Hi,
I also ask me such a question when I start with Cocoon.
For me, I think that :
1) You have to use as much as possible the existing generator ans simply pass them parameters.
2) If you have database, you can greatly reduce development time by using XSP and ESQL
3) When there are really specific treatment or when you want to centralize the XML generation,... you can use generator.
by example : I use it to generate information coming from Lotus Notes database because there are no ODBC link or not performant to Lotus.
Hope it can help

Hi,
I am fairly new to cocoon and I am planning to use it for a quite big
website. I keep thinking what the best way is to genrate XML from a
database.
- XSP seems too complicated and limited and there is no knowledge in the
developer-team available
- JSP seems okay, many developers are familiar with it, but are there any
drawbacks regarding performance (I think JSP-Generator is not cachable, is
it?) or other things?
- Writing a new Generator seems to be a too much, and not very practical in
development since you have to recompile it all the time and cannot make
changes at runtime
- Doing it with SQL- and XSLT-Transformers? Not so nice, since IMO the code
for implementing the logic is spread over too many files (Correct me if i am
wrong)
It would be really helpful if someone had a pice of advise or any experience
what approach pays off best
Regards
Ole
