[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] XML publishing frameworks and software methodologies
 Dear Distinguished Colleagues: As I complete my masters, I am taking a course on software methodologies and I am arriving to conclusion that the traditional drawbacks of use-case driven development have little application to XML publishing frameworks, especially Cocoon. Here is why. The problem with use-case driven development is that very little focus is placed on the architecture of the application, forcing developers to deliver functionality and resulting in unmaintainable complex code. With Cocoon and XSL I found that most of the architecture is already provided by the framework itself, meaning that you can focus on the functionality. The problem of refactoring and reuse manifests itself in XSLT, though, but it is not nearly as complex to refactor XSLTs as it is to maintain reusable component-based Java code. Anyway, what do you think ? Given XML-pipeline frameworks such as Cocoon, can we focus on functionality and pay little attention to the architecture (assume that Cocoon does its job well), or is architecture still an important part of the methodology ? Regards, Oleg
