RE: enhydra & cofax

Terry,

 

Here’s the status on trying Cofax on Enhydra - tried to load the Cofax servlets into Enhydra (used command line 'app wizard', used admin tool, followed both cofax and enhydra instructions on how to deploy servlets and java applications - drop jar file inside directory under /webapps, reconfigured the Enhydra Multiserver config file, checked the Cofax web.xml file, etc), checked that Java was well configured, etc. still no dice. I also tried to build other applications from scratch with Enhydra and they would work just fine.  My guess is that Cofax is looking for a parsing tool that is not included in Enhydra (see the error file) - so the next step would be to install such a tool and see if it works.

 

Here's a copy of the error file:

Thanks for your reply – any thoughts on the matter?

Ben,

 

Some time ago I looked briefly at Cofax, but I'm not exactly clear what you intend to do.  When you say 'its native Tomcat', are you saying that Cofax is currently implemented as servlets?  If so, I gather what you're trying to do is migrate these servlets into Enhydra Presentation Objects?

 

Regards,

 

Terry

Greetings all – we are in the middle of deploying a CMS system for our client and one of the requirements is that it work with Enhydra – instead of it’s native Tomcat.  The CMS system is Cofax – http://www.cofax.org.  Has anyone had any experience in deploying Cofax to work with Enhydra?

 

I look forward to your replies!

 

TIA – and Happy Thanksgiving
