Hi all, I need to build a system, which will include a lot of forms for the users to feed data into the system. The system should also have the possibility to search data using different kinds of search forms.
I read the how-to about the XMLForms, and I think it's a great way to do things. One thing I'm not quite clear about: What is the role of the beans? Do I have to write a bean for every single form in my system, or is there a way to hold the data in one bean? Or some session context perhaps? I mean, in this project, it should be possible for people who don't know Java to add forms easilly to the system, with validation instructions they can specify. Also, how do I dump the data collected to the database actions, or mailer action? This should also be possible: When user is selecting a value from a select list, and the value he/she is looking for isn't there, the same user could switch to another form, add a value (to db for example), and then switch back to the original form where the item he/she was looking for would now be available for select. Has anyone done this?
