Just a suggestion here on item 2 - take it for what it is worth.....
The recommended way to improve performance is with something like SQUID - a proxy cache. THat is the approahc I take, and by all accounts it works well. Unfortunately, "out of the box" Cocoon doesn't have that, so it appears to be really slow to some people, and therefore is viewed as not scaling well. Is there a pure Java solution, perhaps a servlet based proxy-cache, that could be distributed with Cocoon? Maybe a seperate WAR that includes that functionality configured by default? Not everyone who is serious with Cocoon will use it, but it might improve the "out of the box" performance perception. I kow - that is a lot of work to go to....but perception is reality...... > > Good article.
