RE: Database connectivity
Hi Andreas, Without database back-ends how can I store bunch of content(docs,images like that) ? is it stores content in the format of flat files only ? if lenya stores content in the format of flat files means it reqires more space on server.It impacts on server performance. I tried to connect cocoon with oracle,cocoon supports database backends. but lenya using cocoon internally to store the data.

Spring bean for action src
Hello, We are trying to develop a Cocoon 2.2 application. We have developed a few 2.1 apps already. We are struggling with using a spring bean for an action. We'd like to do something like: (in sitemap.xmap) 2 We define the bean in applicationContext.xml: However the name LinkForm is never properly resolved. Is there a way to use specify a Spring bean as an action source? Thanks paul

Is Cocoon the right tool?
Hi, First of all, I'm a newbie, so please bear with me in case any question is unacceptably idiotic. O:-) I'm considering Cocoon for a new project, but being completely new to this area I'm not 100% sure if it's the right tool for the job. I need to generate complex documents from an xml file. There are 2 steps in the doc generation: (a) Step 1: No formatting is applied, only the content and structure of the original xml doc is transformed by a series of hairy rules. I was planning to use Jess (www.jessrules.com) for this first part and generate a final xml doc, ready for step 2. (b) Step 2: The document created by step 1 should be rendered into a gazillion different formats (different layout, fonts, styles, etc...). The output should be: RTF, PDF and HTML. MS Word .DOC would be a plus, but not necessary. Can Cocoon help with Step 2 without requiring significant programming on my side? Where can I find examples of layout and format definitions for Cocoon? Thanks in advance, Fernando

Re: Is Cocoon the right tool?
Hi Fernando,
I guess you would have to produce your PDF (PS) through Apache FOP.
According to my experience, you can easily end up into big troubles with
it, because
a) you have to design your templates by coding and if there is a
graphical editor available for XSL-FO (don't know), you still end up
into troubles,
b) because FOP is still quite far from the standard (see:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html), especially 0.20.5.
On the other hand, after you have created templates, it does work well.
But as said, if your needs are demanding, it can happen so that FOP
isn't yet ready enough. Also the whole XSL-FO is a little "stiff". And
this would only cover one or two formats.. You still need to create
stylesheets ("templates") to other formats as well.

Re: Is Cocoon the right tool?
Indeed it's an *interesting* assignment. Two things popped up in my mind: 1) Using Cocoon's sitemap and its components can be very enlightening experience. They really do are powerfull. 2) While looking your examples, I can't help myself thinking what you really are expecting Cocoon to be. Usually creating fancy layouts with numerous graphics and effects are connected in our minds to software with a powerful graphical user interface. What can you do graphically in Cocoon. Nothing, because it's a web development framework not a desktop design software. So you have to be prepared in coding, although you can do a lot in Cocoon without using any particular programming language. But still you have to learn also "Cocoon language" + for example XSL-FO etc.. - mika - Luca Morandini kirjoitti: Fernando wrote: Just to make sure, are layouts like these possible? http://jobmob.co.il/blog/more-beautiful-resume-ideas-that-work/ Many, if not all, of these layouts can be created with CSS.

Luca, first of all, you're right about the thing that we do know almost nothing about the overall architecture. I seem to have a sort of a bias nowadays. Forgive me that. It just when I was looking http://jobmob.co.il/blog/more-beautiful-resume-ideas-that-work/ examples and wondering if those are possible with Cocoon, the whole question interpret in my brains into something else. Secondly, I used that plus sign as an AND operator in order the reader to differ these two concepts which in principal aren't even parallel and are two individual concepts. I can see I failed in that.
