REST article next I have been looking into and reading up on REST lately (originally coined here) and will be writing an article for a German magazine on the subject. Keeps me busy :-).

Oracle 9i Release 2 - the Cocoon killer? Just (which is a contradiction in terms - after the long wait) installed Oracle 9i Release 2 and dived through the XML specific documentation. According to what I have seen up to now there is a lot of Cocoon 1 type architecture in there. Apart from supporting XSLT and SVG they also provide FOP for PDF generation. I have no idea yet whether it works as advertised - but could this be the first real commercial competition for Cocoon? Given how widespread Oracle is.
