I suspect you to be just a little 'Cocoon tifosi' ;-)

I didn't even start my servlets (many parts of code but no real running
servlet).
What I need is a good framework. My problem will be that this solution
(cocoon producer,
or servlet + xalan) will have to work also on AS/400 V4R3/V4R4 and IBM
WebSphere 2.x/3.x.

Could I find an example producer (skeleton).

Typically I will have :

BROWSER -> APACHE 1.3.11 + MOD_SSL 2.5.0 + JSERV 1.1 -> TOMCAT 3.1M1 -> XXXX

Where XXX will be a servlet :

- getting POST parameters, 
- format/send params to internal middleware
- wait/transform results into XML 
- send to an HTML Transformer (via XSL files) and then send to browser
(res.setContentType("text/xml")

Question: My XSL files will not change too often but my XML results each
time. How Cocoon handle
this fact (I read there is a cache system but I must be for a given XML+XSL
couple ?)

Many thanks for any suggestions....

Gomez,

Cocoon will run on the AS400 platform V4R4 inside weblogic (except for XSP) no
problemo.
