Sure.
here is the offer action (which loads the form)
<map:match pattern="action/postoffer.html">
<map:act type="OfferAction">
<map:parameter name="xmlform-id" value="offer-form"/>
<map:parameter name="xmlform-scope" value="session"/>
<map:parameter name="xmlform-model" value="OfferBean"/>
<map:generate src="content/form/{page}.xml"/>
<map:transform type="cinclude"/>
<map:transform type="xmlform" label="xml"/>
<map:transform src="stylesheets/form2html.xsl"/>
<map:transform src="context://stylesheets/xmlform/xmlform2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:act>
</map:match>
here is the url which calls it
http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/action/postoffer.html?itemNo=3
Where the screen calling the form is not itself an XML form. However it
needs to pass a parameter to be stored
in a hidden field (or otherwise poke it into the OfferBean attached to
the form).
You can actually go here:
http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/category/Antiques/3.html?category=Antiques
and see what I mean (click on Make An Offer)
