[cocoon 1.8.2 Tomcat] New Site

[Dave Biggar]

The pages:       " http://javalets.com:8080/cocoon/FirstQuery/arboretum.xml"   are the framework for my new and ongoing 'arboretum' project.   I wanted a framework to illustrate an arboretum -- scientific and common names of the trees, a brief description of the trees, and lots of photos in different seasons.   I wanted the page to show the information/photo gallery for any particular 'genus/species/season' so it had to be interactive. For me, that means frames/javascript.   I wanted to incorporate a database containing  the tree information (but jpg would not be stored in the database).   I have no idea how many different ways there are to do the above but I decided on xml, xsl, css, cocoon, esql (with Mysql database), jdk1.3.1, Tomcat. I use 'xsp logic' to handle passing arguments to xml; I expect I might make more use of xsp. Evidently browser sniffing is easy with cocoon and I will incorporate that in the new future.   Comments welcome!   Dave Biggar   http://www.javalets.com/
