>The problem with the logicsheet is the missing validation. I didn't include it, but it could be done: a) by the FormValidator Action and the corresponding logicsheet b) doing JavaScript validation (just as you proposed in your first message)

In XML-Forms you have to write customary actions anyway to define the control flow between the form pages. That's a bit more work, but a lot more powerful, too. >I am a bit confused, Stefan, do you want to use Xindice to store the options? Do you consider Xindice >only as tool or do you want to use it? No, I don't want to use Xindice. I am using MySQL. I just found the tutorial an interesting read. What they are doing is use an XML-File instead of a JavaBean as datamodel in the XMLForm. The model is then populated from and written to a Xindice database. I was wondering whether it might be possible to do the same with a MySQL database, automatically generating the XML-model, using it as datastore and afterwards write its contents back to the database. >4) Thought: "DTD/Schema approach (in the spirit of DB2XML)" >Some time ago I found this tool http://www.informatik.fh-wiesbaden.de/~turau/DB2XML/index.html >DB2XML. The nice thing on it that the dtd will be generate "on the fly". Using that this could give us >the validation input. I admit it is quite similar to the Xindice approach. But the problem with Xindice is >(in my opinion) the validation of dynamic data. >The question remain whether DTD is enough or do we have to use schemas? I don't get this either, I am afraid. Please help, with examples if possible. Yesterday popped up another interesting thread on the list: Cocoon-based Database Administration. They make reference to some tools that provide persistence between Java objects and RDBMS. I've started to look into it. Hibernate looks easy to use and useful. This might be a way to use XMLForms using JavaBeans and then right the bean straight back to the database. I'll go on reading and will be back. Stefan ------------------------ AGAINST THE WAR!
