The above picture shows the interaction between DBPrism, Cocoon, the Server container and the Database. DBPrism is a Servlet engine that works in two different modes: as a standalone Servlet, or plugged into the Cocoon publishing framework. In the first mode, DBPrism works like the PLSQL Cartridge of Oracle Web Server or the newest mod_plsql. Plugged into the Cocoon framework , DBPrism works as a DB Generator, generating dynamic XML from a database. In the next two slides the architecture of DBPrism and Cocoon will showed in detail.
