We held this discussion some time ago. Due to XMLForm and the flowmap, we could say there has been progress in that direction since then, but still, I don't feel Cocoon should position itself as a webapp framework as long as XMLForm and flowmap have been integrated, and thoroughly documented (or replaced by another solution). When you approach webapp development using Struts, it is clear how to handle it - using Cocoon however, there exist a myriad of unfinished possibilities, with no clear position on when you should use what, nor the documentation to support it. Let's not jump onto the webapp bandwagon too soon and too eager. > Since the question was "we need a detailed comparison with Struts", I think > it's imporant in this comparison to make it clear that Cocoon is not "just" > a publishing framework.

I can only hope such architectural decisions are not solely made based on documentation or 'white papers', but also on evaluating design and codebase. Adding to the comparison discussion, please have a look at http://barracuda.enhydra.org/cvs_source/Barracuda/docs/landscape.html in that respective. </Steven> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
