What is it? RE: Cocoon on the iSeries

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

Cocoon is a Web publishing framework. It is usually used to publish
content stored in XML documents. Cocoon makes it a lot easier to
take one XML document and then distribute it to multiple formats. For
example, an invoice marked up using XML can be published to the
Web, a PDA, or to a PDF document. That way an RPGIV program that
outputs the equivalent of a report is accessible from multiple
platforms.
Once you have a target definition set up, it is very little work to
publish to
the target. Cocoon comes with built in support for most common
targets.
