I have not looked closely enough at 2.2 to see if this is true;
if so, I would be very disappointed as I have used Cocoon 
since 1.9 days - and the beauty of it has been that I have not
had to write any custom Java code, as Cocoon has provided all
the logic and components needed to use it "as is".  The recent 
addition of templating and flowscript has catered more than
adequately for any logic needed, and dispensed with the need
for the rather messy XML+Java of the old XSPs.

Can you perhaps expand on your observations, so that we can get
a more detailed response from the developers?

Thanks
Derek

I started with cocoon 2.0. If you remember the scope as explained in the 
"What is" documentation:

Apache Cocoon is an XML publishing framework

Cocoon 2.2 lacks nearly all prerequisites to fulfill the old promise. 
I've no interest to program Java-
components, I want to manipulate XML contents in a structured way (using 
XSLT) to present them.
Generators, transformers, actions, serializers should help me to 
accomplish tasks difficult to realize in
a pure XSLT environment.

Given the actual documentation it is easier to get the work done with 
XSLT than with Cocoon. From
my point of view the developers of 2.2 have lost the user perspective of 
their work.

Greetings
Reinhard
