You're calling Cocoon "the application". For me, the application is my "Environmental Treaty Information Service", and my "Work Flow Management System", and my "Guide to Global Population Projections", and my "Collaborative Document Authoring Environment". These applications could all be XML applications supported by Cocoon, but in Cocoon they do not get their own WEB-INF directory. In JSP, they do. Now, yes, I could create subdirs in cocoon/WEB-INF/classes or create separate jars for each in the libs, and have my apps each include their own. I'm still mulling this over, and maybe this is all fine. Still mulling this over. In gneral, I'm wanting something as transparent as a an Apache module, or add on Tomcat core classes. Something more transparent than Cocoon current seems. Don't get me wrong. I think Cocoon is great. It's really fantastic. It's a steep learning curve, but I think it's worth the climb. This is a hunt for the right way to configure an environment for multiple developers, multiple projects, multiple computers, and a staged releases.
