Re: Use Cocoon as a rapid development tool?? (Jetty vs Tomcat)
Wow, Jetty must be *very* fast - I usually only
have to wait a few seconds for a Tomcat restart
on my machine....

It depends on how you organize your dev environment. When I start a new
Cocoon-based project, I usually:
- compile the latest version incuding just the blocks I need
- edit the build/webapp/sitemap.xmap file removing everything but the
<map:components> section
- copy the WEB-INF directory and the sitemap to my project
- import new CVS module in my own repository
- start adding functionality
This way, if I want to later add other blocks or upgrade to a newer
version, all I have to do is overwrite files in WEB-INF and never touch
my application files.
In other words, I don't do applications by extending Cocoon, but I add
Cocoon to my apps, so to say.
And I never use Tomcat in development. I use Jetty and if I need to ad
a
new JAR I just restart it. Jetty's startup is very fast, compared to
Tomcat.

Maybe when we have real blocks.

Properly acquiring and releasing session, for instance.

Jetty is much faster than TC4. TC5 has sped up considerably since TC4, so if I'm worried about
startup time, I'll use either Jetty or TC5.
