Hi all,
Ran across this page and searched the archive for references. Found one from a year or so ago from Sylvain, so I thought it might be time to point it out again. The Wafer Project compares the feature sets of major Java-based web application frameworks. Companies love this sort of chart because it can save a lot of tedious research in making technology decisions. We all know, though, that it's nearly impossible to know how accurate and/or up-to-date data like this is on the Internet.
So, I'm wondering if someone who knows the innards of Cocoon better than I do could help the gentlepeople who created this chart update it with Cocoon's current feature-set.

Wow, there's a lot that should be checked, i.e.:
I18N (Effortless) Security (Auth-FW) Documentation: D,E,F,G,J,T Error Handling (i.e. <map:handle-errors/>) IDE Integration (SunBow) Web Services (WSProxy, HttpProxy) Direct Database Access (ESQL, etc) Workflow (The Flowscript) XML-RPC (This really falls under web services) Job Scheduling - Scheduler in cron block.
Not sure about EJB or O/R stuff, since I don't mess with it much. It's a little hazy by which methods these featuresets are evaluated.
If anyone has tips on out-of-date information for other frameworks in the chart I'd be interested as well.
Jeff
