Why not? Why can't the servlets be used as Generators, and feed cocoon like any
other generator? Cocoon can be used as a complete solution, but I see no valid reason
to avoid using (part of) it as a presentation layer. With aggregation and caching,
it's probably the best software out there for the job.
I don't know if there is a Servlet Generator, but that's another totally
different story.
