Your solution definitely looks nicer than mine!
-- and a somewhat other and larger project ;-)

Have you made a Cocoon hook for this? or should I try to give it a go?

I too find the pizza compiler somewhat strange - been looking around for 
other compilers, but an awfull lot of the are inheretedly based on 
classpaths instead of ClassLoaders - can't wait to see the JDT compiler 
make star imports in my xsp pages!

I've also had to try to solve the embedded compiling problem (for other 
reasons) and I've also tried to use Pizza. Unfortunately, Pizza is very 
poor quality code and has severe limitations that made it unusable for 
me. Instead I've used the eclipse.org Java Development Tools compiler 
(which is excellent) to implement a simple embeddable compiler API. I've 
placed a copy of the source code on my ftp server if anyone is 
interested in using it (ftp://ftp.primaryinterface.com/pub/javacAPI). 
There is no license for the code I've written. The API itself has no 
dependencies on other software. And the provided implementation has no 
dependencies other than on eclipse (don't know if that is a problem for 
Apache projects...).

The provided zip file contains source, compiled code, javadocs, and  a 
couple of example programs: one that simulates the javac command line 
compiler, and another that demonstrates compiling source code in memory 
and dynamically loading the resulting classes.

Regards,

Chris
