You don't have to make another http connection to an external cocoon
app from your application. Simply include cocoon in your base
application and define a mapping for the cocoon servlet.
1) gather all required jar files from your cocoon build and copy them
intro your WEB-INF/lib directory
2) include the cocoon servlet in your web.xml settings (also see
cocoon build dir)
3) copy necessary *.xconf files to WEB-INF
After you're successfully configured cocoon to run as part of your
application, you should be able to simply pass the request on to the
cocoon servlet, which will share all request and session attributes:
ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher("/cocoon/tabreport").forward(request,
response)
If you have a Struts based application also concider the struts cocoon plugin:
http://struts.sourceforge.net/struts-cocoon/
