Tomcat+Struts+Cocoon: Good tutorials needed about Cocoon integration

Thread view: 
Thomas S. - 11 Nov 2004 17:43 GMT
Hello, there!

I hope, someone can help me with my problem:

We have developed a CRM system (Apache+Tomcat+Struts+M$-SQL) which
does provide reports. These reports are integrated as SQL-Statements
in JSP pages and executed there via a Taglib. The result is always
a styled HTML table.

But now we want to expand this service by providing an export of these
tables additionally as Excel or PDF (in the same style). Therefor we
have searched for a solution which already provides such a feature.

Apache's Cocoon has cought our attention there.

Our question: Is there a good tutorial out there how to integrate
Cocoon in an already fully developed environment like a CRM system?
I googled the net but so far I have not found a satisfying document.

Maybe someone knows the place to look? ;-)

Thanks in advance for your help,
Thomas

After excessive googling, I found it by myself:

http://struts.sourceforge.net/struts-cocoon/

A cocoon plug-in for Struts. You can handle your actions like usual
and pass a forward to a JSP page which, instead of HTML source, generates
XML code. This XML code will be handled by Cocoon and serialized to
whatever format you want: HTML, Excel, PDF etc.

There u go!

Thomas
