This year I had the honour of doing my second keynote presentation for a Cocoon GetTogether. On popular demand I was talking about Cocoon 2.2 and the developer’s motivations behind all the new stuff:
- Spring 2.0 as component container
- the Servlet-Service framework that establishes contracts in modular web applications
(no dependency on Cocoon core – easily resuseable outside the Cocoon world) - Easier configuration using the Spring Configurator. There is no need for patching XML configuration files.
(no dependency on Cocoon core – easily resuseable outside the Cocoon world) - Easier development
- three Maven 2 archetypes available to give your Cocoon 2.2 project a jump start
- run any Cocoon 2.2 block using the Cocoon Maven plugin which allows reload of any resources, also Java classes and Spring bean defintions
Here is my presentation as a PDF.
