Why using CForms at all ? If you use XSLT you can transform dynamic
XML data into HTML5 native forms templates.

Yep,
sounds like a lot of work and like re-inventing the wheel..

Hi Francesco,
let me tell you what I have now.
I implemented a feedback web application for municipial use
with C2.11. The app is built so that the administrator can
create forms picking fields and controls he/she needs. These
setting are saved into db. The end-user app reads these
settings from db, creates XML definition and through XSL
transforms these settings into valid Cforms definition/template
and finally creates forms wanted out of this all.
This is highly dynamic system where we also implemented special
data model where horizontal tables are converted into vertical
direction, that is, there is one row per fom field, not a column.
I was warned about using C2.11 for this, but I wanted to use it
anyway because I was familiar with it already. Now I would like
to get rid of C2.11 but I really don't know how. I would like
to switch into C3 but that is something I am not familiar with.
I could go with the stream and use AJAX and like jQuery.. still
i would have the same problem - how to create controls out of
XML definition. So XML driven form platform is something I
would prefer, you see, I would only need XSLT.
I hope I made my needs little clearer.
Yes, definitely.

*Basically, you need to dynamically build some web forms from an
XML definition you get from an external source: let me say that
this is a perfect suite for C2.1 (and C2.2) with CForms.
Now, since you want to move away from C2.1 (and not for C2.2 I
guess), you'd like to have some tools that, parsing the XML form
definition generates a Wicket form, with all controls full featured.
While this is perfectly feasible without C3 (I did something
similar, even though limited, in Apache Syncope), I'd think you
could empower the integration between C3 and Wicket for this
purpose. Only, consider that there is nothing implemented yet in
this respect, so you would be the first.
Regards.

Hi,

XML through XSL.
Can this be done with C3 and wickets?
From somewhere I read about the fact that with Apache Wickets
you don't need any XML..
Hi Mika,
what do you want to achieve exactly?
Apache Wicket is a component-based framework for developing
web applications: I know from their project site that the
project claims "a refreshing lack of XML", and I also know
that Wicket fully supports form processing.
From the other side, Cocoon 3.0 features Wicket integration
(more details at [1]) that can help achieving some particular
use cases.
Regards.
