Why would you need to use JSP when you have Cocoon? You can simply forward control to Cocoon after Struts handled the request, performed actions, etc. If you use JSP then why you use Cocoon? -- Konstantin > > If you have experience, please let me know your suggestions/comments/lessons learnt/advice when you use both these products together. > > Thanks. > > --- On Tue 02/04, Robert Simmons < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > From: Robert Simmons [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2003 01:55:01 +0100 > Subject: Re: cocoon & struts together > > It was a painful road and I'm still nursing the bruises.
