About Cocoon
Cocoon is a web publishing framework that renders XML data into a number of
formats including HTML, WML, PDF, and the like. These formats are based on
a set of properties provided by an XSL stylesheet.
All BES product offerings include the Cocoon servlet pre-installed in the
Borland web container. The web.xml file contains specifications for the Cocoon
servlet, which is pre-configured to point to the cocoon properties file in the WEB-
INF directory of the context under which Cocoon is invoked. However, you can
change this specification to point to another location. Additionally, the web.xml
file includes a mapping for "*.xml" directing any such file to be processed by
Cocoon. This mapping can be modified or deleted.
