What publishing frameworks (publishing only, NOT full-blown CMS) based on XML, XSLT sitemaps and pipelines exist, are stable, active, and simpler / lighter than Cocoon?
I have glanced at:
mod_xslt (http://www.mod-xslt2.com/) which seemed to be exactly that, but looks all but dead, and required a complex setup, and apparently supported only libxslt as an XSLT processor (I'd like to be able to use Saxon and XSLT 2.0 of course).
Apache Forrest (http://forrest.apache.org/), but I don't understand if it is really simpler than Cocoon or is rather an additionnal thing on top of Cocoon?
What I'm looking for is something that does just this:
- recieves an HTTP GET
- "runs it" through a sitemap
- finds a pipeline: source.xml -> xslt1.xsl -> xslt2.xsl -> xsltn.xsl -> serialize
- runs the pipeline
- serves the serialized result to the client
and:
- uses Saxon (or is "processor independant")
- can be installed "lightly", that is: should not require much more configuration than the sitemap
Maybe I'm describing an early version of Cocoon, or a future version of an XProc implementation...
Anyway, does such a tool exist?
