Paloose Description

Cocoon without Java Paloose is a simplified version of the Apache Cocoon software, using PHP5. It resulted from scratching a long standing personal itch: that there are very few ISPs who will support Java/Tomcat for web sites, other than as a very expensive "professional" addition. Almost all will support PHP5 (sorry, Paloose does not use PHP4) and so I decided to write my version of a simple, cut-down Cocoon in PHP5.Developer commentsI wanted to use XML on my personal sites but could not use Cocoon because of the expense. I have been using Paloose for some time now and have always found it a good substitute for Cocoon in all but the most complex sites. Paloose may also encourage others to start using XML and XSL without having to use extra bits such as Tomcat, Jetty or a full Cocoon installation.Please note that the technology underlying Paloose does not make it suitable for very large sites. If you need performance then upgrade to Cocoon — the extra expense will probably be unnoticable in the overall cost of a large site anyway. However, having the ability to try out XML and XSL ideas in a PHP environment with a subset of Cocoon is very useful. Here are some key features of "Paloose": Generators: · Aggregation · Simple XML file generator · Directory listing generator · XML Template file generator · Preliminary support for Tidy generator (eg Word documents) · GedCom generator Transformers: · XSL transforms · Logging Transformer · Support for multi-language through i18n · XML Write to external file (SourceWriting) · Password Encoding Transformer · Page-hit Transformer · Picture Gallery Transformer Serializers: · HTML serializer · XHTML serializer · XML serializer · Text serializer Actions: · SendMail action · Authentication actions (supporting login and restricted pages) Selectors: · Browser Selector · Request Parameter Selector Forms: · Paloose Forms (based on JX forms) · Flowscripts and continuations · Entry checking · Internal-only pipelines · Wildcard and regular expression pattern matchers · Redirection · Simple Resource readers · Subsitemaps · Views · Error handling · Sitemap variables and pseudo-protocols · Request parameters Requirements: · PHP · Apache What's New in This Release: · Cured bug in GedComGenerator that prevented cache file being accessed correctly.
