web application
Hi!
Is cocoon right tool to build web application (many forms, javascript
and server-side input checking,
database interaction) or it's better to use Enhydra for that purpose?
Best Wishes,

this can be done, yes.

Are they mutually exclusive?
I want to use the xml/xsl formatting thing because it answers a clear
problem and is based on a standard, not some proprietary tagging thang. If
(as it seems) enhydra is also a servlet, why can't enhydra manage the
producers' environment (sessions, requests, etc) which then generate xml
which is routed through cocoon for processing?
Don't know a lot about enhydra, mind.
Alistair.

Good question.
To be honest, I don't know :)
Some view Cocoon as complex, some view it as simple.... but admittedly,
it started as a publishing framework, not a web application framework,
unlike Enhydra (or Turbine).
We will converge, but this won't happen soon, we already have soo many
things to do...
