Julian I was assuming your users *were* likely to be making changes at runtime. Or do you see this as a once-off process, completed before the app is even launched? AFAICS, Cocoon in general seems pretty scalable - see previous threads for more details - my experience is that the limiting factor is usually memorry (Java being v. memory hungry). CForms are useful for extracting data from both XML and Java Beans... not sure about both at the same time, though - perhaps post separately on this topic and see if anyone else has tackled this use case.

How scalable is a solution based on parsing XML at runtime, especially if I need to access the XML in my Java domain model (aka have to parse the XML into POJOs/XMLBeans) so users and the system can update the info?
