April 13, 2000

BroadVision, Inc.
585 Broadway
Redwood City, CA 94063

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for BroadVision, Inc. (the "Company" or "BroadVision"),
in connection with the merger (the "Merger") and other transactions contemplated
by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of
January 26, 2000, by and among BroadVision, Infiniti Acquisition Sub, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of BroadVision ("Merger
Sub"), and Interleaf, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("Interleaf"). This
opinion is being furnished in connection with a Registration Statement on Form
S-4 (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") covering the offer and sale of up to 2,608,343 shares of
common stock (the "Shares"), to be issued in connection with the merger of
Merger Sub with and into Interleaf.

In rendering this opinion, we have examined the following documents (i) the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended and restated since
the inception of the Company; (ii) the minutes of the Board of Directors'
meeting convened on January 25, 2000; (iii) the Registration Statement; and (iv)
such other documents, legal opinions, precedents, corporate and other records of
the Company, and certificates of public officials and officers of the Company
that we have deemed necessary or appropriate to provide the basis for the below
opinion.

We are of the opinion that the Shares, which are being offered and sold by the
Company pursuant to the Registration Statement, when sold in the manner and for
the consideration contemplated by the Registration Statement, will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading "Legal Matters."

Very truly yours,

COOLEY GODWARD LLP

delivered to us by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company containing certain
representations of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (the "Tax Representation
Letters"); and

       (d)    such other instruments and documents related to the formation,
organization and operation of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and related to
the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement as we have deemed necessary or appropriate.

In connection with rendering this opinion, we have assumed (without any
independent investigation or review thereof) that:

<PAGE>

       (a)    Original documents submitted to us (including signatures thereto)
are authentic, documents submitted to us as copies conform to the original
documents, and that all such documents have been (or will be by the Effective
Time) duly and validly executed and delivered where due execution and delivery
are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof;

       (b)    All representations, warranties and statements made or agreed to
by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, their managements, employees, officers,
directors and stockholders in connection with the Merger, including, but not
limited to, those set forth in the Reorganization Agreement (including the
exhibits thereto) and the Tax Representation Letters are true and accurate at
all relevant times;

       (c)    All covenants contained in the Reorganization Agreement (including
exhibits thereto) and the Tax Representation Letters are performed without
waiver or breach of any material provision thereof;

       (d)    The Merger will be reported by Parent and the Company on their
respective federal income tax returns in a manner consistent with the opinion
set forth below; and

       (e)    Any representation or statement made "to the best of knowledge" or
similarly qualified is correct without such qualification.

Based on our examination of the foregoing items and subject to the
limitations, qualifications, assumptions and caveats set forth herein, we are
of the opinion that, for federal income tax purposes, the discussion
contained in the Initial Registration Statement entitled "Certain United
States Federal Income Tax Considerations," which discussion is incorporated
by reference in the Rule 462(b) Filing, although it does not purport to
summarize all possible United States federal income tax consequences
applicable to the Merger, does constitute, in all material respects, a fair
and accurate summary of the United States federal income tax consequences
generally applicable to a shareholder of Company common stock who
participates in the Merger.

This opinion does not address the various state, local or foreign tax
consequences that may result from the Merger or the other transactions
contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement. In addition, no opinion is
expressed as to any federal income tax consequence of the Merger or the other
transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement except as specifically
set forth herein, and this opinion may not be relied upon except with respect to
the consequences specifically discussed herein. No opinion is expressed as to
the federal income tax treatment that may be relevant to a particular investor
in light of personal circumstances or to certain types of

<PAGE>

investors subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws (for
example, financial institutions, insurance companies, foreign individuals and
entities, tax-exempt entities, dealers in securities, persons who are subject to
the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, persons who acquired their
shares of Company capital stock pursuant to the exercise of an employee option
(or otherwise as compensation), persons whose shares of Company capital stock
are qualified small business stock for purposes of Section 1202 of the Code, or
persons who acquired Company capital stock as part of an integrated investment,
such as a "hedge," "straddle," or other risk reduction transaction, composed of
Company capital stock and one or more other positions).

No opinion is expressed as to any transaction other than the Merger as described
in the Reorganization Agreement, or as to any transaction whatsoever, including
the Merger, if all of the transactions described in the Reorganization Agreement
are not consummated in accordance with the terms of the Reorganization Agreement
and without waiver of any material provision thereof. To the extent that any of
the representations, warranties, statements and assumptions material to our
opinion and upon which we have relied are not accurate and complete in all
material respects at all relevant times, our opinion would be adversely affected
and should not be relied upon.

This opinion only represents our best judgment as to the federal income tax
consequences of the Merger and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or
any court of law, tribunal, administrative agency or other governmental body.
The conclusions are based on the Code, existing judicial decisions,
administrative regulations and published rulings. No assurance can be given that
future legislative, judicial or administrative changes or interpretations would
not adversely affect the accuracy of the conclusions stated herein.
Nevertheless, by rendering this opinion, we undertake no responsibility to
advise you of any new developments in the application or interpretation of the
federal income tax laws.

This opinion is being delivered solely in connection with the filing of the
Rule 462(b) Filing. It is intended for the benefit of Parent and may not be
relied upon or utilized for any other purpose or by any other person and may not
be made available to any other person without our prior written consent.

                  Re: Registration Statement of Interleaf, Inc.
                      PURSUANT TO RULE 462(b)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  We have acted as counsel to Interleaf, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation ("INTERLEAF"), in connection with the preparation
of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) (the
"RULE 462(b) FILING") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"SECURITIES ACT"), and the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No.
333-31756) (the "ORIGINAL REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and, together with the Rule
462(b) Filing, the "REGISTRATION STATEMENTS") filed by BroadVision, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("BROADVISION"), with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "COMMISSION") under the Securities Act, on April 13, 2000 and
March 6, 2000, respectively, with respect to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated January 26, 2000 (the "MERGER AGREEMENT"), among BroadVision,
Infiniti Acquisition Sub, a Massachusetts corporation and a wholly- owned
subsidiary of BroadVision ("INFINITI"), and Interleaf, and the merger (the
"MERGER") contemplated thereby.  All capitalized terms used herein, unless
otherwise specified, shall have the same meanings as set forth in the
Registration Statements.

                  In connection with our opinion, we have reviewed originals
or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the
Merger Agreement, the Registration Statements and such other documents,
certificates and records as we

<PAGE>
Interleaf, Inc.

Page 2


have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth
below.  We have assumed that the Merger will be consummated in accordance
with the Merger Agreement, the Registration Statements and such other
documents, certificates and records and that statements as to factual matters
contained therein are true, correct and complete and will continue to be
true, correct and complete through the Effective Time of the Merger.  In
rendering our opinion, we have also relied upon statements and
representations of officers and other representatives of BroadVision,
Infiniti and Interleaf and have assumed that such statements and
representations are true without regard to any qualification as to knowledge
or belief and will continue to be true without regard to any qualification as
to knowledge or belief through the Effective Time of the Merger.

                  For purposes of our opinion, we have assumed the legal
capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed
or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter
documents.  We have also assumed that the Merger will qualify as a statutory
merger under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

                  In rendering our opinion, we have relied upon the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations, judicial decisions,
published positions of the Internal Revenue Service and such other
authorities as we have considered relevant, all as in effect as of the date
of this opinion and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or
change at any time (possibly with retroactive effect).  A change in the
authorities upon which our opinion is based could affect our conclusions.

                  Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the
opinion that although the discussion set forth in the Original Registration
Statement under the heading "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,"
which discussion is incorporated by reference in the Rule 462(b) Filing, does
not purport to summarize all possible United States federal income tax
consequences applicable to the Merger, such discussion constitutes, in all
material respects, a fair and accurate summary of the United States federal
income tax consequences generally applicable to a stockholder of Interleaf
common stock who participates in the Merger.

                  We express no opinion as to United States federal income tax

consequences other than as set forth above or as to any state, local or
foreign tax consequences.  This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof,
and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of changes of the facts stated
or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in applicable law.

                  We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit
8.2 to the Rule 462(b) Filing.  We also consent to the use of our name as set
forth in the Original Registration Statement under the heading "Legal
Matters," which is incorporated by reference in the Rule 462(b) Filing.  In
giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category
of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act,
or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.


                                    Very truly yours,
