  3. Re:For content management or web-based application on Avalon Framework 4.0 Released · · Score: 2

    When people think serving XML I think content management is a common first though, but the Cocoon 2 platform can also be used for application delivery. I am working on a project doing thus right now. I think you will find that to do an application you will have to write more of your own code, but that is the beauty of having Cocoon 2 based upon Avalon. There are new application building blocks being added to the Cocoon 2 project every day though, there is currently work underway to create a generic forms interface.

    As for a relation to struts, afaik struts is a framework for building web-based applications specifically. Struts is based heavily upon JSP's, and most people use JSP's to deliver HTML. Some folk (me included) don't want to be tied so tightly to a display mechanism. (Yes, you can deliver XML with JSP's)

    OpenLDAP isn't bad at all. Dig up the nss_ldap module and you can store anything that NSS would use in a LDAP directory. LDAP is great!

  7. Buy CDs to support the artists! on MP3s Causing Decline in CD Sales? · · Score: 1

    I listen to techno/trance. The market for music is much smaller than the MTV market, so if I hear something I like, I make a point of buying the CD to support the artist, they need all the sales they can get. I think artists with a limited audience (techno and other smaller niches) can be hurt by people trading illegal MP3s as opposed to buying the CD. On the contrary, I doubt if Mariah Carey or other big-name crappy artists could really notice a difference if people pirate an MP3 rather than buying the CD because the market is so large.
