Hi Florian
I dynamically create the form definition and template by calling 2 seperate
flowscript functions:
function create_form_def(){
cocoon.sendPage("form_model-pipeline.xsp" ,
{questions: questionRegistry.getAllQuestions()});
}
function create_form_template(){
cocoon.sendPage("form_templateToXml-pipeline.xsp");
}
both functions refer to the same pipeline entry:
<map:match pattern="*-pipeline.xsp">
<map:generate type="jx" src="forms/{1}.xml"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
the jx generator creates both the xml form definition and template
correctly. I now want to take the generated definition and template and feed
it back into the cocoon pipeline so that I may view the generated form.
I've been looking at two options:
1. saving the serialized xml output from my generator as a file and using
that file and the default generator to start the pipeline: I have been
looking at the source Writing Transformer (is that a good option? is there
another way to save )
2. or rather than saving the serialized xml into physical space, to somehow
dynamically feed both serialized xml from the generator (the definition and
template) into a new pipeline entry to display the cocoon form...
those are the 2 thoughts i have atm, but i'm having problems implementing,
I'm not sure if i'm on the right track..
Hopefully i explained my problem well enough... Thanks alot for your help

Do you mean the form definition?

I propose calling it form_model-pipeline.jx rather than .xsp 'cause
that's different.

You need two things: A definition and a template. The definition
declares the available fields and its types. The template is used for
the arrangement and display of these fields.

Please have a look at
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/basics/index.html
I think (I hope ;-) this helps understanding the concepts. And then feel
free to ask again.

In short: You may use every cocoon protocol (context:, cocoon:, file:,
http:, ...) as xml input and therefore any pipeline, even those creating
content dynamically.

I hope, this helped :-)
