oddly enough, the first example of embedded XSP in the Moczar and Aston
book is to find the time
with a tiny bit of embedded java.
<xsp:logic>
Date now = new Date();
</xsp:logic>.
...
By the way, today's date is <xsp:expr>now,/xsp;exp>
----------
I have also used the considerable date/time functionality of postgreSQL
to construct entire (virtual) tables for a
calendar - then imported them into the cocoon pipeline.
(i can't remember off hand which approach is done just once, and which
is re-done on-the-fly at every refresh if you want
time to the centisecond as well as date)

Out of interest... which part of Cocoon lacks "date/time awareness" -
the sitemap? Can't a (custom-written) java module execute/call an
external program? Also not sure about "directory listing" - does the
Directory Generator not serve in that role?

I've been using Cocoon almost since the start, and although there are
bits I haven't grokked yet, I find it one of the most productive tools
around. There are aspects of its design I disagree with (the removal of
DTD-detected pipelines from v1.*, the lack of interface to the system
like directory listing or date/time awareness, and the inability to
execute an external program even when the program generates XML, unless
you fake it via a web script), but it's flexible enough to work around
most of these.
Reports of XSLT's demise are much exaggerated :-)
