I've been using Cocoon 1 and 2 with EJBs for last 2.5 year for enterprise size application. One advantage I had was that I decided to use cocoon from the beginning. so my EJBs can present themselves as XML which makes for easy insertion into the XML stream. The biggest problem I had was handling of errors that EJB methods can throw and are handeled by redirecting to another page. The way I handle this is that I have an action that processes the XSP and store it in a request attribute. The XSP contains tags that access my EJBs and define error handlers. Once XSP is processed without errors I call a simple generator that reads the resulting XML from the attribute. I only use transormes for xincludes, i18n, and changing data centric XML representation to GUI centric representation for complex data models.
This might not be the best way of doing things but it works for me.
