I slaved over a pretty big XUL application earlier this year using Mozilla as a run time environment.

Just want to point something out:

* XUL is just another XML format
* XUL is an interactive-client side technology, as opposed to mostly static Xhtml. Cocoon/COcoon Forms/Woody is an interactive server side technology. Getting the two to work together would be useful, but I am just not sure if there is anything Cocoon can contribute. There already are ways to invoke XML web services from JavaScript from within a XUL app.
* From Cocoon standpoint, nothing changes
* There are no good XUL books, the ones that exist don't go deep enough to be useful
* If Cocoon developers do find a need to add XUL support to Cocoon, I'd try and make it as Mozilla-independent as possible so that non-Mozilla XUL renderer plugins can be used. For example, going back to my XForms post earlier, XUL/JavaScript can be used to render XForms on the client side.


My personal opinion is that Cocoon does not need any special support for XUL, but that is because I cannot think of a scenario where Cocoon would be of help aside from providing backend XML web services and, possibly, rendering screens.

Hi:

I found this interesting article:

I am wondering if we can provide support for this in Cocoon. As always,
comments are very welcomed. :-)

Best Regards,
