Publish dynamic XML content with Cocoon 2, Part 2: Working with XSP in Apache Cocoon 2

Generate dynamic XML content with XML Server Pages

Leigh Dodds (leigh@xmlhack.com), Developer and editor, Ingenta, Ltd.

Leigh Dodds is team leader of the Research and Technology Group at Ingenta, Ltd. He has five years of experience in developing on the Java platform, and he has spent the last three years working with XML and related technologies. Leigh is also a contributing editor to xmlhack.com, and has been writing the regular "XML-Deviant" column on XML.com since February 2000. He holds a bachelor's degree in biological science, and a master's in computing. When he's not wrestling with pointy brackets, Leigh can be found making silly noises with his son, Ethan.

Summary: This tutorial is the second in a series of tutorials on Apache Cocoon 2. It introduces XML Server Pages (XSP), the Cocoon technology for generating dynamic XML content. It is designed to build on the concepts described in the first tutorial, Introducing Cocoon 2, and will be of interest primarily to developers who have progressed beyond the basic features of Cocoon 2 and want to learn how to add dynamic data to their XML documents to create richer Web sites. The tutorial is also relevant for developers who need to integrate Cocoon 2 with existing data sources and/or APIs to publish their data in multiple formats over the Internet.
