See how to rapidly create an AJAX-powered Web application with multi-channel output (HTML, ATOM, PDF) based on solid Open Source components: With Jackrabbit as the content repository, Cocoon for output generation and the Dojo toolkit for AJAX magic in the user interface.

This hands-on talk will result in a basic sample application, utilizing Java, JavaScript and XSLT. Here are some more details on how the projects are going to be used:

Java Content Repository: Apache Jackrabbit is the content repository of choice for the sample application. It is an implementation of the JSR-170 (Java Content Repository) standard and serves as a flexible, queryable and versioned storage for structured content (XML documents and binary data).

Web Application Framework: The sample application will make use of Apache Cocoon 2.2, the flexible XML framework, for output generation. The new Cocoon Blocks framework makes customizing applications easy and allows for the integration of arbitrary Servlet applications as well as rapid controller development. Multi-channel output will be achieved with Cocoon Forms and Cocoon Flow.

Web GUI Framework: To assemble a fancy graphical user interface, we will include Cocoon's Forms frameworks which integrates tightly with the Dojo toolkit. This toolkit helps to create interactive AJAX-driven Web sites without heavy Javascript coding.
