Hello Anthony,
I've recently been pointed to your feature matrix [1], and I would like to update you with some features of Cocoon which should be updated in your matrix:
I18N -- Through the I18NTransformer, docs located at [2]
Security -- Cocoon has an extensive authentication framework which does not rely on the container.
Documentation: D,E,F,G,J,T (Self explanatory)
Error Handling -- Cocoon can handle internal errors very easily, see [3]
IDE Integration -- S&N produces an Eclipse plugin called "sunBow" which is very useful for Cocoon Development. See [4]
Web Services -- Cocoon has a WebServiceProxy Generator component, [5] as well as a generic HttpProxy component.
Direct Database Access -- Cocoon can connect to JDBC data sources, as well as XML databases such as Xindice.
Workflow -- Cocoon has a Flow layer which utilizes the Rhino Javascript engine, and continuations. See [6].
XML-RPC -- This really falls under web services -- You can easily connect using a Java XML-RPC library from the Flow layer.
Job Scheduling - Cocoon has a "Cron" block which allows execution of code at specific time intervals.
Thanks for listening -- we eagerly await the update of the product matrix. :)
Regards,
Tony Collen
