SAP?
Hey, I'm learning SAP for work. Boring as finding sand in the desert.
While I'm supposed to learn SAP's BAPI (java, of course) would anyone be
interested in me making an SAP Processor for Cocoon? It might keep me awake.
While I'm on the topic, what other sources of digital information (besides
SQL or LDAP) does a company (or government) have that might be used by
Cocoon?
iCalender? System status? Network status? EBPP? EDI?

YES! This would be a Processor we would love to have. Actually we may be
able to help a little. We have dones SAP BAPI work from Microsoft COM
components.
Do it. :-)

Email dude, email! I keep on saying it: if we give people email taglibs,
I'm sure Kevin will work out some JetSpeed module for that, isn't it
burtonator
<<<
My list:
SAP BAPI
Email
A Generic RMI Processor
A Portal Processor
RMI
===
I would imagine designing a generic RMI interface with a method such as
"Execute()" The function would take XML as input and return XML. That way
you could hook up RMI servers via this generic interface. The the XML for
the processor would define the lookup stuff and the class used etc.
Portal
======
Ok I realise there is JetSpeed - but that _uses_ Cocoon to generate the
specific HTML pages - right? I would rather imagine a portal processor which
can generate portal specific XML (is there a DTD for this?) and then injects
that into the outgoing XML. The combination (PortalXML and ApplicationXML)
can then be parsed by the XSL stuff.
Or is JetSpeed the better choice? From what I have read if I use JetSpeed I
change my processing model and I like the way the processors hook into
Coccoon. I see the Portal part being in Cocoon - and not the other way
around.

Sure. It might add great marketing power to the project as a whole.
Many companies use SAP and I happened to see their plan for XML support
and I laughted big time since it was SOAP-- with proprietary extentions.
Yuch.
A Cocoon processor/filter/taglib/whatever for SAP could be much easier
to work with, I think.

Whatever you like, we eat it :)

A (network) status monitor via SNMP perhaps, in order to use Cocoon
instead of MRTG?
