As a corollary we obtain a new proof of the boundedness of composition operators on H^2, and recover the standard upper bound for the norm. Similar arguments apply to weighted Bergman spaces. We also show that the positivity of a generalized de Branges-Rovnyak kernel is sufficient for the boundedness of a given composition operator on the standard functions spaces on the unit ball.9 pages, to appear in Proc.
