2009/08/18 - Apache AxKit has been retired.

Hi list!

I'm a newborn axkitten who are seeking a new home after having worked 
with Cocoon for three months and given up... They're not paying too 
much attention to documentation over there, and the implementation 
seems rather fragile. Basically, what I went there for was a strict 
separation of logic from the rest, and a decoupling of site URLs from 
the underlying file system of the server machine. It took me a long 
time to realize that Axkit puts a lot more into their XSP than Cocoon 
does, that's pretty much the reason why it took me so long to come 
over... :-)

Anyway, in Barrie's great tutorial on "XSP, Taglibs and Pipelines", he 
suggests that one should only use ESQL for small applications, and 
rather use DBI. I've googled around, but I haven't found anything that 
details this. So I wondered if you have any pointers for a little 
axkitten looking cutely at you from the basket...? :-)

Well, my applications isn't that big, but performance is an issue, 
because my server isn't a very big box... :-) 

Best,

Kjetil
