Thanks Todd! My initial goal is getting a simple repository for XML documents running out of the database. The documents should be locatable in the database by URI, the transform selected through fields in the record for the document. I may be architecting this poorly, but it's what seems to make sense so far.
In the end, I'd like to wrap it with a CMS, so it should be easy for an author to add content, a producer to give it style (i.e. write the XSLTs), and an editor to approve the whole thing and release it. If it all goes as planned, it would be something similar to ArsDigita's offering, but using Cocoon and more recent technology to drastically simplify implementation. I also have a dream of making XML Spy the operator console, but that's a way down the road. One of the things that I have pondered is whether there would be a good way to use Schemas stored in blobs as the root of the CMS functionality. The workflow of new content types would be to create a XML Schema for the data of a section and add that to a generalized schema table, generating the RDBMS tables and input forms automatically from the schema. The schema would also be used for data validation on the input form data when data is being entered. Since the HTML output transform would be custom according to the graphical requirements of the site, that would be left as an exercise for the section creator. Whew! Head back out of the clouds! :) So I am curious how Castor is making a difference for you. Are you using the marshalling/unmarshalling in Castor XML as a source for the output of (what I am assuming is) a custom built DBProvider?
