fwiw, i have some code lying around that will create a skeleton lenya
module with a form editor from a given (simple) rng grammar.
I was also thinking about generating a new module in 1.4.
But up to know, I could only generate a xslt out of the schema. This
xslt on the other hand generates a input field for all elements in an
xml-file.
i generate all needed files from the schema in one pass. most stuff is
boilerplate code, but you always have all the schema information
available, so each file can be customized as you like.
two problems are keeping me from releasing it:
* it got broken due to some recent svn changes, and i haven't had the
time to fix it.
* it is implemented in xsl 2.0 and would require to add the saxon-8
jar to lenya. i would like to use it everywhere instead of the old
trax one, but again i have not found the time to work on it.
i think we should eventually try to create something like that for
lenya. the cforms editor is a nice example, but the downside of cforms
is that you need to modify so many different files, and most of it is
boilerplate stuff, so it would be nice to automate it.
if you're interested, i can upload it somewhere, but as i said, it's
not in working order, although the foundation is usable i think.
I am very much interested in your work. Can you pack and send it by mail
or maybe better adding an "enhancment" bug in the bugzilla and attach
the file.
it's here:
http://pol-serv1.politik.uni-duisburg-essen.de/~nettings/rng2cforms/
http://pol-serv1.politik.uni-duisburg-essen.de/~nettings/rng2cforms-0.0.1.tar.gz
start with reading rng2cforms.xsl, it's the main stylesheet that
includes all the others. iirc there is a comment on how to invoke it.
note that it only supports simple, russian-doll-style grammars atm - no
refs, no defines.
the package includes michael kay's saxon 8 for convenience, so i'm not
putting it on an apache server atm, since there will probably be
licensing issues.
before anyone asks: it is absolutely impossible to do that kind of stuff
in xstl1.0, so unless the xalan folk get up to speed, this will have to
be out-of-tree...
best,
jörn
