...Aren't these objectives part of Cocoon 22 also ? I though part of the
rationale for blocks was that
they are--beyond a small core-- optional and modular, you don't have to
have any you don't need.
So building a 'lightweight' cocoon App would be part of Cocoon 22
already. Or are the core
dependencies of 2.2 already too heavy a footprint ?...
I think the main difference is that Corona (er...Cocoon 3) is much
easier to embed and use from other frameworks, as its core has very
few external dependencies.
That's an important criteria for people who just want to use the nice
Cocoon stuff (pipelines mostly, in my case) in other environments, as
opposed to building apps completely on Cooon.

ah, 'Nice Cocoon Stuff'.
Well for me that is also pipelines mostly. but also:-
For the start of the pipeline, Read-access to a relational database, and
simple access to remote
services such as SOAP. I am not bothered much about write access to the
data-base in Cocoon.
At present I don't much use either aggregation or continuations,
although i have dabbled in
them and like them both.
It looks to me as if 'Virtuoso' might overtake Cocoon as a kind of
universal data-source
for the start of a pipeline. Possibly not, it looks like quite a hefty
bit of gear to have
on the same server as cocoon.
I shall certainly check it out. http://docs.openlinksw.com/virtuoso/
... but as the manual is a few _thousand_ pages, possibly not today.
In the pipeline, I also like i18n, and a smattering of sitemap logic.
At the end of the pipeline I shall want FOP, although I may also
out-source some serialization to something outside of cocoon.
Will Corona have that lot in its 'Nice Cocoon Stuff' ?
And if so, in spite of the general consensus that 2.2 is the way
forward, should I
just stick to the 2.1.11 (which satisfies my current needs) until
Corona catches up. ?
Yours sincerely,
Ken.
