RE: What is it? RE: Cocoon on the iSeries

["Mangavalli, Ramanujam" <RamM@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can someone post instructions about installing and running cocoon on the
iSeries? Or point me to a location where I can find these.
I am reading all the exciting stuff about Cocoon. But I have questions like
do I need PASE installed, websphere installed, which version of JDK etc...

thanks in advance.

I don't know how you would do that directly, but Cocoon provides the
functionnalities
easily.

The URL you access is an XML file.

This file, contains the data, can be dynamically created.

You just have to tell to Cocoon what you want to do with this file:
        - what is the XSL transformation file
        - what is the expected format (PDF, HTML, WAP)

Once this file is accessed and the XML data obtained, Cocoon use the given
XSL file to generate
the given output.

As a result it is really easy to get the kind of presentation you want.

You have to generate the XML (statically or dynamically)
Tell what is the output
Write the XSL file.

I suggest you have a look at the http://xml.apache.org web site

How does this differ than using FOP to convert an XML file to PDF or Xalan
to convert an XML to HTML using  tag libraries.
