This cocoon version supports the latest Xerces and Xalan versions, and the next-to-latest
FOP version, so I have imported these.
Changes since cocoon-1.7.4:
Cleaned up docs, especially how-it-works and FAQ; added new questions
and answers to FAQ.
Changed XSPPage to only clone nodes where necessary, enhancing performance
for complex pages.
Changed <xsp:pi> back to use target= instead of name= in order
not to break existing users' code (which there is a lot of!).
Changed XSP docs to reflect correct usage.
Added very primitive profiler (see cocoon.properties)
Fixed some synchronization errors in Engine. You can now call a Cocoon
page from a Cocoon page, if you really want (this is inefficient and a
bad architecture, but it's possible.)
Made response taglib work on Servlet API 2.0 engines
Added xspdoc comments to esql logicsheet and added xspdoc to document convertor in the xml.apache.org site skin directory. god only knows how i'm supposed to add
it to the build procedure... help
Added error handling to esql logicsheet and documented its use in esql sample.
Added esql logicsheet
Added installation instructions for iPlanet.
Added namespace preservation to Java code-generation taglib
Added java compiler abstraction for XSP compilation (now we can use Jikes to improve XSP compilation speed).
Implemented blocking in Engine to make Cocoon run better under heavy load.
Made XSP SQL processor do array to string conversion when using a Format object on a text column
Brought XInclude processor into conformance (mostly) with the 2000-07-17 version of the working draft.
Included FP form-handling taglib for XSP.
Updated Cocoon installation case document.
Removed normalize-space from sql logicsheet's get-nested-string template
Changed turbine libraries to just include connection pool stuff, added connection pool docs
Added connection pool (and turbine) to sql logicsheet
Added support for site-absolute links in xinclude processor
Patched sql processor documentation to be fully up to date! Hoorah!
Added connection cache to sql processor
Disabled "created by cocoon" comment for HTTP HEAD requests.
Added HTTP method to Utils.encode so HEAD and GET are distinguishable
XIncludeProcessor now strips document type nodes from included documents
Added new installation case that should provide insights for newbies.
Added printer friendly skin so the documentation can now be generated to
be printer friendly when needed. (stylesheets are pretty crappy right now, but hopefully
some nice guy will improve them)
and add a new patch which fixes the behavior of the slideshow example under
a default cocoon config. The slideshow example is an incredibly cool example
of what can be done with just a little XML and XSL, but it doesn't work exactly
right under the default config.
Cocoon is a 100% pure Java publishing framework that relies on new W3C
technologies (such as DOM, XML, and XSL) to provide web content.
There is a good overview of the technologies Cocoon uses to streamline
the web publishing process at
