My direct mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is where to send any files. Ill be interested to see what you have but I have to confess my frustration level is ratcheted up high and almost out of the reach of rationality. I'm generally not messing with web-client side much. I am paid professionally for my back end expertise and us usually leave the front end to some jockey with dreamweaver MX to tackle the jsps. I am primarily an enterprise programmer and work on the EJB back end. What I intend to do with this think is to create my EJBs. Write generators that contact the EJBs an get information and publish that information. Somewhere along the road I need to have forms that then call the EJBs and execute commands on them. Right now Id settle for getting stuff out.
Example? Here you go .. attached to this is a current example of one little command that gets the smileys for a forum application using a straight servlet to XML. This guy works by expecting the browser to do the XSLT transform for me. Its a hack. A demo just to test the full pipeline and proof of concept of using XML rather than JSP for the front end. Now I want to do THIS in cocoon. That is my ultimate goal for the evening. -- Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoff Howard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 5:01 AM Subject: RE: Cocoon is complex, HOLD ON, WHY IS THIS BOILING UP ? > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Robert Simmons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2003 10:19 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: Cocoon is complex, HOLD ON, WHY IS THIS BOILING UP ? > > > > > > The biggest concept that has me is.
