Dear Fellow Cocoon Users:

I just read the forwarded message on xml-dev mailing list and realized that Groovy makes a perfect language for business logic intermixed with XML, such as XSP pages.

This may also be a simpler approach to FlowScript.

Groovy looks very interesting indeed. What it currently lacks WRT Rhino-based Javascript is continuations. The really important part of Cocoon's Flowscript is continuations, not the Javascript syntax. If it had continuations I might consider switching from JS to Groovy very seriously.


I see there has been some discussion about continuations on their ML:

but it doesn't seem very probable that Groovy will support continuations any time soon, which is a pity.
