Certainly, if Cocoon had a Java component that enables it to be embedded within a Java application then this would be possible. In fact, this is a really good option. It gives a really low entry point into Forrest, but allows those with Cocoon skills to leverage its undoubted power.

(whatever happened to the Cocoon Bean?)

To answer my own question:

The CocoonBean is still unstable [1]

But there is the CocoonWrapper which looks like it could work [2]

I'll try an experiment in the prototype implementation.
