I sent an example recently.  Unfortunately I am a little snowed under at
the moment. I will get an example soon .. Promise

Take Care

Senhaji,

An easy way that I have achieved this is to generate an XML document
that has all the information (Java Bean properties + code, Form Elements
etc) then I created a number of XSL Documents that take the XML doc and
produce the JavaBean code, XMLForm.XSP, Validation Descriptor.XML etc.
Then all you need to do is change the layout of the XMLForm as
needed.. I use Ant to generate the files from the XML but you can
use a Cocoon pipleine to generate the files.

Hope this helps

Re: XMLForm UI Builder

[Scott Warren]

I would like to be able to send you the stuff but I cannot as it's all overly
complex for just an example (When I say complex I mean it uses a lot of my
own logicsheets).

The idea was basically to have 1 document (XML) and generate all the information
from that. I have attached a sample document (example.xmb). Using the style
sheet (databeans.xsl) you can create a .java file which can be compiled into
a Bean. If you included in the example.xmb the information needed to generate
a generic XMLForm and Validator then you would on your way.

Then all you need is an Ant Script with an action like this 




.. etc.

I hope this helps. I know the description is not very completed and the example
files don't all match up but hopfully you get the idea

Regards

Scott Warren

  Scott,

Would it be possible for you to send the related files to me to take a
look at?  This is very interesting to me, as I'm in a bit of a bind with
the XMLForms stuff I've been working on.

If it is company proprietary -- don't worry about it.  If you have some
generic stuffs I could take a look at, that would be great. :-)

thanks,
rob

[Senhaji]

Thank you guys. I'll get a look to the XYbrix tool.
Scott, your approach sounds good too. I'll appreciate a lot if you can drop
me your ANT generation script to save me time and money -)

I've been using XYbrix (http://www.jbrix.org/kits/xybrix/overview.html)
to edit xml files for some time and find it quite easy to use.
IIUC it uses xforms stuff to make the forms, and it's all GUI.
The license is apache compatible, so maybe it could help.
