p dir=”ltr”>Right on the ball. I played around with Cocoon, but gave up on it eventually. I find Java still good for server works, but found JSP and Struts to be inappropriate for a lot of applications. I now discourage my clients from using Java if they don't have a significant Java resources already in place. Dolts who read a few Java books and passed Java certification tests don't qualify as significant Java resources. For most applications, going with PHP or Python will get you the same thing for a lot cheaper to create and evolve. I am warming up to ASP.NET as well.
