For my project I have used XSP to write actions.

Advantages:
- The is no need to do manual compiles. Cocoon will compile it when the
source has changed.
- The XSP can be stored in a location relative to a subsitemap instead of
the WEB-INF directory.

It took me a while to figure out how to do it (almost no documentation and
only a few entires in the mailing list archive).

If you need some help, let me know and I'll post a summary.
