Installation

Download cocoon-2.0.1-bin.tar.gz from http://apache.get-software.com/cocoon/BINARIES/ and unpack the file. The only important file contained in the archive is the file cocoon.war. Copy this file to the Tomcat web applications directory /var/tomcat4/webapps.

Now restart Tomcat and the archive file cocoon.war should be unpacked automatically, creating a directory in the webapps folder. Don't bother going on until the folder cocoon has been automatically created in the /var/tomcat4/webapps folder.

Tomcat takes several seconds to completely shutdown after the shutdown has been reported as OK. I usually check with ps –ef to see if all Java processes have disappeared before I restart it. On a Pentium II this might take ~20 seconds.
