I didn't mean to offend anyone. I have answered a number of questions, and me and my company have given a few things to both cocoon and xreporter. I realize you weren't accusing me, but wanted to point that out. I certainly am not looking for any free hand outs. Cocoon is a very busy list, and trying to monitor both the users and dev list is very difficult. I did for a long time and couldn't do both. As having used cocoon for quite awhile, I really do want to help, but I felt I had to pick between helping users or helping dev.
Your point is well taken and I will join the dev list so I don't have to post in that way again. On the other hand, the users list has become so busy that more "dev" questions like mine go unanswered. (Which is where I started and received no help, forcing me to begrudingly ask for the dev help)
Excelent that you contribute to the user list, I didn't know as you didn't tell that you allready had tried in there. Anyway don't worry, except for me, people are nice and friendly around here ;) Furthermore as tech junkies we mainly care about if the questions are interesting, and your was.
It seem to me that you good answers later in the thread, so I don't think I have anything to add to that.

I did get great answers. One of the "hot" things a lot of our customers are looking at now is orchestrating web services together. Separating major pieces of the app behind REST style web services and then tying that together with things like BPEL. That is really where my question was driven at. I guess it would be interesting to see if there was any thought about integrating BPEL into cocoon. Kind of like a "flowscript" but in XML, but that could call cocoon pipelines, massage their content and string together reusable smaller pipelines. That was where my difficulty lies. I have a series of small, reusable pipelines, but that take XML in and return XML. So, I need to "orchestrate that". A key piece to this would be an architecture that let XML come into each internal cocoon call.
Anyway, thanks to all!
