Yes there is. :) Please have a look on my commit r1142136 there I
migrated the "old" DirectoryGenerator.java to c3. With this commit you
can see the main tasks involved.

I didn't realize I could do this!

Here's the new issue:

RE: database access in Cocoon 3?

Please open the issue under https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON3 since the COCOON project
in JIRA is for C2 related issues.

Cheers, Alfred.

[C3] User survey on increase of minimum Java version to 1.6.0 for Cocoon3

Dear Cocooneers,

On the dev list we have been discussing whether to increase
the minimum Java version required for building and running
Cocoon3 (C3) from currently 1.5.0 (Java5) to 1.6.0 (Java6).

C3 is a green-field reimplementation of the Cocoon pipeline concept.
Thanks to the efforts of Reinhold Pötz and many others, C3 has now
already enough functionality implemented to be useful for certain
application types.

Java5 has been declared end-of-life in Oct 2009 with extended
support until 2015.  Java6 has been available since Dec 2006.

Given the choice you should certainly prefer to run Cocoon on Java6
to profit from its performance improvements.  For developers Java6
also offers a new features.

In fact, C3 developers usually use Java6 telling it to behave like
Java5.  When not careful the odd Java6-ism can sneak into the codebase.
That breaks the backwards compatibility when deployed on real Java5.

These are all solvable problems but a bit of a hassle draining the
scarce resources we can devote to the improvements of C3.  Therefore
the proposal to make Java6 the minimum version required for C3.

But we care about our fellow Cocoon aficionados and don't want to
leave anyone behind.  

Therefore this user survey:

Location of I18N catalogs

I am new to using the Cocoon I18N feature and have only worked off the 
example given in samples/i18n. The way I have it set up is that the 
catalogs are in their own /translations/ folder at the top level of the 
project. The location is then set in the map:transformer element for i18n:

<catalogues default="messages">
<catalogue id="messages" name="messages" location="translations"/>
</catalogues>

I was wondering if it is possible to get the i18n catalogs from a 
location outside of Cocoon, such as a database via a PHP script that 
formats it into the proper XML. I tried setting the location to a cocoon 
relative pipeline "cocoon:/..." that read in an outside XML file but 
this didn't work. Is it possible to do something like this?

Thanks,

Than G.
