Hi Ian,
we do something like this in the flowscript:
function dataEdit()
{
var form = new Form("cocoon:/definition_data");
// we have a pipeline for definition_data
form.loadXML("cocoon:/bind_data");
// we have a pipeline for bind_data
do {
form.showForm("template_data");
// we have a pipeline for template_data
}
while (!form.isValid);
cocoon.sendPage("dummy.html");
}
sitemap snippet for bind_data:
<map:match pattern="bind_data">
<map:generate type="data_generator" />
<map:transform type="xslt"
src="stylesheets/form_binding.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="xml" mime-type="text/xml"/>
</map:match>
We have a generator that generates xml that we
transform to the simple xml binding we need.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Cassie
