Another shot from the hip: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cocoon-2.1.3]$ find . -name \*.xsp | wc 103 103 5230 [EMAIL PROTECTED] cocoon-2.1.3]$ grep -l -r --include="*.xml" --include="*.jx" \ "http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0"; . | wc 31 31 1595 I offer this as a rigrous application of the scientific method that proves irrefutably that JXTemplate is used 30% less than XSP in the Cocoon 2.1.3 distribution. > >>> Beside handling form output, where else would I use JXTemplate > >>> in my sitemap? > > > >>You can use it everywhere where you need a template technique.

Pointers appreciated. By the way, this discussion has done much to improve my understanding of the problem JXTemplate and XSP address. Sometimes a template is a cleaner implementation than a transform. Cocoon needs to offer developers a way to inject variables into a document structure.
