I still don't think I'm explaining this correctly.. I want to get the value of an HTTPRequest parameter that called the XMLForm but was *not* part of the XMLForm into the XMLForm or into the bean.
http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/action/postoffer.html?itemNo=3 So when I call that, I want the (not hidden now, but hopefully will be again) itemNo to be populated with the 3. From the form, how do I get itemNo into the model or the form, without making the calling screen part of the XMLForm? -Andy Ivelin Ivanov wrote: >I assume your cinclude transformer substitures the actual value. > >This is what you could do: > ><xf:hidden ref="myprop"> > <xf:value><ci:include link="..."></xf:value> ></xf:hidden> > >Now after cinclude substitues the value, the XMLFormTransformer will not >(should not) use the value of the bean property, but the explicitly >specified value in the markup instead. > >How is that? > > > > >>Ivelin Ivanov wrote: >> >> >> >>>Seems like you extended the framework to support xmlform-model ;) >>>This has been discussed before, maybe we should check it in. >>> >>> >>> >>I didn't do it...
