The hsqldb cannot be used inside a WAR file.

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for your reply. Let me put my observations with regard to the deployment of cocoon 2.1 dev, I had rebuilt the cocoon 2.1 excluding the hsqldb block ((removed the # from block.properties for this enrty  #exclude.block.hsqldb=true)  which works fine except that I am not able to use the db related samples which is understandable. It looks that it is a bug relating to hsqldb block. From the exception list, it looks to me that avalon framework block component handler is not able to initialise this block either due to block problem or the subject block is not avalon framework compliant ? Since this problem is continuing from earlier version, I am reporting the same to bugzilla. 

By the way , u have mentioned to run the servlet container in expand war mode. The servlet container which i use (apache 4.1.2 ) does expand the wars on loading the war files and it does create the work directory for each block. 

Rgs,
Manoj
