Hello Bruno,
I do not really understand what you mean. What do you mean by
just call a pipeline (i.e. use cocoon:/ in the
src attribute) that starts with an XSP.
I just want to display by default a value from my database for a field
in my form (example phone number), how can I do ?
Thanks for your answer.

Hello,
Please find hereafter a quick description of my environment :
- xReporter v121
- Cocoon v213
- Phoenix v404
- Tomcat v4124
- Java v14 SDK (IBM)
- Postgresql v732
I am using Woody to build forms and I would like to retrieve information
from my database to populate default field values.
In the documentation, the form_definition file is an xml document
containing links to other xml files in which simple default values can
be retrieved. In the example below, the values displayed in the
selection list are retrieved from the a-choices xml document.
<wd:field id="fourchars">
<wd:label>Select something that's 4 characters long:</wd:label>
<wd:datatype base="string"/>
<wd:validation>
<wd:length exact='2*2'/>
</wd:validation>
<wd:selection-list src=""/>
</wd:field>
Is it possible to create the form_definition file as a xsp document to
be able to include in it esql tags ?
yes, but I would not recommend it (unless the structure of your form
itself is dynamic). If you want to generate a selection list based on
database data using ESQL, just call a pipeline (i.e. use cocoon:/ in the
src attribute) that starts with an XSP.
