Definitely yes. From Cocoon website "Apache Cocoon is a web development framework" and its mission is to solve tasks similar yours (and more powerful). Cocoon has a lot of instruments that help developing with Cocoon (CocoonFlow, CocoonForms, pipelines etc) by deviding full task at some layers and implementing these layers separately. > And if yes, which way is the best? Cocoon contains a lot of capabilities but I take a risk to recommend to use the following: - CocoonFlow for organizing page flow of separate parts of functionality - CForms for form processing - JavaBeans for organizing business layer - some ORM tool for organizing persistence layer (eg I use Hibernate) > I thought to use the new CocoonForm.

CForms is stable and powerfull. > Thanks > Regards > Sylvain > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Best regards, Peter Velychko [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
