Hi all, I'm trying to make all the forms on www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/ support a "modify" mode. In order to do that I need to let the user enter his name and password, submit, and then retrieve the rest of the data and populate it into the next page's form. I've been trying to do this by putting a call to getForm().setValue("/street","123 cherry tree lane") in the call to public Map perform(); but that doesn't seem to be working. Nor does ((UserBean)getForm().getModel()).setStreet("123 cherry tree lane").
So how do I populate data in the next form during the process of the previous? Thank you kindly, -Andy Relevant excerpts: /** * Invoked after form population * * Semanticly similar to Struts Action.perform() * * Take appropriate action based on the command * */ public Map perform () { // get the actual model which this Form encapsulates // and apply additional buziness logic to the model UserBean jBean = (UserBean) getForm().getModel(); //jBean.incrementCount(); // set the page control flow parameter // according to the validation result if ( getCommand().equals( CMD_NEXT ) && getForm().getViolations () != null ) { // errors, back to the same page return page( getFormView() ); } else { // validation passed // continue with control flow // clear validation left overs in case the user // did not press the Next button getForm().clearViolations(); // get the user submitted command (through a submit button) String command = getCommand(); // get the form view which was submitted String formView = getFormView(); if ( formView.equals ( VIEW_BUYERREG ) ) { if ( command.equals( CMD_NEXT ) && isModify() == false ) { return page( VIEW_CONFIRM ); } else if (command.equals( CMD_NEXT ) ) { UserBean bean = (UserBean) getForm().getModel(); if ( loadBuyerReg(bean) ) { Map page = page(VIEW_BUYERREG); page.put("/email","[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); return page; } else { return page(VIEW_MODIFY); } } } // apply control flow rules if ( formView.equals ( VIEW_CONFIRM ) ) { if ( command.equals( CMD_NEXT ) ) { try {registerUser(jBean);} catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); return page( VIEW_FAILED ); } return page( VIEW_THANKS ); } } } // should never reach this statement return page( VIEW_BUYERREG ); } private boolean loadBuyerReg(UserBean userbean) { Form form = getForm(); userbean.setUserName("BlaBla"); form.setValue("/userName","blabla"); userbean.setEmail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); form.setValue("/email","[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); form.save ( getObjectModel(), getFormScope() ); userbean.setStreet("123 bla"); userbean.setState("FL"); userbean.setZip("13456"); return true; } --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
