Cocooners,
Working on some introductory documentation I ran into a slight
dilemma. I want to mention how Cocoon is able to access either the
model or a database in response to a request and produce a response
based on the result. Because of its simplicity, I will be
concentrating on JSFlow in this particular document. All my Actions
have been converted to flowscripts. I'm unsure of the communities
perspective. So, are Actions still recommended as a way to access and
process data?
No. The current use of actions as I see it is for small general-purpose
things, but not for application-level processing, which should be
orchestrated by the flow engine (be it flowscript of javaflow)
I'd like to add that flowscript/javaflow is not a golden hammer; there are
things which should be implemented as actions, and they are recommended for this
purpose.
For general application logic, though, actions are not recommended.
