Rings a bell here, cause I'm thinking along the same lines between Enhydra
(www.enhydra.org) and Cocoon.
How about using these (struts, enhydra, etc.) as XML-based back-ends to a
Cocoon presentation front-end?
I'm thinking of Cocoon relaying user HTTP requests to the back-end, and the
back-end replying with XML documents representing the "logical contents" of
pages (see also [1]).
The back-end would be fully testable with anteater, JUnit/HTTPUnit or
something using HTTP/XML interactions, and the Cocoon front-end would be
nicely decoupled and care only about the presentation layer.
Any comments? First-hand experiences?

Posted by Ivelin Ivanov <iv...@apache.org>.
As long as Struts is concerned, Cocoon 2.1 includes the XMLForm
components, which takes a lot of Struts' ideas.
XMLForm was designed from the ground up for REST style web services.

If you want to contribute a comparison document, I'll welcome it. ;)
