We'd like to built an application that uses data from a database to create XML, which can be transformed to various forms. A significant amount of coding will be required to create the XML (otherwise I'd just place SQL in an xsp), so I think a separate servlet will make more sense. My thought is to create a servlet that outputs type text/xml, call the servlet from a sitemap, transform and serialize as needed.
This leads to some specific design questions... 1) Best why to build an XML document in the servlet? JDOM? 2) Is there a better way to tie together the cocoon pipeline with the data source than having a URL called in the sitemap? Afterall it will all be running under the same Tomcat... We're very happy with the way Cocoon has worked for other, simpler applications. But for this one we perhaps should look at more advanced features. And we have not done any significant amout of XML generation from java, so I'd like to hear some about how others are doing this.
