There isn't any conflict with webware actions and the fecomponent
actions, fecomponent actions look like this:

def someaction(self, fields):
   pass

I don't know if I can merge it with the webware actions and still be a
plug-in component.

If you can list all the actions up front, you should be able to using the actions() method of the component itself (which is added to the servlet's actions()).


Is there a default action?  For instance, when the user hits Enter
without hitting a button, no submit button will be triggered.  Is the
first action listed in actionList the default?


Sorry, I doesn't documented it yet, I will do it tomorrow, the actions
should use like this:

I don't think this is what I meant. If you have an action.ok and an action.cancel, I believe when you hit Enter in the form (instead of clicking a button) that neither of these fields will show up in the request fields -- in that case, one of the actions should be considered clicked by default.

It looks like processForm() calls on*Click.  So the flow typically goes:

def writeHTML(self):
    self.processForm() --> calls on*Click if form is submitted and valid
    do stuff to write the form

then in sleepEvent parseDocument loads the page that was written and
rewrites the form with htmlfill.


You doesn't need to use self.processForm (unless a special case), the
processForm is called automatically in the sleepEvent by the
parseDocument.

the special case is if you want to output some data from the
on*Clicked, this way you may call processForm when you want your
method called (like in FunFormKit).

To me it would make more sense if processForm was called on awake or respond -- sleep seems much too late in the cycle. Hrm... I don't think there's a way to call an event just *after* the servlet's awake is processed (in Wareweb I added this), but that's where I think it belongs. Maybe cpage should be extended to add another event.

But anyway, it looks pretty easy to use, and I like parseDocument is
very output-neutral.


Yes, I use it with zptkit, but you can use another component
compatible template system or you can write direct from scratch, I use
a variant of fecomponent with cheetah, but it is a servlet while there
isn't a way to use components with cheetah.

Yeah, that's too bad. I'd really like if there was a Cheetah component -- I don't think it would be hard to write, and would look very similar to ZPTKit.zptcomponent.

I can't remember if I ever set you up with svn access for
FormEncode?  This could also go in svn.w4py.org.


Where do you prefer?
Sorry about anything I done wrong, the fecomponent make use of
validator package, I didn't have time to update it, I will update it
tomorrow...

Maybe svn.w4py.org is better; colorstudy.com has been having problems. If you want to send me a username and password (offlist ;), or a line for htpasswd, I can add you.
