that's exactly the nerves I wanted to touch :-)

this is kind of blunt, but when reading up on Struts or WebWork, I immediately
understand where they are aiming at

in the Cocoon dist as-is, there's samples of actions, of xsp, and other webapp
'efforts', but none of them *documented* as being architected equivalent to Struts &
WebWork-like frameworks

I know I'm touching touchy-feely grounds here but in my personal view I would not
recommend Cocoon2 without serious work on flowmaps & XForms & a replacement for the
logicsheets for true state-heavy interactive transaction-oriented web applications
(wow, that's a lot of buzzwords) (although I recommended to use Cocoon2 for
http://www.scoot.be/, which I still regard as being content-centric because it is
consultation-only)

anyhow

we'll get there... and the road towards cocoon-nirvana is fun anyway
