I have been working with Cocoon + CForms for a while now,
but now have to deal with some more complex processing
requirements. I had thought this would be a simple matter,
but alas not...
Issue 1. I have heavily customized stylesheets that I use for
form display. Going back to the default stylesheets is problematic.
Issue 2. Locating the resources? This message:
http://marc.info/?l=xml-cocoon-users&m=111323898129449&w=2
(and others) refer to the WEB-INF/classes/org/..../forms/resources directory.
This I simply cannot find. I have "WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/cocoon/forms"
but no resources directory in sight.
I have tried to copy & use the various files directly from the Cocoon
installation files... but to no avail.
In the end, I have tried to create a small test app, based on the car
selector sample, with details as shown below.
Although the form displays just fine, it does not exhibit any of the
dynamic behavior of the original sample. Comparison of the source code
of the two web pages shows them to be the same!
What (probably obvious) element/s am I missing?
Thanks
Derek
<!-- CAR SELECTOR FILES AND SETUP -->
I have the following directory/files:
flow/forms_flow_example.js
This file is stripped down to:
cocoon.load("resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/flow/javascript/Form.js");
function selectCar() {
var form = new Form("cocoon:/carselector_form");
form.lookupWidget("make").setValue(cocoon.parameters.defaultMake);
form.showForm("carselector-display-pipeline.jx");
cocoon.request.setAttribute("carselectorform", form.getWidget());
cocoon.sendPage("carselector-success-pipeline.xsp", {make:
form.lookupWidget("make").value, type: form.lookupWidget("type").value,
model: form.lookupWidget("model").value}
);
}
resources/cforms.js
resources/cocoon-ajax.js
resources/forms-lib.js
resources/forms.css
resources/jx-macros.xml
stylesheets/forms/forms-advanced-field-styling.xsl
The above sheet I have altered as follows:
<xsl:import href="forms-field-styling.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="forms-calendar-styling.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="forms-htmlarea-styling.xsl"/>
<!--
<xsl:template match="head" mode="forms-field">
<xsl:apply-imports/>
<script src="{$resources-uri}/forms/mattkruse-lib/AnchorPosition.js"
type="text/javascript"/>
<script src="{$resources-uri}/forms/mattkruse-lib/PopupWindow.js"
type="text/javascript"/>
<script src="{$resources-uri}/forms/mattkruse-lib/OptionTransfer.js"
type="text/javascript"/>
<script src="{$resources-uri}/forms/mattkruse-lib/selectbox.js"
type="text/javascript"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="forms-calendar"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="forms-htmlarea"/>
</xsl:template>
-->
stylesheets/forms/forms-field-styling.xsl
In this above sheet I have altered the scripts to point directly at
the files in the same app. ie.
<xsl:template match="head" mode="forms-field">
<script src="../../resources/forms-lib.js" type="text/javascript"/>
<script src="../../resources/cocoon-ajax.js" type="text/javascript"/>
<script src="../../resources/cforms.js" type="text/javascript"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../../resources/forms.css"/>
</xsl:template>
stylesheets/forms/forms-page-styling.xsl
stylesheets/forms/forms-samples-styling.xsl
In this aboove sheet I have altered the includes to point directly at
the other files in the same directory ie.
<xsl:include href="forms-page-styling.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="forms-advanced-field-styling.xsl"/>
stylesheets/doc/simple-page2html.xsl
tables/carselector_form.xml
tables/carselector_template.xml
tables/carselector_success_jx.xml
forms/car-db.xml
forms/carfilter.xsl
Finally, the sitemap has entries here:
<map:transformers default="xslt">
<map:transformer name="browser-update"
src="org.apache.cocoon.ajax.BrowserUpdateTransformer"/>
and here:
<map:selectors default="browser">
<map:selector name="ajax-request"
src="org.apache.cocoon.ajax.AjaxRequestSelector"/>
and finally, at the top of the <map:pipelines><map:pipeline> :
