I use it real-time in a development environment, but then generate static to go to the production servers. "Just a servlet" doesn't lend itself to the command line generation aspect very well. That said, I think that the earlier discussion of extending it beyond web, into email, etc, is going to really push things past the point of complicated...maybe "Just Content Generation" Andy Lewis eBusiness Development Manager VERITAS Software, Heathrow, Florida Voice: 407-531-7584 - Fax: 407-531-7686 - Cell: 407-718-4718 Pager: 4077184718@mobile.att.net - EMail: andy.lewis@veritas.com " Some days, it is best to keep reality at arms length..." -----Original Message----- From: Pierpaolo Fumagalli [mailto:pier@apache.org] Sent: Monday, January 24, 2000 1:44 PM To: cocoon-dev@xml.apache.org Subject: Re: [Moving on] SAX vs. DOM part II brian moseley wrote: > > On Mon, 24 Jan 2000, Niclas Hedhman wrote: > > > And having Cocoon as a pure engine, it will make it more > > appealing to drop it into larger application frameworks > > as a standard component.

I would add, it's a servlet, and an application that generates servlet-like requests for creating off-line browseable web site (a servlet with an integrated mirroring tool, per say!)
