Ok, guys, here we go...
Except the validation and the resulting error
handling the _basic_ XForm stuff is almost complete.
I've set up a simple Example. Please take a look...
Here is the current ToDo list for the XForm stuff:
* removing the PostRegistry [done]
I've replaced the PostRegistry by a cached
descriptor. All necessary information are
grabbed via XPath and put into a cache.
* validation [open]
I've prepare the XFormAction for validation.
All information should be available. But
we still need a consensus here.
Will a "validate" attribute really be sufficient.
How do we connect error reporting then?
* error reporting [open]
This goes hand in hand with the validation.
Where do we define errors and do we really put
the occured errors into the XForm instance?
* xform model support [open]
* selectMany [Konstantin?]
We need to expand the DOMObject interface
to be able to set multiple selected choices.
Question: has anyone an idea how a selectMany
looks like in the instance data? I must have
missed this one...
* xform can cascade - http forms not [christian?]
Right now the example defines http forms
via tag. This is not what the idea is behind
xform. We need to find a way to dynamically
create the http forms from the xml if possible.
This one is tricky!
* some elements are missing [me]
Up to now we have only the most basic http
controls available. We need to add:
- range
- secret
- uploadMedia
- button
- reset
- submit
* input/output mapper [me]
Although prepare for such mappings the
mapping needs to be implemented for
basic use cases:
- xform
- bean
- classes in general
- maybe even databases?
Well, since this stuff is getting bigger and bigger
it would be really nice to find a CVS for that.
I'd prefer the cocoon dev tree but I am also fine with
exformular or somewhere else - what do you guys think?
Don't want to bother you all with my attachments ;)
Thanks
