cocoon woody/flow question

[Joakim Verona]

Hello list,

I'm trying to build a very simple woody/flow example, and have a 
question on how the woody/flow interaction works.

1) If I look at the "guess a number game" in the cocoon wiki, it doesn't 
use woody forms, just flow, and is pretty straightforward.

2) If I look at the woody/flow sample it uses the woody js function to 
start up the form. That starts up a form, loops it until it validates, 
and then shows an answer page. Pretty straightforward too.

Now, in my own exampe, I would like to jump between several different 
forms with the flow function.
I cant then initialize the forms with the woody function. Some wiki 
examples indicate that this isnt necessary either,
and I cant find the actual purpose of it either.

So I have tried making a woody form this way, and it behaves oddly:

A) If I use a "<input type=submit>" tag directly in the template, 
validation works, but it never leaves the validation loop.
The same form is just iterated all the time.

B) If I use a wd:submit tag (with validation=true) the validation loop 
isnt done, but its possible to see the value of the validation parameter:

cocoon.load("resource://org/apache/cocoon/woody/flow/javascript/woody2.js");

the little flow function looks like below.

function makereport() {
   var form = new Form("forms/form1.xml");
   print("before showform"); 
   form.showForm("form1-display-pipeline");
   print("after showform");   //never gets here in case A
  //gets here immediately regardless of validation in case B
   var model = form.getModel();
   if (form.isValid) {
   print("d1=" + model.startdate); 
   print("d2=" + model.enddate); 
   } else {
   print("Form is not valid");
   }
   cocoon.sendPageAndWait("ok.html");
}

How is this supposed to be done? Must each form be initialized with the 
woody function?
Doesn't this limit the possibilities of the flowscript to use only one form?
Have I missed something?

(please reply also to me if possible)
Regards,
Joakim
