Ahh, perhaps I'm not making myself clear. Enterprise programmers have a sort of different view of server and client side. To us, anything requesting services of an EJB that isn't an EJB itself is a client. My vision is the following
EJBs implementing complex logic in a distributed manner. These Components will have a number of clients, some clients are things like the web and wireless devices (where I think cocoon might apply) other clients are things like GUI's, other businesses, other software and so on. Cocoon is a powerful presentation tier but I would never want to drop business logic into it. First of all it constrains me that all of my clients are web based. Second of all, its not scalable when talking about thousands of transactions per second (my normal ballpark in EJB systems) third of all its limiting in its scope. For these and other reasons I wouldn't use cocoon for more than a presentation tier. -- Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luca Morandini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Cocoon-users" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 2:45 PM Subject: RE: Smileys Cocoon sample... the sequel > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Robert Simmons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 2:35 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: Smileys Cocoon sample... the sequel > > > > > > dont forget that this is jsut a very small part of the application and a > > refactoring usign the sitemap is a good thing.
