Cocoon started out as a "web publication framework" but with the semi-recent additions of the flow control layer, I believe Cocoon has graduated to a "web application framework". > 2.Can a web application be built by struts+cocoon?

Well, I haven't done any work with Struts, and I haven't read the portlet specs so I'm not too familliar with that, either.. I might dig into it now that you mention it. You might want to download and install Cocoon, and check out the "Cocoon Control Flow" samples and see how they work. You may be pleasantly surprised :) There's also some introductory Control Flow docs on the Wiki at http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=GettingStartedWithFlow , but beware, because the Flow API changed after this was written.
