Re: [Catalyst] SOAP WSDL client
Hi, If you're trying to access a soap web service from within your catalyst app I suggest you take a look at Daniel Ruoso's Catalyst::Model::SOAP here : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Model-SOAP/lib/Catalyst/Model/SOAP.pm It features an example.

[Catalyst] Browser Detection?
I'm supposing that there must be something in the request object that lets me know if I'm serving to particular browsers, in particular to whatever version of IE.

uri_for returns a URI object, so you can always
my $uri = $c-uri_for_action(...);
$uri-fragment('id');
# Use $uri
Or, since you know that what it generates *doesn't* have a fragment you could
always just $c-uri_for_action(...) . '#id' which will be perfectly valid
(although no longer a URI object).

I considered that a hack until I knew better, since it won't work if there are query
arguments.
This worked:
[% IF c.action != 'index' ;
SET toplink = c.uri_for_action('/index') ;
CALL toplink.fragment('galleries') %]
lia href=[%toplink%]Gallery Index/a/li
[% END %]
though I'd certainly be interested in hearing how I could do it better.

So after the form is submitted, you want to save the form contents

it to the database?
Yes. What I did previously was just to save a hash of the values, but
I'm not sure how to pass that to formhandler given that my db
constraints currently require the values for this form to have a
creator_id, which is just what I need from the login. So, I'm thinking
at this point that I need to find a way to pass a hash of form values
back to formhandler..that's got to be possible, and must be done after I
get the form submission or I'll have to loosen up the constraints on my
db to allow me to insert rows without a creator ID. I'm looking into
that now.
Is the part you're not sure of how/where to save the form contents?
There are the usual options for preserving data across several
requests, i.e. stash, database, etc.
I've been stashing a hash of form params. I have to test this out, but
I have to figure out if I can validate the form without the creator_id's
being present. I added it to the form, because formhandler was barfing
when I used the simple form of stashing the new_result({}), then
returning $self-form($c) in my add(). I have to figure out how to
validate the form wtihout having it submitted to teh db, because that
causes an error when the creator_id is missing, or add the creator_id
(hidden and empty) to the form and only validate after login. I guess I
just have to try a few things. If any of you good folks have banged
your head against this and have ideas, they'd certainly be welcome.
Then you'd have to decide how you want to save the data. You *could*
use FormHandler to do that, but if you have an already validated set
of data, it might be simpler to just save it to the database yourself.
May be. Probably, since I'm trying to wrest control from formhandler so
I can validate a form without the creator_id, then redirect to login,
then take the values of the form and the logged-in user's id and commit
that to the db. One change that is causing me problems is that I moved
from the approach of having the form be a simple attribute (has 'form')
where I was doing all the processing in the show and add methods to the
approach where I implemented $self-form() per the sample referenced in
HTML::FormHandler::Manual::Catalyst.
Thinking through this in writing this, I believe that what I have to do
is reimplement the form as a simple attribute and then handle the
process() as needed in the add() method. I think that's where I shot
myself in the foot.
Thank you muchly. I'll post my successful results for the benefit of
those who follow.

Re: [Catalyst] Best form library?
From: Victor Churchill victorchurch...@gmail.com Speaking here as a novice with the same questions as the OP: I like the functionality of HTML::FormFu as deployed in the tutorial example but also find the YAML a bit strange at first; I am, too, a I have used HTML::FormFu a lot, but I have never used YAML because I also don't like YAML. HTML::FormFu can accept the forms to be created with any config type supported by Config::Any, like the Apache-style config format (Config::General), INI files, JSON, YAML or even a simple Perl hash. I prefer to use the Apache style configuration. The configuration style has nothing to do with HTML::FormFu. In my opinion HTML::FormFu is better than HTML::FormHandler because it doesn't require writing as much Perl code, and it better separates the Perl code and the HTML code.
