Tom Ok; that is one viewpoint. But I think these quotes from the Wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/GettingStartedWithCocoonAndHibernate are also pertinent:
"Be aware that you will not be ready to write Hibernate-based applications in 5 minutes. You are about to venture into a complex topic. Sit back, get a cup of tea and prepare for some **days** of reading and learning. The following skills are mandatory: You need to be proficient in Java..." I did spend a fair chunk of last year downloading and days reading through the Hibernate documents - they do seem fairly comprehensive and well-written... but they are not simple or straightforward. And for someone like myself, with skills in XML, XSLT, Javascript, SQL... all of which have been more than sufficient to develop webapps with Cocoon over the past few - the add-in of high-level Java skills to the mix is a really "gotcha" that significantly raises the learning barrier here. So to rephrase my original point - is this the only way to develop interactive database webapps with Cocoon - or should PHP start looking like an attractive option once more?! >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005/06/14 10:16:41 AM >>> >From my personal experience I would not consider moving to Hibernate as very difficult. Following the wiki tutorial at http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/CocoonAndHibernateTutorial it took me a day to create a search form with result list... and the major part was convincing jboss to act properly :-).

But moving to Hibernate is a quite a major jump... a whole 'nother technology to digest. I assume that the "deprecation" status shows up in the code - it is not clearly indicated on the documentation website - see: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/actions/database-actions.html (last update March 2005) >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005/06/10 03:05:56 PM >>> Derek Hohls wrote: > It just seems strange that these both these technologies are developed > inside of Cocoon without any simple way to link them... or what did I > miss? stay away from modular db actions if you can. they are deprecated (which is why you won't find samples for it) and vastly inferior to ojb or hibernate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
