Problem starting cougaar using communities

[Andreas]

Todd,

Thanks for the information.  What I am interested in is the non-legacy community service implementation.  

The only thing I was referring to the mesh demo for was how it was started up using a separate runtime.xml and society.xml files.  I like the separation of the different information which this enables.  It was when I tried it that I no longer could run my old application and got the result in my original email.  I will try configure it to use -Dorg.cougaar.society.xsl.param.communities=true

Thanks,
Andreas

Communities are not required for the mesh demo.  Remove the following plugin 
from your XML file:
   org.cougaar.community.CommunityPlugin

You're correctly setting the Cougaar template property:
   -Dorg.cougaar.society.xsl.param.template=single_node
which disables the legacy community service:
   http://cougaar.cougaar.org/software/latest/OnlineManual/Templates.html

If you require the legacy community service, you can enable it by either removing:
   -Dorg.cougaar.society.xsl.param.template=single_node
or adding:
   -Dorg.cougaar.society.xsl.param.communities=legacy
This will load the service and it should find your "communities.xml".

You may also be interested in the non-legacy community service implementation, 
which can be enabled with:
   -Dorg.cougaar.society.xsl.param.template=wan
or:
   -Dorg.cougaar.society.xsl.param.communities=true
Demo "join" and "test" plugins are included with Cougaar:
