yes sure, this is for sure a workaround. Bu my doubts are more about the architecture of cocoon. For example how to implement a service that take an xml from a source and write it on dB without sending the request by an HTTP Connection? Is it possible to make an XML persistence (like a serializer could be) to a relational DB?
Cocoon could have all the methods to do it, through a configurable pipeline for example, I was wondering if it could be possible to do it by an API outside the webapp framework?

Hi Luca,
I'm writing a web-application (servlets + POJO) that use Cocoon for presentation, so my application is Controller+Model, and Cocoon is View (plus Controller if I need), MVC model speaking.
My application generate data (response) in XML, and then I forward
the original request using "/view" alias, pointing to the main Cocoon servlet. AFAK, i's a servlet, so you can call it like another
one ...

Hi,
I was thinking about a data mapper framework, a framework which can take data from a source and write to another destination. An application scenario could be taking an xml somewhere (XML DB, HTML forms) and then writing it to a traget XML or even Relational DB.
Then I was thinking why not to use cocoon to do it.
I had some doubts, the nice thing could be that I write mainly the xml files for transformation and the pipelines, and then the framework works for me, my doubts are that coccon is too 'content delivery oriented' to apply such features. is cocoon in your opinion enough flexible to use it in such a scenario with not a great load of coding?
Has somebody experienced such an application scenario for coccoon?
One limitation immediately came to my mind is that cocoon works with a request from client, is it possible to call a pipeline programmatically?
Thank you very much n advance for suggestions and opinions.
Luca
