Hi Ken,
I guess that many people feel the same way about XSP. Remember "XSP is
evil" :

From my point of view, XSP was one of the reasons of Cocoon's success,
of course not the only one. And the lack of XSP block in 2.2 (and more)
is one of the reasons of the recently related "unattractiveness" of
Cocoon's new directions.

I hardly think 'pears and apples' are a good simile, they are far too
similar to one
another. Perhaps 'oranges and apples' or even 'sausages and
marmalade'.
By the way, sausages and marmalade go very well together.
My main complaint is that XSP is deprecated in Cocoon 2.2, in fact it
seems to
be sneered-at. For me, it provides just the tiny amount of Java I
need - I still
don't want to learn the language thoroughly. It comes below both ruby
and even
Acrobat javascript for me. Python has always been more useful, and now
the
adobe Flex environment looks pretty alluring - in all of these I use
XML, and
often it is obtained from a localhost Cocoon pipeline.
Cocoon 2.1.x - love it
XSLT (2) - love it
XSP - love it
Eclipse, XML, XML-Schema, other XML tools - love 'em all !
Cocoon 2.2 - too much java needed, not backward-compatible enough,
(Database connection) a few other grumbles.
will re-evaluate it in 12 months or so, but I have already wasted too
much time for this year
Cocoon 2.3 - not powerful enough for my needs, last time I looked
Bye for now,
Ken.
