This is nice summary for new users like myself. Thanks. Should the generator be custom coded or are there any cocoon pre-built generators which would create XML from request attributes & transport objects?
I'm thinking of the case where transport object is an object representation of a hierchical database data. Are there any open source products which can be used here to do the transformation from object/relational to XML?
