"Solving your web needs with Apache Cocoon"
10-11
Introducing Apache Cocoon
In this first part, we'll introduce the Apache Cocoon web framework,
a modular and extensible solution for builing and deploying a wide range
of web publishing and web application needs. We'll outline the philosophical
ideas behind the framework architecture, its historical evolution that yield
the currently recognized best practices.
11-12
Under the hood of a Cocoon application
In this second, more advanced, part, we'll take an existing cocoon
application
(the author's blog) and look 'under the hood' to see how it works and what
strategies and tecniques were used to make it possible.
We'll show how thin layers of cocoon 'glue' can have the speed and
flexibility
of scripting and rapid prototyping with the solidity of strongly typed and
modular component oriented systems.
Speaker Stefano Mazzocchi - Digital Library Research Group at MIT
Stefano Mazzocchi has been involved in various open source projects since
1997
and his email address can be found in so much source code in various
projects
and address books that worms and spammers love him very very much (but as
much
as he loves his spam filters!). He is mostly recognized as the original
author
of the Apache Cocoon web framework, but he contributed to many of the
java/XML
projects of the Apache Software foundation. Italian of origin, Stefano now
lives
in Cambridge, MA, USA and is part of the Digital Library Research Group at
MIT
where he tries to help the semantic web fullfill its promise.

-PowerXml a tool alternative to PowerPoint
To build a presentation is equivalent to organize our thoughts into linear
narrative in order to present it in an easy understandable way.
PowerXML is a web slidemaker fully based on XML technologies.
It generates the slides through the Cocoon pipelines of XSLT
transformations,
serializing as SVG, PDF, XSL-FO, or XHTML page, according to the browser's
capabilities.
SVG is the main output format; PDF is mainly used for printing
while XHTML is generated to the browsers without SVG plug-in.

-XFlow a document workflow engine
Framework to manage document flows for collaborative authoring.
It is based on a complete independence between workflow definition and
engine.
XML is a suitable technology for representing not only data/documents but
also
to describe the document workflow logic.
XDWL is the XML application defined to describe a document workflow.
We implemented a DW engine interpreting XDWL documents, by Cocoon.
This solution is heavily based on XML technologies (XSLT, XPath, XForms,
SVG)
and open-source tools (Cocoon, Tomcat, mySQL). It is a web-based application
where
human agents interact with the system through an XForms browser.
