I'm looking into the Cocoon Forms 1.0 block (with Cocoon 2.2) and it seems very nice. But I see that the Java API example at http://cocoon.apache.org/2.2/blocks/forms/1.0/498_1_1.html use Avalon's ServiceManager interface. However, at the "New in 2.2" page it says that "Cocoon 2.2 doesn't use an Avalon-based component manager any more but uses Spring 2 instead.".

Cocoon 2.2 internally uses Spring, but it still provides backward compatibility (as far as it's possible) with Cocoon 2.1, so it implements Avalon functionality and provides an implementation of Avalon's ServiceManager. Because of this CForms 1.0 can continue to use ServiceManager.

I should also mention that there is CForms version 1.1 which does not use ServiceManager anymore and is migrated to Spring.

Links to CForms 1.0 and 1.1:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/branches/cocoon-forms-1.0.0/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/trunk/blocks/cocoon-forms/

I would add that we have already Spring implementation for Apples, see[1]. This way, Controllers can be just Spring beans so Dependency Injection can be used instead of ServletManager from Avalon.

Magnus, since you said you don't know Spring or Avalon I think you will have hard times using Java code in Cocoon. I would say that you don't need to be a master of Spring to use Cocoon but some basics are highly recommended.

In this particular case I would advise you to take a look at apples block samples[2][3] and figure out how to migrate them to Spring with help of people from this list. This way you would learn basics and could contribute migrated samples to community so others could benefit.
