Hey, I think you should consider anyway using XSP. It isn't hard to learn/use (actually to get data from database and convert it to XML it is really simple !!) and the performance should be good (use caching if possible). We use XSP's for data extraction, which also consists of generating (large) XML files from database, and Cocoon/XSP has made this really simple. You can use some java code inside the XSP if you need some extra processing, so XSP isn't that limited...
Hope this helps ! Regards, Geert >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/23/04 12:28pm >>> 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
