errr.... is it just me or is this completly and utterly wrong. BOX completely punts on database neutrality and just prays that the SQL between databases is identical. And of course everyone who has worked with SQL knows that this is far from being true. How do you handle different quoting requirements for different databases? How do you handle different databases id generators? How do you handle difference X ? Turbine or more specifically Torque addresses many of these issues, not all of them but a lot of them. It is faaaaaaaaaaaaaar more db netral than BOX is from your description. About the only painful thing was that it was a bit harder to configure but IIRC they were fixing this a few weeks ago. > More platform neutral? > Probably: it doesn't require Apache, Tomcat, Java, Xalan, or Xerces. As far as I can tell this is not too different from Cocoon. You could easily reimplement most of it in C, C++ or probably even perl. About the only thing not available would be java XSP pages, but as XSP is language independent you could easily use javascript, perl, python or virtually any other language in there. I still see your project as basically a Generator for cocoon + cut down processing engine. I would be surprised if you could reach the performance level of the Cocoon2 pipeline just because they have had a lot of people workin on it. -- Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* PROGRAM: n. a magic spell cast over a computer allowing it to turn one's input into error messages. v.t. to engage in a pastime similar to banging one's head against a wall, but with fewer opportunities for reward. *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
