Hi:
I want to try some of the new spectacular technologies sported in Cocoon :)
I also will play with persistent data. The idea is to create a simple
database application using postgres as storage of persistent data.
After checking all the docs. For forms: I cannot decide between JXForms and Woody? Please I need an advise from the gurus in forms.
I have not tried Woody (Sorry Bruno).
I did however decide quite early on to use JXTemplate rather than JXForm as I found I was constantly having to work around stuff in JXForm that did not suit my approach.
JXForm is particularly good at the multi-page wizard-type scenario, if your needs are different, you may find it too restrictive. This is not a criticism though!!!
For the object-database mapping is suggested Hibernate.
I am still trying to find other ways similars to Hibernate since it looks
like Hibernate is not a favorite player because of his LGPL license. :(
Yea, I know, it is a shame, but we do have a workaround now, in terms of the independant project repository at cocoondev.org, which could legitimately be used for blocks that contain LGPL code.
I know there is a jakarta project related to database stuff. DBCP is just
a Database connection pool. but,
I went straight for Hibernate and did not even investigate the Apache stuff I am afraid. I just took the word of some peers who said, Hibernate is cool and easy.
