Hello Cocooners!
Are there still some people using cocoon in a production application?
We still use it in our standard product and now have the challenge to
migrate to java 1.8 and spring framework 4.2.
While this gives us a few issues to solve in terms of migrating code
relying on spring 3, we now face the challenge that we have to touch
cocoon again. As cocoon 2.2 heavily relies on spring, I wondered if
anyone of you guys has also ready tried to upgrade cocoon 2.2 to
spring 4.2 (and implicitly also to java 1.8 - also with JDK 1.8
bytecode compatibility turned on).
While the trunk of cocoon (2.2) still uses officially spring 2.5.5 it
actually runs without problems also with latest 3.2.x of spring. But
never tried with spring 4.x so far and according to our first tries
with our product I assume there could be some more (heavy) issues,
because minimum requirements to list of supported libraries has
changed quite a bit.

As an example the Cocoon Spring Configurator needed some small
changes, as it was not compiling against Spring 4.2. Other projects I
have not tried so far.
Is there an interest in the community to make this changes in the trunk?
Hi Gabriel,
I do run actually few Cocoon instances in production, but that's
3.0.0(-beta-1-SNAPSHOT...). I used to run Cocoon 2.1.X as well.
Unfortunately, I am not very confident with 2.2, but if you would like
to provide some patches against Spring Configurator [1] or any other
component to bring them to latest Spring version, I would be happy to
review and handle your contribution(s).
Please be sure to review our contribution docs[2].
Regards.
