You should listen to your own words...Cocoon is a *TOOL*...and as such it is not, nor has it ever been, intended as a cure-all for developing web applications. Perhaps someday it will be, but what it is now, is a very slick way to take content in XML form from your logic layer and use a flexible framework to translate that content to virtually any front end device conceivable. What you seem to be wanting someone to say about Cocoon is analagous to wanting them to say that a screwdriver sucks at cutting wood.

I'm not talking about system.out.println("<html><body> hi my name is " + name + "</body></html>"); I know what Cocoon is good for and I like it, however no technology is perfect and some things are done easier with other tools. - Kasper --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
