Re: Cocoon 2.1.t: is it still difficult to embed a CForm into legacy pages?

This is not the case since really a long time. Don't know if it was a 
year ago, but the stylesheets were splitted and can be now reused and 
integrated quite easily. There is one stylesheet integrating all others 
when doing CForms standalone. This stylesheet is the only one producing 
<body>, <head>, etc.
In the meantime the core stylesheets have even been moved into the 
cforms.jar while the integrating stylesheet called 
forms-samples-styling.xsl remains in the samples section of the cforms 
block.

Don't know about the current status here. Do you have tested the 
CompilingClassLoader. This should even have worked with former Cocoon 
versions.
The future looks even more bright: JCI (Java Compiler Interface) and 
Javaflow have both been moved from Cocoon to Jakarta Commons Sandboy and 
are developed independently. I expect an integration with much 
improvement in the near future.
