This makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions, hooking together components into pipelines without requiring programming. </li> <li> <strong>Advanced Control Flow</strong>: continuation-based page flow hides the complexity of request/response processing and is cleanly separated from the view and data components. </li> <li> Cocoon is open source software (based on the <link href="license.html">Apache Software License</link>). </li> <li> Cocoon doesn't duplicate efforts but tightly integrates many technologies. </li> <li> Cocoon is in use at many live sites and on many company networks. </li> <li> Cocoon has a strong community, with many active developers and more than <link href="who.html">15 active committers</link>! </li> <li> here is free support on our <link href="mail-lists.html">mailing lists</link> and commercial support is available from various companies and consultants. </li> <li> There are many Cocoon sessions at different conferences: <ul> <li> <fork href="http://www.orixo.com/events/gt2003/";>Cocoon GetTogether</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="http://apachecon.com";>ApacheCon</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="http://cocoon.ifs.tuwien.ac.at";>Austrian Cocoon Day</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="http://www.wjax.de/";>WJAX</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="http://www.jax2003.de/";>JAX</fork> </li> </ul> </li> <li> To get started see the <link href="tracks/first-steps-track.html">"first steps" documentation track</link>. Basically you only need to <link href="http://cocoon.apache.org/mirror.cgi";>download</link> Cocoon, unpack it and follow the simple INSTALL.txt instructions. A minimal version of the Jetty servlet container is included with Cocoon. </li> </ul> </s1> <s1 title="Usage scenarios"> <p> As you would expect, all of these scenarios can be combined. </p> <ul> <li> Dynamic multi-channel web publishing (see below for the possible datasources and output formats) </li> <li> Create static content (automatically) by separating data from view - see Forrest </li> <li> Advanced web applications with J2EE integration (with separation of your data, the view and the <link href="userdocs/flow/index.html">flow logic</link> --> this really means you can change one of the parts without touching another) </li> <li> Develop your company portal using the Cocoon Portal framework </li> <li> Support multiple clients, layouts and languages (i18n) without code duplication </li> <li> Integrate Cocoon with your existing web applications or use it to put a better face on them (page scraping) </li> <li> Add full-text search to any datasource that can be converted to XML (see below) </li> <li> Use Cocoon as the base for Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) </li> <li> Use Cocoon as the base for your Content Management System (CMS) (see also Lenya for a Cocoon based CMS) </li> <li> Use Cocoon for producing mobile content (mobile phones, pdas) </li> <li> Datawarehouse reporting across multiple formats (see xReporter) </li> </ul> </s1> <s1 title="Connect your datasources"> <p> Out of the box, the following data can be converted to XML to be processed by Cocoon pipelines. </p> <ul> <li> XML Files </li> <li> XML based (Web) services </li> <li> RDBMS (via <fork href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/";>JDBC</fork>, including connection pooling) </li> <li> XML databases </li> <li> SAP (r) Systems by adding the SAP JavaConnector see <fork href="http://service.sap.com/connectors/";>http://service.sap.com/connectors/</fork> (accessible for all SAP (r) customers) </li> <li> <fork href="http://www.webdav.org";>WebDAV</fork> </li> <li> CVS (supported by the external project <fork href="http://cocoondev.org/projects/cvssource.html";>CVSSource</fork>) </li> <li> Text-based file formats, either using the integrated <fork href="http://chaperon.sourceforge.net/";>Chaperon </fork> parser for a yacc-like approach to parsing, or the "slop" component (Simple Line Oriented Parser). </li> <li> <fork href="http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/";>Velocity templates</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="userdocs/flow/jxtemplate.html">JXPath/Jexl templates</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="userdocs/xsp/index.html">eXtensible Server Pages (XSP)</fork> with wide range of logicsheets (database, mailing, ...) </li> <li> <fork href="http://www.jython.org/";>Python (Jython</fork>) and generic <fork href="http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/";>BSF support</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/";>JSP</fork> </li> <li> Filesystem (traversing directory hierarchies) </li> <li> Any information provided by environment (request, session) </li> <li> <fork href="http://www.macromedia.com/";>Flash</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="http://www.palserv.com/XMidi/";>XMidi</fork> </li> <li> <fork href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1777.txt?number=1777";>LDAP -
