trouble in loading slide configuration file

[Feng Zhou <fe...@netdrive.com>]

Hi, All,

I'm trying run slide on top of avalon on Linux.

When I run "./build.sh dist", I didn't see blocks for Catalina and Slide installed in dist/avalon/blocks.

Then, I copied slide.jar from dist/slide/lib to dist/avalon/blocks.  When I run "./run.sh" under dist/avalon/bin,
I got the following error,

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Avalon runner

parser            : org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
configurationPath : ../conf/
logFile           : ../logs/avalon.log
libPath           : ../lib/
bloackPath        : ./blocks/

Scanning jars for new Blocks...
  Found new jar: slide.jar
  Installing slide configuration file into ../conf/ from template

Unknown Exception
java.lang.NullPointerException:
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.getInputStream(ZipFile.java:117)
        at java.util.jar.JarFile.getInputStream(JarFile.java:275)
        at org.apache.avalon.loader.AvalonConfiguration.getAvalonConfig
uration(AvalonConfiguration.java:72)
        at org.apache.avalon.loader.Main.main(Main.java:64)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Sorry, I changed the target name for the Avalon distribution :-(
You now have to use avalon-dist
It's supposed to build two Avalon blocks :
- Catalina.jar
- Slide.jar

What you got is an (ugly) Avalon error because it fails to find a
slide.conf.xml file in the slide.jar.

dist target just builds :
- slide.jar containing the content management API classes
- webdav.jar is the DAV servlet (which uses slide.jar)
- doc.jar contains the JavaDoc of the content management API
