May I ask what's your specific use case for this?
In theory you could. Here is what I think it would involve: Either write a new set of widget definition builders (currently somewhat hard, but will be much easier soon, if/when I get time to work on the framework some more :), Or use some XSLT, etc. to transform the XSD into a proper format to act as a widget definition file, probably referencing it via the "cocoon:/" protocol. I know someone else who has taken this route successfully for a very specific XSD. The current set of widgets (including class/new/struct/union) should work fine as-is for this application, but FYI they are being redesigned to be more flexible and easier to understand and use. Please feel free to comment on the old and/or new designs (or even implement the new designs if you like them and have time and interest before I can get to them :) Current dynamic widget set documentation (for Cocoon version 2.1.4): http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=TimLarson New, proposed (not yet implemented) dynamic widget set design docs: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=WoodyScratchpad Comment on the list or edit either wiki page as you wish to add comments or alternate designs. --Tim Larson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
