Has anyone given thought to binding a Woody form to a Xindice document?
I'm starting to develop an app, and I'd like to explore various binding methods. Xindice seems like it would be useful for this sort of thing.
I can only agree. And Vadim has been very active on XIndice - it has been improving a lot recently, with Vadim releasing 1.1B3 just after Xmas.
As I understand Woody's binding, Woody binds to DOM. Xindice can return DOM documents, so it is eminently possible. But, you'd need to use your own Java to access your XIndice instance.
Better though would be to improve the XMLDBSource to implement ModifiableSource. That way, you can bind to it both ways, which would be really neat.
Hmmm. Actually, Tony, I think you might have helped me with one of my own sites. If I can use Woody binding to bind to a modifiable XMLDBSource, I don't need to write any of my own Java, which would be cool. I think I'll have a go at making XMLDBSource modifiable. (For now, you'll only be able to bind to a document, not to a document fragment).
I presume binding to a modifiable source is straight-forward?
