Murray,

Thanks for you interest. I recently setup jaba at sourceforge to demostrate
the capabilities of Tomcat/jBoss and Cocoon. However right now there are
only two of us working on it :(. Currently I have a demostration that works
with jBoss 2.0 embedded with Tomcat 3.2 and Cocoon 1.7.4. 

This demonstration is basically a Car Rental example that has no HTML
presentation layer but instead uses controller JSP pages to foward the
output of a toXML():String function from a java bean and post processes it
with the Cocoon engine. This is based on the CocoonFromServlet example
bundled with the Cocoon package. It effectly provides a device independent
way of presenting information with a seperate XSLT stylesheet for each
device.  

The code currently in the repository at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaba/ is a demonstation of this
architecture. It implements a use case of RESERVE CAR, however I hope to add
another use case of RENT CAR in a couple of weeks time. The JAR file for
jboss (containing one session bean and two entity beans) and the WAR file
for Tomcat can be build with an ANT script and we are working on upgrading
this script to produce an EAR file for easy deployment. There is also a ZIP
file there containing all the files which can be downloaded from
ftp://jaba.sourceforge.net/pub/jaba/jaba.zip

Over the next couple of days I hope to put up a more detailed description of
the architecture and would welcome any comments or reviews. I will also
provide a quick HOWTO to show how jBoss with embedded Tomcat can be setup
with Cocoon.

However having read you mail maybe we could find a more painless way of
doing it and especially with Cocoon 2 around the corner. I definely want
this site to the focus on J2EE and XML intergration technogoies and would
definely appricate any help.

Let me know.

Eoin

I got the same problem trying to visit your suggested
http://jaba.sourceforge.net. I *do* however seem to have some luck with
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaba/ instead, although the space
doesn't seem
fully configured.

ie.

   This project has not yet submitted a description.

   This project has not yet categorized itself in the Trove Software
Map.

   Registered: November 10, 2000

But I'm not complaining. I want to help. I've actually been the
volunteer who
developed the Apache JServ  + Cocoon RPM (Linux) packages for Cocoon.
(And yes,
I need to get the more updated 1.8 RPMs done and out there.) I'm
actually
wanting to write RPM packages to install Cocoon, Tomcat and JBoss nicely
together.  I would also like to get all three working under the Apache
web
server using the more advanced mod_jk with the newer Ajp13 protocol.

Currently, this seems problematic. I can't do this one alone, but I'm
willing
to put in a lot of work to get it going. I'm also not married to just
doing RPM
package management (can help to create Debian, Windows, or anything
else) but
RPM is the only thing I know right now.

So is this (Jaba at Sourceforge) the right place to get this stuff
going? I
really want to bring J2EE+XML to the OpenSource community in an easy and
painless way so people can start getting involved in the technologies
quickly
and simply.

Cheers,

Murray Todd Williams
