I am using cocoon with maven and jetty in my development environment.
I develop and test individual blocks. Then I build my block jar files
and my cocoon application. Once everything works in maven/jetty
development environment I build application war file and put it in my
test environment which runs with tomcat. Test/production environment
does not need maven or jetty.
I don't know if you can have non-jar blocks. One of my blocks does
not contain any java code - just pure html, but still it's a jar file
inside my cocoon application.

Hi,cocooners
I have been using cocoon 2.1 for 4 years.Recent weeks I begin
thinking about
migration to cocoon 2.2.After some research and reading the post
mail list
like:
http://marc.info/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=121215707010191&w=2
I still have some questions about migration.
My apps base on cocoon 2.1.x ,using forms/portal/flowscript/
jxtemplate a
lot,and combine hibernate and spring.My apps run on tomcat or other
web
container,in most schemes,we just update some flowscript,form
define xml or
other jxtemplate xml file and don't need to restart the server(It's
important for running system).After I did some research on cocoon
2.2,I got
theses question:
1.Does my custom app in cocoon 2.2 must be a block?Can I just using
the core
block and place files(like sitemap/resource files) just like cocoon
2.1?
The answer decide if I can migrade from 2.1 to 2.2 without much work
2.If ONLY block can exist in cocoon 2.2 ,can block exist in a file
system
style and not in a jar style under a production environment?
I pack a cocoon 2.2 war form trunk and run it on tomcat,I found the
block
file will be exact to tomcat work directory,So cocoon 2.2 MUST run
like 2.1
when pipeline needs,I'm just want to know if I can do it not by
block jar
but block directory and the change in the directory will automatic
publish
to tomcat work directory.The answer decide if I can just update
resource
files and not update jar file,in most cases this means no reload
required.
3.If block jar style is required,can the Cocoon Block preparation
work under
production environment?
In my experiences only spring osgi or similar provide jar hot
replace ,can
Cocoon Block preparation provide this?
4.How does Cocoon Block preparation provide RAD with other web
container not
control by maven?Or how to confige maven to use other web container
like
tomcat?
My team never use maven and all using Eclipse base IDE and run apps in
IDE(tomcat mostly),I just want to know if I can just cut the
leaning pains
for maven and using the old style way to develop apps on cocoon 2.2
Can any help?
Thanks in advance
