Cocoon without a Servlet Engine
Dear All,
I have an application (in Java) in which I would like to interface directly to the Cocoon
core to request URIs, which it will then process itself (e.g. sending XML to clients via
FTP or HTTP post).
Is there a way that I can request URIs from the Cocoon core using a Java interface,
rather than using HTTP?
I am aware of the command line interface, but have been told that it is not yet very
stable, and that some features will not work with it. (It didn't seem to work very well when
I tried it myself).
How easy would it be to make my application pretend to be a servlet engine, and thus
call Cocoon as any servlet engine would?
Thanks for any advice.
Upayavira

If you take a look into the classes mentioned, you will see lots of
Avalon and Logger details. These should be hidden by the (to-be-written)
CocoonBean.

Can you give me any info on this 'CocoonBean', or on the potential simplification of
accessing cocoon without a servlet engine via Java code?
Thanks,

Yes, take a look at CocoonServlet.java and Main.java. They do call
Cocoon using Java interface. It's not very easy ATM, but there are plans
to make it easier by providing CocoonBean (Nicola? :)

I can say that it is stable, and feature rich enough to be used to
generate offline content of the site. If you launch it without
parameters, it will return you help on available options.

It works well for generation of Cocoon docs, and in other places too.
See "build docs".

Base your code on CocoonServlet and/or Main.java. It's not very simple,
but in future this will be simplified.
