RE: Steps to add a new transformer

[Geoff Howard <gh...@crosswalk.com>]

- do they sit in WEB-INF/classes or
WEB-INF/classes/org/cast/cocoon/transformation ?
- is the endquote missing in <map:transform type="dyntrax/> also missing in
your sitemap?
- what do the logs in WEB-INF/logs say?

Subject: Steps to add a new transformer


Hi,

I'm attempting to add a new transformer to cocoon - using 2.0.3.
Unfortunately, I end up with this error when I try to access the pipeline
that uses the new transformer:

UnnamedSelector: ComponentSelector could not find the component for hint:
dyntrax

This seems to be a problem for at least several folks, judging from the
archives, but I haven't seen and explanation or solution.  Interestingly, I
can add a new generator successfully.

The sitemap entries I've been using look like this:

First the transformer

<map:transformer logger="sitemap.transformer.dyntrax" name="dyntrax"
    pool-grow="2" pool-max="32" pool-min="8"
    src="org.cast.cocoon.transformation.DynamicTraxTransformer">
    <use-request-parameters>false</use-request-parameters>
    <use-browser-capabilities-db>false</use-browser-capabilities-db>
    <use-deli>false</use-deli>
</map:transformer>


Then the pipeline, hardcoded for testing


<map:match pattern="cast-d">
    <map:generate src="cast/chapter5_4.xml"/>
    <map:transform type="dyntrax/>
    <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

The classfiles all sit in the WEB-INF/classes directory.

Any advice as to what step I'm missing?  It seems as though there ought to
be some registration step so the component selector can see this new
transformer, but I can't find any reference.  Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Chris

They're in ...org/cast/cocoon/transformation - should've been more clear 
there...

No, just a transcribing error...

Here's the contents of the various log files, not sure I can make sense 
of them.

error.log is empty:

access.log, sitemap.log and core.log are attached

Thanks for your help.
