The Spring Configurator and the Servlet Service Framework are two subprojects having Spring as main dependency. It's important to note that both can be reused outside of Cocoon Core. <br /> The <a href="../subprojects/configuration/index.html">Spring Configurator</a> provides basic support for configuring web applications that make use of Spring. The <a href="../subprojects/servlet-service/servlet-service-impl/index.html">Servlet Service Framework</a> enables modularization based on the <tt>javax.servlet.Servlet</tt> interface. Those servlet services are <a class="externalLink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorphism_in_object-oriented_programming">polymorphic</a>. </p> <p> <a href="../2.2/core-modules/1210_1_1.html">Cocoon Core</a> provides implementations of a sitemap engine and of pipelines. It also establishes a contract to add modules. The unit of modularization in Cocoon is called blocks. <a href="../2.2/blocks/1204_1_1.html">This list</a> gives an overview of what additional functionality is available. Web applications based on Cocoon are also developed following the block contracts. </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!-- end of content --> <div id="footer"> <p>Copyright © 1999-2012 The Apache Software Foundation All Rights Reserved.</p> <p> Apache Cocoon, Apache, the Apache feather logo, and the Apache Cocoon project logos are trademarks of The Apache Software Foundation.
