Johnny's Software Saloon

Weblog where I discuss things that really interest me. Things like Java software development, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Macintosh software, Cocoa, Eclipse IDE, OOP, content management, XML technologies, CSS and XSLT document styling, artificial intelligence, standard document formats, and cool non-computing technologies.

I like writing software, listening to music (mostly country and rock but a little of everything), walking around outside, reading (when I have the time), relaxing in front of my TV watching my TiVo, playing with my cat, and riding around in my hybrid gas/electric car.

Interview with Stefano Mazzocchi, inventor of Apache Cocoon

There is a great article, called Interview with Stefano Mazzocchi, inventor of Apache Cocoon, that discusses the birth, development, and status of Cocoon up to the time when Cocoon 2.1 was being developed. Cocoon 2.1 is the current version.

It started off as a contracted project to use a Microsoft Access database, of all things!

In the article, Stefano mentions his role as Apache's representative to the JSR-170 Java Repository API committee. The Java Repository API defines how to access a Content Repository from Java.

He talks a little about performance and why he feels Cocoon 2.1 should allay people's concerns in that area.

All in all it is a very good article to read for anyone interested in Cocoon, XML-aware applications and/or services, and other similar subjects.
