problem with tomcat 3.2.1 and cocoon 1.8.2

[Ni...@blue-c.com]

Hi !

I have the following problem with the url mapping mechanisms of tomcat 
(but I am not sure whether this is not also a cocoon problem).
I want to do the following: 
        *) process all files that have the extension ".jsp" with the 
org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet servlet
                except all files in the directory /foo
        *) all files in the directory foo (whether the extension is .jsp 
or whathever) should be processed by the cocoon servlet.

now I configured my tomcat 3.2.1(I tried the same before with 3.1.1) the 
following way:
web.xml snippet in my test context:

<web-app>
 <servlet>
  <servlet-name>cocoon</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
   <param-name>properties</param-name>
   <param-value>WEB-INF/cocoon.properties</param-value>
  </init-param>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>cocoon</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/foo/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

the general tomcat web.xml contains the mapping for all .jsp files:

[...]
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>
            jsp
        </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>
            -2147483646
        </load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
[....]
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>
            jsp
        </servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>
            *.jsp
        </url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
[...]


Did I understand the mechanism correctly ??!

The requests seem to be forwarded to the cocoon servlet, but I alwas get 
the following exception 
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document following the 
root element must be well-formed.

the file is valid xml, the processing stylesheet is found and there is no 
other file in the foo directory.
When I try the same with the <url-pattern> directive *.xml, it works all 
correctly.

I need to find some criteria for tomcat to distinguish between normal JSPs 

and files that should be processed by the cocoon servlet except the file 
extension !
Because tomcat is unable to "understand" the content of the files it 
processes, the only possibility I found is the location of the files ... 
but as explained this didn't work out for me.

any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance,

Have you considered another extension,
and mapping it to cocoon?
