Have a look at the forms block and the examples, below is just a generalized view of how things work.
This might be a big knowledge jump for you, but have a look how cleanly Cocoon handles this standard situation.
<map:match pattern="startforms"> <map:call function="public_startforms"> </map:match>
(then in flow)
public_startforms(){
var formbean = new Packages.my.form.bean();
//create the form
var form1 = new Form("form1Model.xml");
//and the binding
form1.createBinding("form1Binding.xml");
//display form
form1.showForm("show-form/form1");
//the form contents is stored in the bean
form1.save(formbean);
//after submit here //now show the second form
var form2 = new Form("form2Model.xml");
form2.createBinding("form2Binding.xml");
//load the bean values of the first form in the second one
form2.load(formbean);
form2.showForm("show-form/form2");
//after submit
.....
}

Can anyone tell me if the following is possible?
I have a web page containing two frames, outerFrame and innerFrame, both
have associated pipelines. Once outerFrame has loaded the innerFrame loads. outerFrame contains a form with a number of fields - what I need to do
is set variables as I pass through the pipeline for the outerFrame that
I can then pick up and use as I pass through the pipeline for the
innerFrame
Within my sitemap I would like to create a number of global variables -
I know this can be done very easily.
However I would like to be able to set the value of these variables in one pipeline and use them in another, something along the lines of:
<global-variables> <global_activity_key /> </global-variables>
<map:match pattern="outerFrame.html"> <map:act type="abc" />
<map:generate src="web/xsp/workflow-main.xsp" type="serverpages"
label="000" />
<map:transform src="............xsl"> <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
<!-- Add the action params -->
<map:parameter name="action" value="{action}"/>
<map:parameter name="global:global_activity_key" value="{activity_key}"/>
</map:transform>
<!-- Serialize as HTML -->
<map:serialize type="html" />
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="innerFrame.html"> <map:generate src="web/xsp/.....xsp" type="serverpages" label="000" />
<map:transform src="web/xsl/......xsl"> <map:parameter name="use-request-parameters" value="true"/>
<!-- Add the action params -->
<map:parameter name="action" value="{action}"/>
<map:parameter name="activity_key" value="{global:global_activity_key}"/>
</map:transform>
<!-- Serialize as HTML -->
<map:serialize type="html" />
</map:match>
Is this possible, or do I need to think of a different approach?
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
thanks
