Apache Cocoon 2.1.8 Released ---------------------------- The Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the new release of Apache Cocoon.
Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web RAD. The latest version is downloadable from http://cocoon.apache.org/mirror.cgi (Please use the mirrors to download the release - it might take a little bit more time until the latest release is available on all mirrors, so give the mirrors some time - approx. 24h to update.) This release includes many bug fixes and smaller enhancements. Most notable additions are: * Many enhancements to the forms block including AJAX support for partial updates to a form, a new tree widget, some experimental code for reusable form libraries (coded as a part of the Google Summer of Code project) and a sample showing how to create forms using relational databases with zero java code. * Cocoon Stack Traces: Ever felt overwhelmed when presented with a huge java stack trace when something goes wrong in Cocoon? Well, now you will instead see a Cocoon related stack trace, showing you precisely where the error occurred and in which Cocoon source files * Many enhancements to the portal block, including improved caching mechanisms, support for the Web Services For Remote Portlets (WSRP) standard, and provided components for database access using OJB. * Some small simplifications to the build process (can now exclude all blocks, then include just the ones you need) * Substantial reworking of the Cocoon documentation system. Documentation is now managed using Daisy (cocoondev.org/daisy). Because of this, the documentation is now not included within the main Cocoon release, but is available as a separate download as zipped HTML. * A new JCR block allowing access to JCR repositories such as JackRabbit (Java Content Repository specification was designed as a part of JSR170) * A new validation block providing the ability to validate XML in a pipeline chosing from a range of schema languages (DTD, XSD, RNG) * The ability to use Cocoon pipelines to render JSF pages (using the JSF controller) For more information about Apache Cocoon 2.1.8, please go to http://cocoon.apache.org.
