Jason
Thanks for pointing out that I was trying to make use of
a missing feature!
My example, because I simplified things, was a bit misleading.
What I am trying to do in the form construction, is dynamically
pass in an array of values to act as the <fd:item> elements in
a multi-field array. If that can be done some in flowscript,
I would appreciate knowing how. At the moment, in the form
definition, I have:
<jx:forEach var="record" varStatus="status" items="${irecords}">
<fd:item value="${record}"><fd:label>${record}</fd:label></fd:item>
</jx:forEach>
where the "irecords" would be the array passed in from flowscript.
Could I use something like:
form.lookupWidget("records").setValue ( recordArray );
Any guidance here is appreciated.
Thanks
Derek
PS Where is the best place to find the documentation for the
form.lookupWidget, and other form.* functions? I have been using:
http://www.jdocs.com/cocoon/2.1.9/org/apache/cocoon/forms/formmodel/Widget.html
but its not clear from that if the setValue method can take an array?

Unfortunately the Form constructor does not allow a second argument like
this. I'm pretty sure there is a feature request for this in Jira but I
can't find it right now...

It looks like you just want to set the initial value of this widget
based on a value in your flowscript? If so, then that can easily be
done directly by the flowscript:
var form = new Form(...);
form.lookupWidget("message").value = "foob";
form.showForm(...);
> <fd:submit id="ok" action-command="ok" validate="true">
> <fd:label> OK </fd:label>
> </fd:submit>
> <fd:submit id="cancel" action-command="cancel" validate="false">
> <fd:label>Cancel</fd:label>
> </fd:submit>
>
> </fd:widgets>
> </fd:form>
