Hi,
In my present job, I work on a project which stucks in
a crises.
Maybe the cocoon framework can help us to solve this problem.
I _don't_ to ask here for a complete solution and I _don't_ want
to steal your ideas.
Maybe I can get a little discussion to determine the limits and the
possibilities of cocoon.
We shall develop a web based "office" plattform. At the beginning
the customer forced us to use a content management system for
developing, but this fails with the complexity of the whole project.
Following background:
It schould be possible, that the user can write documents over
a web enabled interface, with links, pictures, like in word.
Maybe this job can be done by a Java Applet. The focus
for the user is content. Formating the document shall be
done in the background, because to keep the corporate design
consistent. The only formating the user can do, is a little bit
text formating (bold,italic,...). The document can exist in
different language.
The document itself can be exported to different formats
(PDF, rtf, ...), for exchanging the documents between different
standard programs and maybe to give it a copyshop for a
nice print....
Behind all there is a little publishing workflow.
The whole document creation shall be done in a private, secure part
of the web interface with a user/group management.
But beside the private part, there is a public one, in which the
documents can be displayed and be accessed by the everybody.
Because I developed a little bit for cocoon2, I think cocoon
is a framework, we can use here. My idea is to structure the
documents in xml and do formating it with xsl.
The webinterface for the application is quit static and a
little bit dynamic (lists, etc..). Maybe we can use here here too?
What is your opinion?
Cheers
Gerhard
