Hi All,

I'm a new-comer to Cocoon and would like to find out if it is possible to use its 
services from within an existing tomcat webapp, rather than deploying the cocoon 
servlet in its own webapp.

My own webapp has some servlets and java beans that are hooked up to a database.  

I would like to define a Cocoon pipeline that uses an XSP to access data stored in the 
ApplicationContext and SessionContext of my own tomcat webapp.

>From this I'd like the pipeline to transform the data from the XSP into an

I would then like to call these pipelines from within my own servlets and re-direct 
the output to a printer rather than back to the browser.

Is this possible?

Any information gratefully received.

Thanks

Paul
