Hi!
I think 2 weeks are definitively not enough time to costumize Cocoon to fit your needs. There is no reason to use Cocoon with all its features (XSP) as it is. I found out that many different ways are possible to find your goal. JSP is not an alternative to cocoon, its just another different technology. To crack some JSPs together is not recomended for profesional development. If you believe in XML and the tecnology to deal with XML in webapplications, then you must find solutions for that. Some times an open source project is able to cover some requirements, but its necessary to develope your own solution inside a framework. The intention of a framework is to help you handling some basic circular functionatity, but a framework never will prevent you from implementing your own business logic - in the best case in a generic "framework-like" way. cheers Manfred [EMAIL PROTECTED] am 30.01.2003 12:21:55 Bitte antworten an [EMAIL PROTECTED]@inet An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: Thema: Time to go back to JSP. Cocoon just isnt ready. I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that cocoon is not ready for professional development. Unlike tomcat, or Ant, this product has serious things blocking its use in production systems. I personally am completely and utterly stopped by the classpath bug indicated here: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16580. Just another symptom of a product that needs more work to be used in professional products. That coupled with the lack of documentation makes the package difficult at best. I will possibly be back in a year or so when this technology has gone somewhere. This is assuming it is still alive by then. I have seen a plethora of new people come on this list and then just vanish. That doesn't bode well for its reputation. I don't want to take this step and throw away two weeks of work but the fact is that I also don't have time to wait for such massive bugs to be fixed and to spend another two weeks swimming through poor debugging tools. Its a massive bummer to me but in order to be true to myself I cant see alternatives. The fact is that however flawed JSPs are, I can crack together JSP pagers 40 times faster than cocoon pages. When it comes to deadlines, major bugs like this just stop a product cold. Anyway, Ill stop rambling now.
