I'm not agree with it.
Cocoon 2 has a very good thing such as Actions. Instead of developing a
separate servlet for message receiving functionality you can just implement
a set of actions that will handle message requests. You can implement any
functionality that you need inside of your actions: sender validation, XML
format validation, database update and much more of this.
I'd advise you to look at the C2 samples, especially: new XML:DB support,
SOAP handling, Stream generator etc.
Btw, have you heard about the Jabber? It's an XML based messaging system.

Subject: Re: XML messages
Hi Federico,
I can't pretend to be a Cocoon expert, but IMHO the following operations are
not very specific to what the Cocoon framework offers:
-receive messages (HTTP POST probably?)
-validate the sender (against a database?)
-validate the format (a parser with a DTD or schema will do it)
-update the XML database
So I would tend to implement them separately in a servlet or web application
environment, trying to write reusable business logic for these functions
(straight java servlets, enhydra or EJB).
On the other hand, I would definitely use Cocoon for this:
> offer to other clients using browser an overview of the database with
> the current data formatted with XML/XSL technology
In summary I would consider the "receive messages" (=information production)
and "browse data" (=information publishing) functions as separate
subsystems,
and I don't think Cocoon would help you much for the first one.
