We have to develop a batch process application for generating some part of webiste content statically before hand, that can be served to the Users directly. This requires a multi step processing of the Source input content, which is in XML format, confining to a DTD.
The Fact that it requires multi step processing, forced us to think about using Cocoon The Pipeline structure can be used, where we will have to code different types of Generators for doing the processing, like generating the Citations pages, TOC, RSS feeds etc. Then the pipelines can be linked one after another for the multi step processing, using the Cocoon protocol. Can we have a pipeline with just a generator, which depends on output of another pipeline. Please suggest whether Cocoon will be a good choice for the same? Also I could not find any book written in past 2 years on the subject, the best one available prior to that was XML Applications with Cocoon. Please guide us on this too. As is evident that the documentation on the site is too scattered, and features of Cocoon are too much for a beginner to get started with :-) Thanks in Advance Aseem Monga Senior Software Engineer, HCL Technologies Ltd, STP-II, Infocity, Sec-34, Gurgaon, HR.
