I've always thought that a Chess Webbapp would demonstrate Cocoon power : -It has complexe application logic (you can check the validity of a move, you can get the whole state of the board from an XML db on only get 1 move and calculate the new board. I think that a standard XML allready exists for this) -SVG will display the board -Abstraction layer would allow to use differents rules (I like Go more than Chess :) -We can make PDF report of the game with all moves in text format + pictures of the board after strategic moves. -We can use the same presentation component with a game database or with an an inline multiplayer Chess client. -It's more fun than a screw-shop sample. fabien. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
