New to cocoon - encountered a few roadblocks

[Peter Wyngaard <PW...@compendiabio.com>]

Greetings,

 

I started using cocoon about a week ago, and I am impressed with how
quickly I was able to get up and running with it.

 

First, I'm running off cocoon 2.2 trunk, as I needed to use the SQL
Transformer, and some combination of documentation and reading mailing
list posts led me in the direction of cocoon-databases-bridge along with
the definition of the data source within a Spring bean.  I struggled
with this for a while, ended up in the debugger, and posted a comment in
Daisy that Grzegorz Kossakowski appears to have incorporated.

 

I've also encountered a few other roadblocks along the way, and if folks
don't mind, I'd like to start some threads for them.  I have found
workarounds and/or fixes for some of them, but being new to cocoon, I
might be off track.  Regardless, some of these issues may be things that
other people have tried to do, or will try to do in the future.

 

Also, please let me know if there is a better place within the Cocoon
community to bring these issues up.

 

Thanks,

 

Peter

A word of caution: cocoon-databases-bridge has not been released yet (which documentation forgets to
mention) so you need to check out Cocoon's sources and compile it yourself.

Release process of bridge is synchronized with a release process of Cocoon 2.2 final which is
scheduled for around the end of Janaury.

Yep, thanks again for pointing out to me this problem. Just for record, docs for
cocoon-databases-bridge are officialy published now:

Congratulations and good to hear. Usually it's the other way around that 
people have hard times to get started and get more productive once they 
get to know Cocoon.

This is definitly appreciated. Also this mailing list is the best forum 
within the Cocoon community to bring things like this up. Once they are 
"confirmed" they might go into the documentation or filed as issue in Jira.
