Hello,
I have just noticed that XMLForms has been removed from Cocoon. May I ask why? From 2.1.4 I got the impression that there is a real effort to include a XForms (or close to) implementation in Cocoon. But obviously, XForms is no longer considered to be of interest. For us, this is rather unfortunate, so, if possible, I'd like to know why it has been dropped.
There were several reasons. The most important ones are:
* lack of community support - it was no community effort * we decided to focus on a single forms framework (former woody)
IIRC also some security issues popped up. Besides trying to implement a client side spec on the server side has always been questionable.
...that's why we deprecated XMLForms a while ago and moved on.
Please have a look into "forms" block. You will find a pretty mature form handling implementation that's been used and well supported by the cocoon community.
You won't burn your hands again if you go for it.
Hope I summarized this correctly, folks?
cheers -- Torsten
