Trouble compiling custom generator

[Kamal Bhatt <kb...@tt.com.au>]

Hi
I followed more or less everything specified in the tutorial:

http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/tutorial/tutorial-generator.html

Now, even though I compile I get the following errors:

ImageInfoGenerator.java:6: cannot access
org.apache.avalon.framework.component.C
omponent
file org\apache\avalon\framework\component\Component.class not found
public class ImageInfoGenerator extends AbstractGenerator
       ^
ImageInfoGenerator.java:24: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable contentHandler
location: class ImageInfoGenerator
      contentHandler.startDocument();
      ^
ImageInfoGenerator.java:26: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable contentHandler
location: class ImageInfoGenerator
      contentHandler.startElement("", "example", "example", emptyAttr);
      ^
ImageInfoGenerator.java:28: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable contentHandler
location: class ImageInfoGenerator
      contentHandler.characters("Hello World!".toCharArray(),0,
      ^
ImageInfoGenerator.java:31: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable contentHandler
location: class ImageInfoGenerator
      contentHandler.endElement("","example", "example");
      ^
ImageInfoGenerator.java:33: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable contentHandler
location: class ImageInfoGenerator
      contentHandler.endDocument();
      ^
6 errors

Now, the only difference between the code's example and my case is the
name. The filename is the same is the same as the class. Now this is
probably my unfamiliarity with Java that is at fault, but I cannot see
what I am doing wrong. I have imported AbstractGenerator and I am
including cocoon.jar in the class path. I even tried to include files in
lib/endorsed and lib/core.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

That is it exactly, thanks. I thought I tried that, obviously I did it
incorrectly. The command to compile is:

javac -endorseddirs %COCOON_LOCATION%\build\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\ *.java

in the directory where the file is of course.  %COCOON_LOCATION% is where
the file is located.

You'll need more than just cocoon.jar in the classpath, you'll also need 
the avalon* jars and probably the excalibur* jars as well.  Wouldn't 
hurt to just use everything in Cocoon's WEB-INF/lib to be safe.
