This is lifted right from the Cocoon FAQ and I think
it might be a consideration for those who rely heavily
on chaining in any servlet-based system:
"The Servlet API was not designed with servlet
chaining capabilities in mind. Servlet chaining was a
night hack of the original Java web server authors
that allowed to pipe one servlet output into the
request of another. Currently (version 2.2) the
Servlet API spec doesn't allow a servlet to
post-process the output of another servlet, so, since
Cocoon is a servlet, there is no portable way for it
to call your servlet and to process its output."
Not my words, but worth mentioning.
