May be I can help about Cocoon. I use it A LOT. And am only newbie with Struts. What I LOVE with Struts is the lego concept of the actions. It is so easy, so intuitive and powerful to manage internal logic. In Cocoon, the same internal logic requires a lot of Java programming, and maximum reusability is hard to achieve. Cocoon is more oriented as a component provider and assembler to create a custom XML pipeline from data source to output. The great power of Cocoon is its impressive list of generators (you plug them on your datasource(s) and it provides XML to the pipeline) transformers (XSL, XInclude, ...) and serializers (for output management: PDF, RTF, CSV, XML, HTML...). The other very nice things with Cocoon are its cache management, its "source" concept (everything is seen inside Cocoon as a XML source, either RO or RW. For example the CVS source is RW) and its URL handling (each URL requested is translated into a pipeline). The performances are really good (once you know how to cache things, which is not very well documented). I wonder if some people have already used both Struts and Cocoon in the same project. As far as I know, you can do that. -----Message d'origine----- De: Hookom, Jacob John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Date: jeudi 19 d�cembre 2002 17:24 �: Struts Users Mailing List Objet: RE: Compliment Frameworks
OJB gets my vote too, it wouldn't be that hard to write/use a bean serializer like Betwixt to turn your beans or your application/session/request scope variables to xml for XSLT transformation. Stay clear of cocoon for now, I guess they are working on revamping the thing from near scratch (or so I read in an article a few months back). -jacob -----Original Message----- From: James Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thu 12/19/2002 10:14 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Cc: Subject: RE: Compliment Frameworks > After speaking about frameworks (where only Expresso Strutsxx and > Struts+Cocoon seem to exist), let's talk about O/R mapping. > Which one is the easiest/more mature/more functional/best > documented/most integrable with Struts?
