Support for Alan's suggestion of a model in XML format.... I'm pretty certain that JXPath can be used with a DOM object so it should be possible for XMLForms to support both JBs and XML as the model.
Personally, I really like the idea of being able to create and manipulate the model without having to drop into Java. For many simple forms, its seems like complete overkill having to write beans. Irrespective of what I think, there's a strong argument for having an XML model: new Cocoon users and non-Java programmers will be able to take advantage of XML Forms. Cheers Simon PS. I'm still pretty new to Cocoon and so, despite having looked at the source for XML Forms, I would not be surprised to find that its already possible. If it is, I'd love to know how! PPS. Thanks to Ivelin for the new itemset tag. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Simon Price Institute for Learning and Research Technology University of Bristol 8-10 Berkeley Square Bristol BS8 1HH United Kingdom Direct: +44 (0)7071 226 720 Office: +44 (0)117 928 7193 Fax: +44 (0)117 928 7112 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ilrt.bristol.ac.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]>
