Possibly the coolest
tla, XSP's (
XML server pages) home in the world is
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/.
Cocoon is an
XML publishing framework that runs under
Jakarta (
http://jakarta.apache.org/). Cocoon's primary concern is seperating
content,
logic, and
style.
Painless install
You will need a
JVM (
http://java.sun.com/) and a
servlet engine (
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/). Set JAVA_HOME enviornment variable so it points to your
JDK (e.g. under windows, go to system properties -> advanced tab -> environment variables -> new: JAVA_HOME = 'c:\j2sdk1.4.0'). Download the appropirate binaries (or source, if you're so inclined) from
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/dist/ Stop
tomcat. Extract cocoon.war from the archive and place it in your $
TOMCAT/webapps directory. Start
tomcat. Open
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/ and wait while the .war is unpacked —
It seems you got me running :)
Be sure to check out the samples (
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/welcome). Happy
XSP-ing.
