Hi,cocooners I have been using cocoon 2.1 for 4 years.Recent weeks I begin thinking about migration to cocoon 2.2.After some research and reading the post mail list like: http://marc.info/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=121215707010191&w=2 I still have some questions about migration. My apps base on cocoon 2.1.x ,using forms/portal/flowscript/jxtemplate a lot,and combine hibernate and spring.My apps run on tomcat or other web container,in most schemes,we just update some flowscript,form define xml or other jxtemplate xml file and don't need to restart the server(It's important for running system).After I did some research on cocoon 2.2,I got theses question: 1.Does my custom app in cocoon 2.2 must be a block?Can I just using the core block and place files(like sitemap/resource files) just like cocoon 2.1? The answer decide if I can migrade from 2.1 to 2.2 without much work 2.If ONLY block can exist in cocoon 2.2 ,can block exist in a file system style and not in a jar style under a production environment? I pack a cocoon 2.2 war form trunk and run it on tomcat,I found the block file will be exact to tomcat work directory,So cocoon 2.2 MUST run like 2.1 when pipeline needs,I'm just want to know if I can do it not by block jar but block directory and the change in the directory will automatic publish to tomcat work directory.The answer decide if I can just update resource files and not update jar file,in most cases this means no reload required. 3.If block jar style is required,can the Cocoon Block preparation work under production environment? In my experiences only spring osgi or similar provide jar hot replace ,can Cocoon Block preparation provide this? 4.How does Cocoon Block preparation provide RAD with other web container not control by maven?Or how to confige maven to use other web container like tomcat? My team never use maven and all using Eclipse base IDE and run apps in IDE(tomcat mostly),I just want to know if I can just cut the leaning pains for maven and using the old style way to develop apps on cocoon 2.2
Can any help? Thanks in advance Roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
