> What version of Tomcat is recommended with the latest Cocoon?

JDK1.3.1 + Tomcat 4.0.4 + Cocoon 2.0.2


Or:

JDK1.3.1 + Tomcat 4.0.4 + Cocoon 2.0.3-jvm13 release
JDK1.4 + Tomcat 4.0.4LE + Cocoon 2.0.3-jvm14 release

Cocoon 2.0.3 releases are due in several days from now.

Cocoon ships with own parser in WEB-INF/lib which you can replace.

C++ version of SAX parser used with Cocoon will be slower then Java
version because of multitude of SAX calls which has to be routed through
JNI.

Yes.
