Hi,
Thank you Daniel for your support and deep explanation.
I have chosen the second solution because i don´t like a weblogic specific code. I attach the resulting code DeploymentUtil class.
Because of Weblogic is a very popular application server, I think this error would be consider a bug and IMHO a patch should go in future cocoon releases.
BR,
Juanjo

Some background:
Blocks can contain resources that are intended to be available in e.g.
sitemaps. These resources are put in a directory called COB-INF at the
root of the directory structure of a block. The blocks are ordinary jars
that are put in WEB-INF/lib (during development the blocks can expanded
also).
The task of DeploymentUtil.deployBlockResources is to search the class
path for all urls to COB-INF resources. If the url is of the type file:
the url and the block name is registred. Then the resources in the
COB-INF directory of the block is available through the blockcontext:
source. If the url is a jar, the resources in the COB-INF directory are
extracted to a temp directory in the file system and the url of the
extracted resources is registred together with the clock name.
For Weblogic it seem like the classloader contains zip: urls for
resources. A solution would be to extend the
DeploymentUtil.deployBlockResources method with a case for the zip:
protocol, it would be similar to the jar: case but a little bit more
compliacted as the zip protocol doesn't know about mainfest attributes.
A problem with this is that the ZipUrlConnection is Weblogic specific,
so the protocol handling code in deployBlockResources would need to be
extracted to some components.
Another, and much simpler solution if it works, would be to just replace
"zip:" with "jar:" in the url string, create a new url object from the
patched url string, and use the existing jar handling code.
