<s1 title="What is Cocoon?">
<p>
- Apache Cocoon is an XML publishing framework that raises the usage of
- XML and XSLT technologies for server applications to a new
- level. Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX
- processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on a separation
- of concerns between content, logic, and style. To top this all off,
- Cocoon's centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching help
- you to create, deploy, and maintain rock-solid XML server applications.
+ Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concepts of
+ separation of concerns (making sure people can interact and collaborate on a
+ project, without stepping on each other toes) and component-based web
+ development.
</p>
<p>
- Cocoon interacts with most data sources, including filesystems, RDBMS,
- LDAP, native XML databases, and network-based data sources. It adapts
- content delivery to the capabilities of different devices like HTML, WML,
- PDF, SVG, and RTF, to name just a few. You can run Cocoon as a Servlet as well as
- through a powerful, commandline interface. The deliberate design of its abstract
- environment gives you the freedom to extend its functionality to meet your
- special needs in a highly modular fashion.
+ Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component pipelines',
+ each component on the pipeline specializing on a particular operation. This
+ makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions,
+ hooking together components into pipelines without any required programming.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Cocoon is "<em>web glue for your web application development needs</em>". It
+ is a glue that keeps concerns separate and allows parallel evolution of the
+ two sides, improving development pace and reducing the chance of conflicts.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Cocoon has been designed to coexist and interoperate side-by-side with your
+ existing J2EE solutions or to give them new functionality without requiring
+ any change in the existing infrastructure.

SAP provides a connector that works for R/3 (release 3.1i which is many,
many years old and above - now they have reached 4.7) and all their "New
Dimension" products like CRM, Business Warehouse, ...
The API of this connector (called JayCo for Java Connector contains a
Java library and a native library for the operating system on which it
is installed) is rather stable and I think it is J2EE complient since
JayCo 2.x. So updates shouldn't be necessary that often.
Cheers,
Reinhard

"Just do it" (tm)! Carsten hasn't finished his meal yet. ;-)
Uhm: just a wondering thought: don't this thing needs regular updates?
Or does it run OOTB with SAP? I'm utterly SAP-clueless, so any real-life
experiences with it would be welcome.

no problem for me as long as you also indicate that SAP R/3 data can
now be converted to MID files ;-)

Does anybody mind if I add "SAP R/3 (r)" as another option?
