What Hibernate fiasco?? I thought Cocoon & Hibernate worked pretty
well together?

Great thanks heaps for that Jason. Thats pretty much what I thought was the
case with the MVCs. I am an XML processing fanatic, so I am heading Cocoon all
the way:-) It is interesting to see that Cocoon and Spring are getting closer
links. Lets hope it doesnt turn out like the whole hibernate fiasco!

The simplest integration is probably to initialize the Spring
application context in web.xml with a ContextLoaderListener:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
Then you can get access to the application context from anywhere you
have a cocoon Context object, e.g. from flowscript:
var appCtxt = cocoon.context.getAttribute(
Packages.org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext.ROOT_WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE
);
var myService = appCtxt.getBean("myServiceBean");
There are also other techniques for getting access to Spring managed
services; do a search for "spring" at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon for
some examples.
The next major version of Cocoon (2.2 or 3.0, not sure what it will end
up being labeled) has actually been changed so that it uses Spring
internally for its component management, so the integration should be
that much cleaner.
In terms of Spring MVC, I don't know how it and Cocoon would play
alongside each other, since Cocoon is itself an MVC framework.
Personally I've never seen a need to use Spring MVC when I've got such a
good one in Cocoon. :) I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had
experience combining them though.
