Thanks to all who answered !! I will start reading about Flowscripts and Cforms and the Portal Block. Looks like life had become a lot easier on the past 2 years for a Web-Application developer with Cocoon!

The book describes Cocoon 2.0, and although everything you will find there is still available in the current version, a lot of new features have appeared in the area of web application development (compared to publication). Among all changes, the most noticeable ones that may heavily influence on application design: - flowscript, that makes it really easy to setup complect interactions (i.e. guiding the user through successive pages) - Cocoon Forms, a powerful form handling framework, that kicks ass when combined with flowscript - a complete rewrite of the portal framework Sylvain -- Sylvain Wallez Anyware Technologies http://apache.org/~sylvain http://anyware-tech.com Apache Software Foundation Member Research & Technology Director --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
