<p>Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of <strong>component
pipelines</strong>, each component on the pipeline specializing on a
particular
--- operation. This makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in
building
--- web solutions, hooking together components into pipelines, often without any
--- required programming.</p>
+++ operation. <a href="daisy:1363">[more]</a></p>
--- <p>Cocoon used as web framework is "web glue for your web application
--- development needs". It is a glue that keeps concerns separate and allows
--- parallel evolution of all aspects of a web application, improving
development
--- pace and reducing the chance of conflicts. In particular it makes it easy to
--- support multiple output formats, offers continuation based web controller
--- implementations and comes with a JSR-168 compatible Portal
implementation.</p>

<h2>What are Cocoon blocks?</h2>
<p>A block is the unit of modularization (Eclipse uses the term plugins,
OSGi
--- bundles) in Cocoon. Everything that goes beyond that what Cocoon provides
in its
--- core modules (Spring integration, sitemap and pipeline implementation) is
--- provided as block. Every custom Cocoon application is developed as block. A
--- block <em>can</em> provide following features:</p>

--- <li>sitemap services by provide pipelines that can be called by a special
--- purpose protocol (<tt>block:</tt>) as a special servlet service</li>
--- <li>general servlet services (<em>any</em> servlet can be managed by the
Cocoon
--- blocks framework)</li>
--- <li>component services (Spring beans, Avalon services/components)</li>
--- <li>a container for classes and resources</li>
