I'm using the "wrapper" (I guess) in 2.1m2 which calls a Cocoon-supplied function that
in turn calls yours.
This is modeled on the JXForm sample from the scratchpad. My sitemap looks like:
<map:match pattern="doform-*">
<map:call function="jxForm">
<map:parameter name="function" value="{1}"/>
<map:parameter name="id" value="form-id-{1}"/>
<map:parameter name="validator-schema-ns"
value="http://www.ascc.net/xml/schematron"/>
<map:parameter name="validator-schema" value="form/rules-{1}.xml"/>
<map:parameter name="scope" value="request"/>
</map:call>
</map:match>
For the "request form" match. The "render form" pipeline with the two xslt's is the
same.
The function is slightly different in that it takes a "form" parameter and you have to
call form.setModel(<your data>). Instead of SendPageAndWait, you call sendView().
For example:
// Test flowscript for use with JXForms
cocoon.load("resource://org/apache/cocoon/components/jxforms/flow/jxForm.js");
function submit(form) {
var modelObj = {
title: "",
pages: "",
extra: "",
// define the group variable, will get a comma-delimited list of all checked
boxes within it
checks: [""], // default to unchecked
// define a nodeset (list of all checkboxes in a group
fieldset: [{key:"test1", value:"test1"}, // key=what to display, value=what
to store in var
{key:"test2", value:"test2"],
}
form.setModel(modelObj);
form.sendView("form/form-submit.xml");
form.finish("result");
}
Doesn't directly answer your question... But yes, the workflow is kind of long.
