Ok, it works as expected in 2.1.3 without calling the woody function!

The form object is passed to your makereport function from the woody2.js
this is due to the lines:
<map:call function="woody">
   <map:parameter name="function" value="makereport"/>
   <!--using the following element for its form definition-->
  <map:parameter name="form-definition" value="forms/form1.xml"/>
</map:call>
Therefore your function definition would look like this
function makereport(form) {
       print("before showform");
       form.showForm("form1-display-pipeline");
       ...

Subject: cocoon woody/flow question

 

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
