Subject: Migrating e-commerce from php to Cocoon
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello all,
We have an e-commerce web site, and we need to step away from joomla. 
One of the options we are looking into is to use cocoon. Now, the 
difficulty is, we need to migrate on part at a time and keep the site 
secure. And we need to use a mechanism, not to update (refresh) the 
whole page. Just only the corresponding part, more/less like Iframes or 
ajax.
I have looked into cocoon portlets (not very deep). But again, I don't 
know if this will integrate easily with the existing site.

The plan is to replace each segment of the page with a cocoon block that 
is deployed on tomcat on the same machine. I have seen before the usage 
of "local" in the sitemap, to restrict access to local machine, which 
will help in ensuring that all the request will go through  Joomla 
first. The problem here is. If I use portlets, can they be deployed one 
at a time and work like the blocks.

I need an advice/comments about this. If someone have done the same, 
please let me know.
