How can I publish XML DocBook files to HTML using Cocoon (or Exet er)?

Hi All,
I'm trying to publish my XML DocBook documents to my Intranet using the XMLS
Exeter XML Web Server (a "distribution" containing Apache and Cocoon, see:
http://www.xmls.com ). 

I'm using Norman Walsh's DocBook XML and XSL files for a first test.
Unfortunatley, Exeter (that is: Cocoon) seems to be unable to use Norman's
XSL files for converting my XML/DocBook doc to HTML (that is perfectly
reasonable: this is not a complain, of course).

Does anybody can tell me how I can publish my XML DocBook files using
Exeter/Cocoon and Norman's XML and XSL files?
Anybody did try it before?
Any known issue?
Any other suggestion?

Slowly, as a rule ;). The DocBook XSL files are incredibly big, so
don't expect it to be fast; we're talking nearly ten minutes on my
P-II workstation using cocoon2 - I've not even tried it in cocoon1.x
so I don't know. I had a few problems in the XSL translations and a
few issues with entities being incorrectly escaped and things, but
other than that, it seemed to work. Maybe you have an old version
of Xalan? (I'm using the current CVS version).

ISTR that Exeter that we looked at (about 2 weeks ago) shipped with Cocoon
1.3!!! This may explain a lot *8-)

My very humble suggestion? Don't trust unofficial distributions.

What version of Cocoon does Exeter ship?

Hey sorry for the delayed reply, but:
a) did you get this working? (was the Cocoon version the problem?)
b) if working, is there anything you can remember which would be useful
for a howto?
c) if not working, I'm setting this up at the moment too, and if you are
still interested, I shall keep you posted.

Thanks,
Pete Farmer
