Let me try to give a simple scenario where you want to insert data in your database, as an example. FE is the front-end (Cocoon for sure), BE is the backend (Cocoon maybe): 1. user submits an HTML form to FE:/newCustomer.html, with request parameters "firstname=Joe, lastname=Kool, operation=insert" 2. FE, probably using WebServiceProxyGenerator, relays the request in HTTP to BE:/insert/customer.xml, probably unmodified in such a simple case 3. BE process the request, inserts data in the database and returns an XML representation of the inserted data (or error message if it didn't work out). This BE HTTP/XML interface is fully testable, will most probably not change often, even if the backend itself changes. 4. FE converts the XML data (received through WebServiceProxyGenerator) to the desired (probably HTML) format, adds navigation features and returns the generated HTML page to the user. Does this help? -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
