RE: Access cform field labels from flowscript [SOLUTION]
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my late reply!
Your suggestion led me to an even better solution that actually works
beautiful with Cocoon 2.1.7:
On creation of the Form object you pass it an URI to a pipeline which
already runs the i18n-Transformer:
--- in sitemap.xmap ---
map:match pattern=get-form-definition/*
map:generate src=forms/{1}_model.xml/
map:transform type=i18n
map:parameter name=locale value=de/
/map:transform
map:serialize type=xml/
/map:match
--- in flow ---
var form = new Form(cocoon:/get-form-definition/...);
--- in JXTemplate ---
!-- Define macro for easier usage: --
jx:macro name=xmlize-widget-label
jx:parameter name=widget/
jx:set var=ignored value=${widget.generateLabel(cocoon.consumer)}/
/jx:macro
!-- Use somewhere in your page: --
xmlize-widget-label value=${widget}/
--- End of samples ---
This way you get both, i18n of labels and easy (and hopefully fast) access
to widget labels.
It allows us to write a generic solution which dynamically creates a summary
page and the mail content, without having to write summary page and mail
creation with heavily duplicated code and data.
The tricky part on the solution was to get the knowledge, that
cocoon.consumer is the content handler of the currently displayed jxtemplate
page which can be directly passed to any method, needing a content handler.
At least I did find nothing both on the Flowscript nor on the JXTemplate
documentation.
I placed a comment on the following page, since I can not edit it directly:
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/documentation/745/511.html
Cheers,
Andreas

Subject: RE: Access cform field labels from flowscript
Since you want an overview of the filled form, why not do
something like:
1) call a pipeline from flow with params holding the
widgetids:widgetvalues
2) generates a cocoon:/pipeline with the jx generator (see
the cocoon:/pipeline below)
3) You now have an xml block having the translated labels and
the corresponding widgetvalues
The cocoon:/pipeline could look like below
1) generates the form definition
2) do your i18n transformer
3) Do an xsl outputting something like
field
labeltranslated text/label
postedfield${username}/postedfield
field
Think this is all (though, admit it is quite dirty :-) )

Hi,
We have the following use case and I would like to know, if
there is a
recommended solution for this:
We are developing a generic form framework based on cform
which should
roughly use the following workflow:
1. Display input forms until successfully validated (can be
single-page as
well as multip-page froms)
2. Display a summary page with all the entered information to
be confirmed
by the user
3. Process data as follows:
- Store entered data in database
- Send mail to an employee who works with the form data
- Send mail to user with summary of entered data
4. Display a summary page with all entered information,
success status and
print option
Now we are using the following snippet to specify the
18n-able labels in the
form definition:
fd:field id=username
fd:labeli18n:text key=forms.username//fd:label
fd:datatype base=string/
/fd:field
Forms are correctly displayed and validated and everything
for the 1st step
is fine.
But for the steps 2-4 I'm using flowscript and JXTemplates to
display the
summary page and plain flowscript to generate the mail content.
How can I access the field lables from within flowscript, so
that I can
generate a generic mail message in the following format:
Label of field1: Value of field1
Label of field2: Value of field2
... where the labels are correctly translated?
There are two challenges:
1. How to get at the label definition from within flowscript?
Here I'm missing a getLabel() method in the WidgetDefinition
interface.
The only thing I found was generateDisplayData() and
generateLabel() but
they deal with SAX events.
2. How to translate the labels within flowscript?
If I managed the 1st challange I will only get the i18n:text
element with
the key.
Since there is no i18n-Transformer involved in generating the
mail content,
I have to translate it manually.
Is it possible to reuse the configured catalogs of the
i18n-transformer from
flow and let it translate strings?
Additionally I'd like to hear about other solutions which
might do the same
(I thought about generating the mails via pipelines with
i18n-transformer
included - but I'm unsure, if this is the way to go).
Thanks for any hints,
Andreas Hochsteger

Apache AJP, SSL and Cocoon
Hi, I have a website which consists of a http and a https(ssl) part. In the future i'll have a Apache webserver in front of the cocoon server. At the moment HTTPS is only used for logging in to the website. The HTTP part (running on Cocoon) contains a login form which posts its data to a servlet listening on a HTTPS port. After the userdata is validated the user is redirected back to the HTTP site. Now i want to add other functionality to the HTTPS part (like users being able to change settings). And cocoon funtionality is likely to move more towards the HTTPS part. And i wondered: Is it possible to connect to only one cocoon instance from both the HTTP and HTTPS port on the apache webserver via AJP (and in this way prevent that we have to maintain two sourcetrees)?

sourcewriting-transformer
hello everyone. I have the following problem. I want data entered in a form to be written to one and the same file in a way that each time the form has been filled, a new element with the widget-elements of the form as childs is added to a file. for example I have this file: ?xml ...? entry firstchild/ secondchild/ /entry now after the form has been filled I want the data from the form to be inside another entry/-tag in the file. right now I use the saveDocument()-function from a sample-flowscript. how do I get the data from this file into the first one? I see that I need to use a source-writing transformer on the first file, but getting the required tags into the file that contains the form data is where I fail right now. I don't see how, really. does anybody know? greetings, christian - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cocoon 2.1.8 default install kills tomcat on latest tomcat + latest jdk
Sorry if this isn't news I've been off the lists for a bit and my searching suggests this is a new issue Cocoon 2.1.8 default build won't deploy on apache-tomcat-5.5.12 + jdk1.5.0_06 (the latest stable releases of each). When I restart tomcat it starts but won't serve anything (including tomcats samples) so the problem is fairly major. The same Tomcat + jdk combination will however deploy my legacy cocoon 2.1.2 webapp and work properly. If I rebuild cocoon 2.1.8 with a fairly minimal local.block.properties which exludes most things, I can get it to deploy properly so one of the block is at fault, my money is on xindice. Below is the output of Catalina.out for the non working cocoon install, it stops at the last line, the cocoon log in WEB-XML doesn't have anything informative. I have installed the endorsed stuff where it should go in tomcat.

CForms + Flowscript + AJAX
Dear List, We have a CHS (Cocoon-Hibernate-Spring) application that uses a binary tree implemented as an AJAX component. Since porting this app to Cocoon (it was previously implemented using Spring MVC), we have been experiencing difficulties with the tree. Specifically, the app doesn't respond to user interaction with the tree until Cocoon has completed processing the current request. In researching this issue, I ran across the following from Sylvain Wallez in the Cocoon-Users archive: Execution of a flowscript is synchronized on the global variable scope, which is bound to the session. Although this shouldn't be a problem in real world as a single user is not very likely to send parallel requests, you should verify that your load testing engine uses different sessions (or no session at all) for the simulated concurrent users. That may explain these numbers. At this point, I'm trying to evaluate my options, which as I see it are: 1) Refactor flow control to use JavaFlow instead of flowscript (this is assuming that JavaFlow isn't subject to the same synchronization as flowscript) 2) Refactor the app to minimize the use of flow control 3) Host the AJAX component under a seperate servlet Can someone tell me if JavaFlow suffers from the same synchronization issues as flowscript? Also any recommendations for alternate approaches would be welcome. Thanks, Ian It's better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not Ian D.

Re: CForms + Flowscript + AJAX
The main page of our webapp consists of the tree on one side and a scorecard type table on the other. The tree represents a hierarchical display of the departments within the firm. The user navigates through the tree to get to the department they are interested in, then clicks on the department name to display the report for that department. We had originally planned to load the entire tree at the time that the page is loaded, but the sheer scope of the data involved makes this impractical. Instead, we load only the top-level departments and use AJAX to add on nodes as they are needed. We are currently running into two problems with flowscript: 1) The user is unable to navigate through the tree until the current report has finished loading. Depending on the department the report is being generated for, this can be quite time consuming 2) When adding nodes to the tree, the nodes are added synchronously, increasing the perceived time required to add all of the nodes, thereby defeating the Asynchronous nature of AJAX. At this stage we are using flowscript to access the domain objects used by the web app (both by the tree and by the report), and this seems to be the main bottleneck. I take it that JavaFlow operates under the same synchronization scheme as flowscript? If so, then I'm thinking the best approach would be to re-implement the webapp so that it avoids the use of flowscript/JavaFlow.

Binding selection boxes to beans in cocoon forms.

I wonder if you can help me bind selection boxes to beans.
(other properties on this very same form are binding just fine)
Code snippets and exception for my attempt are shown below.
I've searched the list archives and web without luck for solutions. The cocoon
samples (car,
country selectors are for XML binding and did not help much on the bean binding
side).

web-application distribution
So I've created a cocoon web-application and want to distribute it to a non-developer type (the user) for use by localhost only. I want this to be as easy as possible for the user to install. Any recommendations? Here are some of my ideas: 1) Put the files that I have created (i.e. sitemap, XSLT and js) in a directory on a CD and give this to the user. Then have the user download and build cocoon, and reference the sitemap mount-table.xml 2) Put the cocoon/build/webapp/WEB-INF, cocoon/tools/jetty, cocoon/legal directories and mount-table.xml onto a CD. Is there other stuff that would need to be included? Thanks for your help. CL - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
