Thanks to the tireless efforts of open-source developers, Cocoon
has quickly gained visibility as the preeminent XML-based Web
publishing framework. Unfortunately, its documentation remains a
significant shortcoming. If you're new to Cocoon, gaining a sense
of exactly what you can do with it can be difficult, and actually
getting started can be even harder.

Cocoon 2 Programming: Web Publishing with XML and Java clearly
explains the value of Cocoon and helps you build on your
familiarity with XML and Java Servlets as you design, build, and
implement a range of Cocoon applications. You'll begin by learning
to control presentation for various platforms, both wired and
wireless. Then you'll move on to Cocoon's capabilities for logic
control and content management, using both sitemaps and XSP to
create a site dynamically generated from a variety of data sources
and types.

As you'll see, Cocoon also supports powerful organizing techniques
known as design patterns, and you'll master their use in both
presentation and content generation. These are essential tools for
the planning of your site; for after it's implemented, you'll
command powerful techniques for site management and
optimization.

The Web's dependence on XML is growing rapidly--and with it the
list of companies that have adopted Cocoon. Is Cocoon for you?
Cocoon 2 Programming will guide you through your decision and far
beyond, providing all the assistance you need to build a dynamic,
XML-based site--and keep moving into the future.
