XSP is not available in Cocooon 2.2 - see:

java objects + flowscript + template.
Alternatively, stick to Cocoon 2.1 unless you have some other
critical reasons to use 2.2
XSP is "available", it's just that the block infrastructure has not been
migrated yet to Cocoon 2.2/Maven. I don't think (but somebody might
correct me here) that actual code needs to be changed. So the migration
should be rather easy.
Warning: I'm stating my own opinion here, nothing official or something like
that.
There are at least three problems with XSP:
1. No active committer is interested in XSP anymore, and even more, hardly anyone wants to invest
her time in technology that seems to be deprecated in every dev's head but still block is not
officially marked as deprecated.
2. The only reason why people keep trying to use XSP is that it has decent documentation on our site
and this documentation has no information about XSP status. We should really explain people that
Templates + Flowscript is much better approach.
3. XSP is really old technique and is not maintained by anyone (again officially, at dev/commits
list). I'm not the one willing to take costs of XSP maintenance in C2.2 therefore I'll probably vote
-1 for any actions leading to release of XSP block for C2.2. This is my first such a strong voice in
this case but I firmly believe it's a high time have a concrete opinion.
Still, I'm open for discussion of course.
