Hi, As we look at porting one of our applications from Cocoon 2.1 to 3.0, one thing I saw causes me concern [1]:
> A Cocoon 3 pipeline always goes through the same sequence of > components to produce its output. There is no support for > conditionals, loops, tees or alternative flows in the case of errors. > The reason for this restriction is simplicity and that non-linear > pipelines are more difficult (or even impossible) to be cached. In > practice this means that a pipeline has to be contructed completely at > build-time. > > If non-linear XML pipes with runtime-support for conditionals, loops, > tees and error-flows are a requirement for you, see the XProc > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XProc> standard of the W3C. There are > several available implementations for it. > Is this still true, that Cocoon 3 pipelines cannot have conditionals or error flows? or is that obsolete? Our application occasionally uses <map:select> and <map:handle-errors>, so this could be an indication that Cocoon 3 will not meet our needs. On the other hand, the sitemap at cocoon-all-3.0.0-alpha-3\src\cocoon-sample\src\main\resources\COB-INF\sitemap.xmap has both <map:select> and <map:handle-errors> in it. So maybe that sitemap does not represent a sitemap that will work with Cocoon 3.0? In that case, is there any sample sitemap that will work with C3? That was the only sample sitemap I had found (except the one under cocoon-profiling, which has barely anything in it).
