Hi Bart,
Ok so to create the form definition xml the jx generator uses the following
xml file:
I pass it an array object (questionRegistry.getAllQuestions()) that contains
a list of all the questions to be created in the form
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fd:form xmlns:fd="http://apache.org/cocoon/forms/1.0#definition";
xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1";
xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0";>
<fd:widgets>
<jx:forEach var="question" items="${questions}">
<jx:choose>
<jx:when test="${question.responseType == 'multivalue-field'}">
<fd:multivaluefield id='${question.ID}' required='${question.required}'
state='${question.state}'>
<fd:label> ${question.label} </fd:label>
<fd:help>${question.help}</fd:help>
<fd:hint>${question.hint}</fd:hint>
<fd:datatype base="long"></fd:datatype>
<fd:selection-list>
<jx:forEach var="response" items="${question.responses}">
<fd:item value='${response.ID}'>
<fd:label>${response.label}</fd:label>
</fd:item>
</jx:forEach>
</fd:selection-list>
</fd:multivaluefield>
</jx:when>
<jx:when test="${question.responseType == 'checkbox'}">
<fd:booleanfield id='${question.ID}' required='${question.required}'
state='${question.state}'>
<fd:label> ${question.label} </fd:label>
<fd:help>${question.help}</fd:help>
<fd:hint>${question.hint}</fd:hint>
</fd:booleanfield>
</jx:when>
<jx:otherwise>
<fd:field id='${question.ID}' required='${question.required}' state='${
question.state}'>
<fd:label> ${question.label} ${question.responseType} </fd:label>
<fd:help>${question.help}</fd:help>
<fd:hint>${question.hint}</fd:hint>
...
</fd:field>
</jx:otherwise>
</jx:choose>
</jx:forEach>
</fd:widgets>
</fd:form>
the jx generator then outputs the serialized xml to the browser, where the
xml is in correct cForm syntax... it's similar for the form template also...
I now want to do use both serialized xml and feed it back into a pipeline
entry so i can view the generated form as a HTML form...
I hope this made my problem clearer..
Thanks heaps

Dear Rashel,
Could you give an example/snippet of one of these .xml files ?
