I am considering using Cocoon for a large application. We are re-engineering a 20 year old mainframe based application that currently uses CICS/VSAM. The new application will be using J2EE architecture, EJBs and a RDBMS.
I've been kicking Cocoon's tires and I really like what I see - separation of concerns for business logic/model/view, flexible presentation options, component based, highly reusable, relatively easy to configure etc...
I can't seen to find any information comparing the performance of a Cocoon implementation vs. a standard JSP/Struts based implementation. I'm concerned about XSL and performance. With a business application that involves mostly dynamic content, can Cocoon offer reasonable performance for a WebApp and scale to thousands or tens of thousands of users. Our application could have as many as 300-500 concurrent http requests during peak business periods.
Also, my development team is experienced with XSL. I'm concerned about how they will react to XSL. They are experienced JSP developers. What kind of balking might I encounter? How can I get them to give XSL a fair assessment? Any tips on convincing them of the benefits?
I would love to hear from others who would like to share their experience.
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
