Hi Christian, I was actually thinking that we could provide a new build target that would build a hello-world.war and would contain only one or two simple samples.Good idea Michael,
The object of this hello-world.war would be demonstrate the basic
features/ideas behind Cocoon without getting bogged down on details. Just something simple with extra documentation so that newbies can get ther handes dirty real quick.
So instead of having X number of generators|transformers|serializers
being declared in the components section, we would have one or two
of each which would make things much easier to follow. We would also
have only one or two pipelines using say a basic file generator
to transform an xml file to HTML etc. I think at a minimum the webapp
would aslo need to show basic use of actions views..
With the current complexity of the webapp Im afraid that perhaps a lot of new users might not be able to see the "forrest for the trees".
Does anyone else see value in this?
I have been trying to get my head around Cocoon for a couple months now, without biting the bullet and devoting a solid week to it.
This approach hasn't been successful yet. I think your idea may help a lot.
I would like to put in a request that you include a simple example using a custom generator instead of a flat XML file. The reason is that I am coming from a servlet / JSP / struts background instead of a HTML / PHP / whatever background. I want to use Cocoon as a platform for web applications more than multi-platform publishing.
Thanks,
