Windows/Tomcat/Cocoon Installation --htm attached.
Greetings!
I don't know whether this will be of any use, but I made out a how-to for
installing Cocoon 2.1.3 on Tomcat 5.0.18 on Windows 2000 with
j2sdk1.4.2_01.
I thought it just might be useful but, if not, my apologies for wasting
your time and you can just ignore this email. It may also not be the best
way of doing things, but at least it seemed to work for me. Hope it
helps.
Many thanks.
best, Jim

That'd be great, but there is very little here which is specific to your
set up. These same instructions should work for:
1) any recent tomcat
2) any jdk1.4
3) any cocoon release or cvs snapshot.
4) any windows environment (except probably 95, 98, maybe ME)
Sometimes specifying too much version specific information makes people
feel that the instructions they need aren't present because they are
using a slightly different version - in this case just not true.

This is a great idea!!! Actually I've spent 2 days
figuring out how to do it (eventually I installed
Linux=)

Windows/Tomcat/Cocoon Installation Tomcat
5.0.18/Cocoon 2.1.3 on Windows 2000 with j2sdk1.4.2_01
Installing Tomcat and Cocoon is easy if you know how,
but can be complicated if you don't. As I went through
it, I promised myself I would make notes once I'd
finished. Outlined below are the steps I took to
install Cocoon 2.1.3 on Tomcat 5.0.18 on Windows 2000
with j2sdk1.4.2_01. I hope they help.
11 February 2004
The following assumes you have already installed
Sun's Java Development Kit (j2sdk1.4.2_01) in
directory c:\j2skd1.4.2_01.
Do this: Download the file called 5.0.18.zip from
the Tomcat 5.0.18 section near the bottom of the
Release Builds section:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi
Consider this: It may be possible to use the .exe or
Deployer files instead, but I used the zip.
Do this: Extract everything to c:\ using Winzip,
which should create a directory called:
c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18
Consider this: You can tell Winzip will create a
subdirectory by looking at the value in the path
column on the right hand side.
Do this: Set the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME
environment variables.
Right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced >
Environment variables... > System Variable pane,
New... etc.
JAVA_HOME
c:\j2sdk1.4.2_01
CATALINA_HOME
c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18
Consider this: Environment variables can also be set
in a DOS box using DOS commands, but in that case,
they are only meaningful within and for the lifetime
of that DOS box.
Do this: Test the server by running the batch file
provided.
c:\jakarta-tomcat\bin\startup.bat
Consider this: This is only one way of running the
server. A better way is to install it as a Windows
service.
Do this: View the default installation screen. The
screen should be available when you see the message
INFO:Server startup in <nnnnn>ms, by visiting:
http://localhost:8080/
Consider this: Tomcat listens on port 8080 by default.
Apache listens on port 80 by default. Browsers
normally hit on port 80 unless told otherwise.
Do this: Stop the server by running the batch file
provided.
shutdown.bat
Consider this: Because the batch file appears to hang,
you will need to run this batch file from another DOS
window.
Do this: Install Tomcat as a Windows service by
running the batch file provided.
c:\jakarta-tomcat\bin\service.bat
Consider this: Windows services can be controlled
independently throught the Services control panel.
Do this: Change the service status to automatic for
automatic start on reboot. The service should be named
Apache Tomcat in:
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
Consider this: You can start, stop and restart any
service using the corresponding button in the top
panel
Do this: Download the file called
cocoon-latest-src.zip from:
http://cocoon.apache.org/mirror.cgi
Consider this: It is necessary to download the entire
source which can take a long time.
Do this: Extract the source to c:\ using Winzip,
which should place everything in a directory called:
c:\cocoon-2.1.3
Consider this: You can find more details on installing
Cocoon in c:\cocoon-2.1.3\INSTALL.txt
Do this: Build the binary. It may run for quite a
while, in my case 30 mins.
build
Consider this: During this time there will be many
disturbing warning messages. You can see other build
options by doing build -projecthelp
Do this: Test Cocoon in the Jetty Servlet
container.
cocoon servlet
Consider this: Jetty is provided with Cocoon so that
it can be tested independently of a separately
installed servlet container such as Tomcat.
Do this: View the Cocoon default installation
screen here:
http://localhost:8888/
Consider this: Jetty listens on port 8888, but in a
moment, we will configure Cocoon to run with Tomcat on
port 8080.
Do this: Stop the Jetty server.
^C
Consider this: Although inelegant, I couldn't find any
other way of stopping Jetty.
Do this: Copy over the Xalan parser to Tomcat. Bit
vague about this step, but seemed to work for me.
copy c:\cocoon-2.1.3\lib\endorsed\xalan.2.5.2.jar
c:\jakart-tomcat-5.0.18\common\endorsed\
Consider this: The docs suggested copying over
xercesXXX.jar and xml-apis.jar, but I omitted to
because the versions that came with Tomcat were dated
after those shipping with Cocoon.
Do this: Copy over the webapp directory hierarchy
as a subdirectory of the Tomcat webapps directory
named cocoon
xcopy c:\cocoon-2.1.3\build\webapp
c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.18\webapps\cocoon /D /S /V /I /F
Consider this: Alternatively, using Windows explorer,
drag and drop the webapp folder into the webapps
folder whilst holding down the <ctrl> key. Then select
the webapp folder, hit F2, and rename it cocoon.
Do this: Restart Tomcat from the services window:
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
Consider this: Tomcat should find Cocoon when it
restarts.
Do this: View the Cocoon startup screen which
should be avaliable here:
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/
Consider this: The first time you run Cocoon, it will
take some time to compile. You can create a more lean
and mean Cocoon by creating and editing the files
local.build.properties and local.blocks.properties.
Do this: Delete the source if you desire to save
space and keep things tidy.
rd /S c:\cocoon-2.1.3
Consider this: Before you rebuild Cocoon, clear out
the build directory by doing build clean
