Right. I agree. The thing that will really make or break Turbine (as
far as Cocoon, JSP, etc) is the ability to redir to a servlet. For
Cocoon it probably isn't that bad since we have an open interface to
bypass the servlet.

So I totally agree. It is a big hack. I have to get this done by
Friday. The problem is the code won't be that hot to integrate into
Turbine. It might work for my situation but would be very prone to
breaking. Very nasty.
If anyone has a better "official" solution I would be interested in
hearing it.
