Hi Don, A quick google indicated that you're the man, when it comes to struts-flow. Thanks for the effort. No dis intended if I said anything annoying. As for the documentation, the cocoon site had plenty of it.
I mainly asked because: 1) there seem to be two projects which perform similar functionality. 2) If my project had to pick one, I'd rather pick the "right one". 3) It's not that easy to compare by reading the docs. As far as the server side javascript goes, it's not complex: all our developers know javascript for browser-stuff. It's just a new use for an old tool.

I've used it for several applications for almost a year now and am quite happy. The documentation, of course, needs work, but I'm hoping to address that with the next release which adds all sorts of things. That said, if your developers don't know Javascript and you don't need the expressiveness of a full-blown programming language, it might not be your first choice.
