Without jakarta-ant, you won't
be able to build. When you have completed your downloads and checkouts,
you should have the following directory structure:
$JAKARTA_HOME/
jakarta-ant/ <-- Contains jakarta-ant files
jakarta-tomcat/ <-- Contains jakarta-tomcat files
To build, execute the following command in the jakarta-tomcat directory:
build.sh <-- Unix
This will build Tomcat into ../build/tomcat.
If you are running under JDK 1.2, you will need to ensure that the
"tools.jar" file from your JDK distribution is present on your
classpath.
The Java compiler is required by the JSP engine, which uses it when
converting JSP source files into Java class files.
Two scripts are provided for starting and stopping the server. To
start the server:
cd ../build/tomcat <-- Unix
bin/startup.sh
======================================================================
#Building mod_jserv
cd /home/akalm/XML/jakarta-tomcat/src/native/apache/jserv
/home/akalm/XML/apache_1.3.12/bin/apxs -c *.c -o mod_jserv.so
cp autochange.so /home/akalm/XML/apache_1.3.12/libexec/
cd /home/akalm/XML/apache_1.3.12/libexec/
mv autochange.so mod_jserv.so

This path should be relative to context the servlet is within:

Morten YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did follow ch09.html and it's pretty good but the information you provided below helps
to correct the information which, I assume, is out of date or simply wrong. The
information you so kindly provided below is the correct information. I can now sleep
peacefully tonight. Thank you!

Re: Still having problems with Cocoon and Tomcat
Posted by Morten Primdahl <mo...@caput.com>.
Install Cocoon under Tomcat as described here:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javaxml/chapter/ch09.html
Some packages might have changed version number, do so
accordingly in your config files. Then locate the
cocoon.properties and copy it to
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF
in your $TOMCAT_HOME/conf dir, use
<param-value>
WEB-INF/cocoon.properties
</param-value>
in the web.xml config file. Important, it's relative to the document
root. Don't know whether chapter 9 has been modified to
reflect this. But follow the above and it will work.
