Hi,

We are new to Cocoon here, and hope to use it in an application in which we
will make heavy use of ESQL with Oracle 8i.  I have two basic questions:

First, regarding documentation:  The ESQL examples, as well as the ESQL
schema and Taglib documentation page, all have been very useful to get us up
and running.  Before delving directly into the esql logicsheet next, can
anybody point me to any other existing docs -- formal, informal, whatever --
on the ESQL taglib itself that can supplement what is provided with official
C2 distribution?

Second, I am setting up a bare-bones test environment for executing ESQL
queries and sending the serialized XML to my browser without additional
transformations...   This was easy using the file generator, SQL
transformer, and xml serializer.  This allowed me to process any old XML
file with <execute-query> etc. elements using the namespace
xmlns:sql="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0";.  

But -- please bear with me here -- to use ESQL (updated schema and ESQL
logicsheet) I think I will need to use the "serverpages" generator (along
with compliant XSP pages) since this is an XSP logicsheet.  Since I would
still like to serialize result as plain XML and strip out extraneous tags, I
am applying a simple XSLT transformer and XML serializer.  This works fine
but is this the most "stripped down" way to use the ESQL taglib, or could I
utilize ESQL outside of XSP?

Thanks,

Bob Nugent
