Thanks, although now I'm a bit confused. I think you are assuming background information that most of us don't have. 1) What is the "modular" package?

I was refering to org.apache.cocoon.acting.modular

What CVS branch are you using? I've just pulled the latest from HEAD and the modular directory is empty. (I missed it the first time because I was using "cvs -z3 update -d -P" which prunes empty directories.)

3) Do those database actions really simplify things? I didn't think my codebase was all that complex to begin with. (Hard for me to tell because I don't know which actions you are specifically talking about.)

Depends -- you don't have to deal with the database connection and SQL.
And you can call them from flow.

Funny...in all the APIs in Java, I always considered JDBC to be the simplest and easiest to use. Maybe I've just been using SQL for too long...

Has anyone looked up how to implement caching in an XSP file lately -- or anywhere else for that matter? The

No idea. But I doubt it.

Just saw a bugzilla message flash by the other day that dealt with this issue. I made a Wiki page for it (http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=XSPCachingWithCocoonHEAD). It also answered my questions about how general caching works for components in 2.1. Thank you Joerg.

IMHO anything that does more than decide which is the next page to
display. Calling higher level JAVA methods on the transitions of course.

persistence mechanism -- even if that mechanism is only about 100-150 lines long? What exactly is it about JavaScript that is so horrible that people believe that everything more than if-statements and for-loops must be written in Java?

Maintenance and reuse mostly.

But isn't that what I'm doing when I call JDBC methods: calling higher-level Java methods? If this script is an example of a specific document schema persisting to a specific database schema, I'm at a loss to see how much code I would be reusing. It would really be a case of porting the code basically line-for-line to Java (and adding the compilation step).
