Thanks Toby
I guess my question is even simpler then - where do you store those
forms? I've tried uploading .HTML forms to the repository:
curl -X PUT -d @createNewWidget.html
"http://admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8888/forms/widgets/createNewWidget.html"
When I request that path (/forms/widgets/createNewWidget.html), my
browser tries to download me the source rather than display the HTML. I
assume I need to add some kind of contentType attribute when I upload
the form, I'll look into that.
Also, how would I deploy a dynamic form (say, JSP-based), that might
configure it's display, default values etc differently based on request
params, cookies etc? Since JSPs in Sling appear to be either
precompiled with JSPC or compiled when requested as the the script
corresponding to a resource type, would it work to just put a JSP script
somewhere in the repo?

I have registered a couple of custom nodetypes with corresponding rendering
scripts html.jsp in the appropriate folder. Now I'd like to include a few
simple forms to create that node type (re-using as much existing
functionality as possible). What is the best way to do this?
I had a few ideas: (assume I have a nodetype test:Widget with a display
script /apps/test/Widget/html.jsp)
1) Create "form" nodes (/forms/Widget/create)
a) use sling:resourceType="form:Widget"
b) register a script /apps/form/Widget/html.jsp that generates an HTML
form (and uses the SlingPostServlet to create the content)
2) Create an "empty" Widget node (/content/Widget/new)
a) use jcr:primaryResourceType="test:Widget"
b) register a script with a "create" selector
apps/test/Widget/create.html.jsp that generates the HTML
form
you can simply use a form that posts to the node you want to create, eg:
<form action="/content/newnode" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="jcr:primaryType" value="test:Widget"/>
<input type="text" name="title" value="" />
<form>
I assume I could also register new servlets by paths, and then either
directly create content or somehow forward to the SlingPostServlet. In all
cases where I use the SlingPostServlet, what's the best way to handle
failures or errors?
you can either post to a hidden frame, and the read the response via
the DOM or use an AJAX post and read the response.
