I cleaned up everything and ran a series of tests. This is with 2.1m2. I shut everything down, made sure my classes were _only_ under:
c:\elrs\cocoon-2.1m2\build\webapp\WEB-INF\classes\<my.package.dirs\*.class Started up Jetty/Cocoon and then opened a new browser window. It worked! My member function got called from within javascript. So, not sure what my problem was yesterday. The only thing I can think is that I forgot to shutdown Jetty at some point while trying to get it working and wound up with something bad loaded in the cache/JVM. Since it's working now, one more question: When I pass something from javascript to Java, what's the data format? e.g. I have a structure in javascript that matches my form (the model). I pass this model into my Java class as an Object. How do I then access the members? Looking at the Form class code it appears as if the Object is a DOM tree that I need to access via xpath expressions using these three classes: import org.apache.commons.jxpath.JXPathContext; import org.apache.commons.jxpath.JXPathException; import org.apache.commons.jxpath.Pointer; Is this interpretation correct? Any easier ways to access it (although if it is a DOM, it does make it nicely generic. :) Thanks, Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Geoff Howard [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 9:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Calling Java classes from (JXForms) javascript - can you? how? > > Chris Clark wrote: > > I figured it out!
