Yes. > My feeling is also that batch publishing through Cocoon now is probably > inefficient. You can do batch publishing using Cocoon's command line interface (see run.[sh|bat]). > What do you think (how wrong am I) ? > Is there interest to better support batch publishing with Cocoon ? Cocoon right now is not very efficient when your requirement is on response to HTTP user request do some processing, and write result of processing into files, XML:DB, or SQL, or send mail, and finally, return HTTP response to the client. This is going to change with 2.1. > How about things like regenerating (ex: bacground) 5 compound documents of > about 1000 pages each to pdf and html, for example, or generating 50000 pdf > and html paychecks or invoices, each with a (pdf) labeled envelop ? If you don't mind cron, Cocoon can easily handle this via its command line. In fact, that's how xml.apache.org/cocoon and some other sites are done (see logo "Built with Cocoon") PS See comment below on your example.
