| This sounds great but where do you put the business logic? | I need to develop an application not just a website.
The XSQL Servlet is user-extensible so you can build actions in Java that engage your business components. Cocoon has a similar extensibility mechanism, but I forget the name. They were called "generators" in Cocoon 1 but Cocoon 2 renamed some things as they redid their architecture. Both are conceptually like engaging user-written beans from a JSP page, but using a more XML-centric processing model instead of a stream-based model as the JSP analog would. Since I work on both our XSQL XML Publishing framework and our J2EE business logic framework (BC4J) I'm more familiar with what this combination offers than what's available with Cocoon or other tools (although I'm sure there is a way). The BC4J framework ships with some generic XSQL action handlers to make bidirectional XML integration with business components a declarative task. You just provide the XSLT stylesheets. _____________________________________________________________________ Steve Muench - Developer, Product Manager, XML Evangelist, Author "Building Oracle XML Applications" - www.oreilly.com/catalog/orxmlapp =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
