Hi Ralph, I would like to give a slightly different view :
As a server for XML requests coming from the Ajax UI implementation ( and probably serving the web pages ) Cocoon _is_ the recommended way to serve a state-of-the-art UI !

Before you undertake this it would be wise to understand your use case better. Earlier this year we did some benchmarking by creating some portlets using JSF and IceFaces and determined that they would not even come close to scaling to our requirements. The same use cases reimplemented using Spring MVC and JQuery or GWT had no problem scaling. If your use cases are heavy-weight applications with multi-page flows then JSF would still make sense, especially if your load isn't all that high. As for using Cocoon for the UI, given the state of UI technologies I don't think I'd recommend Cocoon for that any more. However, for manipulating XML-based content it is still a great way to go. For example, converting content in a CMS from XML to HTML, PDFs, etc. Ralph On Dec 17, 2009, at 6:34 AM, Wendy Bossons wrote: > I take it no one can come up with a use case for Cocoon with JSF. . . so I > will consider my rewrite as a new JSF application, without Cocoon.
