No, this isn't a spam email. I just digested (er, read) Bruce Tate's brilliant article on "Don't make me eat the elephant again" where he looks at his past, current (and future?) love-hate relationship with the various EJB versions.
Read it at: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2004/06/15/ejb3.html and draw your own conclusions (and comparisons) with developments in Cocoon - for exampe, here's one quote: "But while I was slogging through six files to do simple persistence, my friends were laughing and dancing around their POJO applications with ordinary JDBC. And they were doing much more, with much less. " I haven't had to tackle even a fraction of the technology that Bruce has had to deal with, but he sums up much of what I have been feeling in recent times about Cocoon; especially the whole issue about integrating persistence frameworks for database access, and all the layers that are now required - from forms to hibernate config files and more (if you toss in Spring as well). Expand capabilities? Yes. Add power features? Sure. But lets keep it simple and usable!!
