Hi, Im new to Cocoon ,and im using Cocoon 2.1.10,Spring ORM,Hibernate.Till now i've been using static files(CForms template,definition,binding) togenerate the pages. Now I need to create the fields based upon a data file(XML file). I've parsed the XML file and i've the field names in a List. How to do the above scernario?? Anyone please help to solve this problem.
The Cocoon Way™ :-) to solve this would be to take a step back and use XLST and Cocoon's own pipeline machinery to generate the CForms artifacts for you. So, you don't have to parse the XML document yourself... instead, what you do is:
1) Create XSLT stylesheets to transform your XML source document into the definition, binding and template documents
2) Create Cocoon pipeline(s) to process the XML source document through the stylesheets you created in step (1)
3) Change the other bits that use the CForms artifacts to get them by invoking your pipelines from step (2) (using the "cocoon://" URI scheme).
People do this all the time. There's not all that much to it. Note that there is no actual "file" created for the CForms artifacts using this approach... it's just streams.
Just out of curiosity, where are you getting the XML source document that you want to create the CForms artifacts from? Is this a static file, or are you generating it dynamically as well?
