Stability of Cocoon 2.2 SVN

[Lally Singh <la...@gmail.com>]

Hey everyone, I'm planning on doing a new project in Cocoon, and was
wondering if the SVN (2.2) codebase is stable enough for production
use?

I'm mostly interested in its mavenization and use of Spring.  Maven's
pretty important, Spring can be replaced as long as Hibernate or an
equivalent is available.

Thanks in advance!

CForms block is shared between C2.1.x and C2.2 so you should not worry 
about it's stability. I don't know much about LDAP auth so won't comment.

It's funny that I was planning to write tutorial on writing simple 
questionnaire application with use of CForms, Template, Flowscript and 
all powered by C2.2's new, outstanding features. Unfortunately, some 
work is needed[1][2] before I can base my tutorial on the new stuff. I 
hope that I'm near the end of this process and will be able to write 
this tutorial quite soon.

Thanks for the quick reply!

We're building a survey system, with LDAP auth and some fairly
in-depth reporting.  I'm working on Hibernate integration right now,
and will worry about learning CForms and cocoon's authentication
system after that.

It depends on which parts of C2.2 you are going to use. You've mentioned 
Spring support, from my experience I can say that is really stable and 
usable. I've written few Spring-based components for C2.2 and they work 
like a charm. Whole core seems work well at least for me (I do some 
little modifications of core). From time to time some modules are 
added/removed/refactored which can lead to broken builds but it's 
usually really easy to fix that.

Also its worth saying that many important parts of C2.2 will get 
released as with status RC or milestone to the Maven's repository really 
soon. I think it's best option to use these released artifacts as it'll 
be the easiest and the most reliable way to try C2.2.

Please provide further details of requirements/plans or more specific 
questions so we could provide more concrete answers.
