The problem I'm facing is that I don't want to put xml documents inside a database. This because the fact that there are a lot of documents in various formats. So we want to convert those documents to XML. And use cocoon to publish those documents. Plus those documents are written by people using their average wordprocessor or in the futere a wordprocessor which can do XML. We don't want them to feed a Database.That would be the past IMO. Apache HTTP and Cocon and similar are PITA.
... you can publish static text from Struts like this:
- Store XML content in a db field. (from user input or RSS feed).
- XSLT it and cache HTML cache in a db field.
Or many variations such as Styxx browser side.
You can now approve it, secure it, WIKI it, RSS feed it, count clicks, find matching advertisements to display, display it in a struts tile that users can move around like my.netscape.com.
I would say it is a good practice to use Struts with XML for delivery of static and dynamic content.
Cocoon is great if your input is already XML. Cocoon is a fully-XML framework. And its cache management can't be beat.
But another part of the website is an application which will be written with struts. Now I don't think it is a solution to XML the output from struts (I just understant the struts-tag libraries and the struts-layout library, I don't want to learn XSP/XForms etc yet) and render it with cocoon.
What is wrong with using struts and cocoon mixed together. For me it's just a few extra steps to forward an struts action to JSP page that produces XML output which will be forwarded to cocoon. Especially when it is an form where users have to provide input which needs to be processed by a struts action.
On the other side I think it's worthwile when a result of a struts action is a XML document, is to render that document with cocoon. So levering the power of both frameworks.
Question is if it is possible to render part's of a page with struts and another part with cocoon which are combined within a tiles-definition.
