Thanks for your reply David. The "Caching"-information-page ( http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Caching ) at Wiki seems to be out of order right now. Can you or someone else explain in short terms, how caching works in Cocoon? I am not asking you to explain me how to do it, I just want to get an understanding what Cocoon can possibly do.

I really like what Cocoon has to offer, but there are still a few questions that I need to ask before I start programming my first webapp with Cocoon. I hope you aren't angry with me if these questions were already asked before ;-) Well, here I go: As a fan of JSP I am going to use the JSPReader of Cocoon to build the dynamic content which will be translated into HTML via a XSL-file. There will be one XSL-files for each logical unit of the webapp, for example news2html.xsl, forum2html.xsl, navigation2html.xsl and so forth. My first question is, is it possible to cascade a xsl-files? For example if some content is the same on each page and I want to present it the same way, do I have to put the transformation-code in each xsl-file I got or I can I "include" a xsl-file and put the transformation-code in this one only? Of course you can My second questions is about caching. In my past webapps with JSP I used a cached-system called OSCache which can be found at http://www.opensymphony.com/oscache/. I *think* I am still able to use this or similar - external - cache-thechnologies for caching the dynamic-content part of my cocoon-webapp, right? But besides that I have read something about a Cocoon-internal caching-system. How does it - in short - work and am I able to use it at the same time I use the cache-system mentioned above for my JSPs?` Search in the Wiki for caching (http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Main) The third and last question is about performance: How much does the advantage of separation of code cost? I can imagine that with all the overhead cocoon comes along, webapps using cocoon are significantly slower than pure JSP webapps. Has anyone of you made experiences how much slower it is? Is it still fast enough Quite fast and modular, it uses internally SAX, the XML data is only parsed once. And you can easily create new components. Again I want to apologize if these questions were stupid or were already asked but I didn't know where else to ask them.
