Hi Jason,
first off I have to say I appreciate the time you put into helping me
grasp these concepts, much appreciated.
No problem.
So how in flow do I add values to each of the widgets, (id, artistName,
etc etc etc), in the repeater, and then add that row to <ft:repeater-rows>?
Like I mentioned before, I think the easiest way to load data into the
repeater is with a fb:simple-repeater binding. I presume you're not
familiar with the binding framework; it's basically a way to define (in
an XML syntax) how to map values between a business object and the form
object's widgets. See the documentation:
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/binding.html
There's a special binding type called fb:simple-repeater (named such
since it's much simpler than the full fb:repeater binding, but should be
sufficient for your case) that lets you bind values from a Collection,
Array, or anything else that JXPath can iterate over, to and from a
fd:repeater widget and all its children. Something like:
In a binding file:
...
<fb:simple-repeater id="items" parent-path="." row-path="orderItems"
direction="load">
<fb:value id="id" path="ID" />
<fb:value id="artistName" path="..." />
...
</fb:simple-repeater>
...
In your flow:
form.createBinding("path/to/binding-file.xml"); //creates the binding
...
form.load(neworder); //loads the data into the form using the binding
That's it. You can call form.load() as many times in your flow as you
want, such as after you delete items or a new item is added. As long as
the orderItems list contains the up-to-date list of items, the repeater
will be updated to match.
