I can create a .war. How do I add it to C2? Do you mean I should distribute a .war instead of the current .zip and thus make the deployment easier? I've read the Contributions section on the web site and followed the instructions. Submitted a [patch] through Bugzilla and announced it on the list. I'm also expecting some feedback from the folks who worked on ExFormula and Chiba integration with Cocoon. > > I got feedback from Sam and Michael that the proposed > > implementation is not bad start and is worth extending, but I > > need more people from the core team to look at it, before I > > can continue with more advanced features. > > Hope, I'll have time to look at it a little later (maybe on the next release > ;) ). I guess I'll just move on with a complete wizard sample based on FormBinder and Schematron that will cover navigating and error handling issues.
