Ok, so I'll try to do it with a pipeline. This rises some additional questions :-).

Write a generator to get the XML Metadata, no problem.

Write a stylesheet that transforms the metadata to a form defintion should be no problem, too.

But I am not sure, what my pipeline should be, I assume it should be something like the following snippet, but I have no clue how to mix my generator with the form_action_Template generator from the sample...

<map:match patter="myform">
<!-- this will get the metadata from the dblayer and throw it into the pipeline -->
<map:generate type="DBLayerMetadataGenerator">
<map:parameter name="TableName" value="contracts" />
</map:generate>


   <!-- now to the transformation to a form definition -->
   <map:transfrom src="some_cool_stylesheet.xsl" />

<!-- now i have a form def in the pipeline and would like to call something like the form1_template_action.xml, that does some grouping to my formdef
| in the example this is done by a generator, which won't work for me, because I have the generator aboth
-->
<map:generate src="form1_template_action.xml" />


   <!-- then the forms transformator is called -->
   <map:transfrom type="forms" label="content1" />

   <!-- and now some i18n, layouting and serializing... no problem here -->
</map:match>

I hope I was able to explain my problem :-).

Thank you,
tom
