Has anyone else got feedback? I followed the installation instructions exactly, I hope (Tomcat 3.2dev, Cocoon1.7.5dev from CVS). Clicking on the first "[add]" button (item-add.xml?item=1), I get a form with no labels anywhere, empty drop-down lists and a label-less submit button. It seems that the tags aren't doing anything. To illustrate, the line: is supposed to generate: Title 1 Title 2 Title ... and doesn't. A possible cause: the FP class fpResource uses org.apache.xerces.parsers.RevalidatingDOMParser, which isn't present in the default xerces.jar for cocoon1 (1.0.3), cocoon2 (1.1.2), and is currently broken (and commented out in build.xml) in the latest xerces from CVS. I would have expected ClassNotFoundErrors, but didn't see any. Can't wait to get this going; it looks extremely cool :) Jeremy Quinn wrote: > > Dear All, > > A preview release of the FP TagLib is available. > It's a kind of "pre-cocoon-donation" version, I'm interested to see if it > runs on other's setups and if people think they'll find it useful. > > You can download it from here: > > http://www.media.demon.co.uk/fp/fp.sit.bin (MacOS) > http://www.media.demon.co.uk/fp/fp.zip (WIN) > http://www.media.demon.co.uk/fp/fp.tar.Z (UNIX) Unless I'm doing something dumb, I think this last file is corrupted. $ gunzip -t fp.tar.Z gunzip: fp.tar.Z: corrupt input. Installing from the zip, form/default.xml is horribly mangled (even for win;), ie it starts: �^@<^@?^@x^@m^@l^@ --Jeff > Apart from the install files, there are basic dox, a sample site and the > source code. > > There's a few issues to sort out before this could be included in Cocoon, > namespace, tag names, package names, code quality, etc. > It is difficult to tell at this stage which of these will change. > > Enjoy > > regards Jeremy > --
