I18nTransformater does not work in j2ee enviroment

[kristian meier <kr...@jentro.com>]

Hi,

this application works fine on a standalone tomcat, but not on jboss 
with tomcat.

the reason is quiet obvious:
the configuration of the I18nTransformater ask for the location of the 
catalogs for the different locales. (in the sitemap)

in the code itself this location is resolved and than check wether its 
SystemId starts with 'file:' or not. in the latter
case an exception like 'resource:/translations does not denote a 
directory' is thrown.

well, why this restriction to the file-url ?

or is there any reason to check the url at this point whether it is a 
directory or not ?

I didn't see a reason for this, since the XMLResourceBundleFactory the 
catalogue-name is
just appended at the directory and furthermore file-url is not an 
indicator for having an url to a directory.

I am happy to provide a patch to make the whole thing more flexible and 
to get it work on my application server !!

The limitation you are indicating was removed in Cocoon 2.1. If you are
using the 2.0 version then try to throw away that couple of out-dated lines
of code and everything should work.
