Hello,

Perfectly right, I can add that if Cocoon seems by far the most advanced
(in terms of concept, of vision of the designers, and in terms of
development) other experiments are available.

- IBM has a XMLenabler servlet that is a striped down cocoon at alphaworks
- Oracle has also a servlet that does XSL processing from a
datasource-generated XML
- DB2XML connect a JDBC data source, convert the content to a XML file
(using a provided DTD or creating one from the data) and send it to a XSL
parser.

The week point (IMHO) is the XML editing side. There is no real usable
solution for "normal" enterprise users (I mean no technical, no
scientists.. only people using word processor files)
