RE: Rendering Bug?

Hi Kirk,

Note that you will need to have xercesImpl.jar (Xerces2) + xml-apis.jar or 
xmlParserAPIs.jar in your classpath.  Actually, put them in one of the 
common lib directories in Tomcat 3.3.  Remove any older xmlc-* 
jars....especially the xerces 1.4.4 jar.

One quick way to see which jars you need in your WEB-INF/lib is to run "ant 
install" on the Barracuda build and then look at the resulting jars in 
WEB-INF/lib.  You can copy the jars from there.  The ones you need are (in 
alphabetical order)...

barracuda-core.jar
bcel-5.1.jar
gnu-regexp-1.1.4.jar
jtidy-r7-xmlc-2.2.jar
log4j-1.2.8.jar
log4j-sandbox-selector-0.1alpha.jar
log4j-sandbox-servlet-0.1alpha.jar
plankton.jar
xmlc-all-runtime-2.2.jar


To use the Localize taskdef, you will also need the following jar in your 
Ant build classpath...

WEB-INF/jars/xmlc-taskdef-2.2.jar and, obviously, barracuda-ant.jar

Also, read this:
http://www.barracudamvc.org/Barracuda/docs/build_deploy.html

Make sure also to check Barracuda's web.xml and event-gateway.xml to see if 
there are any changes you might need to take into account.  One thing might 
be the log4j initialization stuff (if you use it) which moved from 
Barracuda's codebase to the log4j sandbox codebase.  Of course, you'll need 
to use the InitServlet rather than the InitContextListener for Tomcat 
3.3.  You should really think about updating to the latest Tomcat 4.1.xx 
where you can take advantage of servlet 2.3.

If you have any specific issues with all this, let me know.
