[Webwork-devel] Cocoon2 integration

[Sven K. <sv...@im...>]

I have now put together all things needed so you can have a look the C2
stuff I've done.
You can download the bundle from http://www.tzi.de/~svenk/webcoon.zip

Unzip the package, do a "build jar", deploy work\jar\webcoon.war in your
favourite servlet container and surf to http://host/webcoon
This was successfully tested with Tomcat 4.0.4-b2 standalone It  failed on
Jboss-Catalina 3.0 RC. JBoss+Catalina 2.4.4 works.

If you'd like to take a look behind the scenes, everything you need is in
resources\web\mount\webwork. Esp. sitemap.xmap is of interest.

Currently, the Cocoon folks are discussing a new InputModule concept which
might be useful for my work. Because of this and due to personal time
constraints I have stopped work on this for now.

So far, I have implemented as much of the ui-tags as needed to get the bank
app running. Notable changes are
- the themability of ui tags will be implemented using xslt. A first shot at
this is included in the bank app for example.
- webwork:include support is completely missing ATM. I am not entirely sure
how to do this yet. Maybe one could use C2's XInclude transformer or the
sitemap's aggregation concept.

Comments, suggestions and improvements welcome :-)
