Just a comment:
See XML WebAccess 2.0 from www.mozquito.com
It may be interesting. I was wondering some time ago if a merge with
XMLForms from cocoon and that approach (I emphasize that I mean the
approach, not necessarily this specific implementation) of mozquito's to
have an intelligent client (with JavaScript).
If anyone had made already any simple example of this merge working please
let me know.
Best regards,
Dario.
PD: I have put both titles since they are strongly related.
In order to achieve the merge you need the textarea patch and Dom
representation of the form instead of javabeans ("helpful for quick & dirty
solutions" like this) and the ability to pass an XML fragment via HTML form.
