Thanks Alonso. I have read userIdentity.xml and UserBean.java files from Cocoon Wizard sample. In UserBean.java, I have found a method called "initHobbies()". This method simply init all hobbies.
If I have well understood, I could replace the hard-coded values of allHobbies by a query to a database. isn't it? What would be the solution if I want to retrieve the allHobbies values from an external xml file? Is there an example?

I had a very similar problem a few days ago. The way to go is the itemset tag as used in the wizard demo. Take a look at the 'userIdentity.xml' file where the Hobbies get listed: <xf:selectMany ref="/hobby" selectUIType="checkbox"> <xf:caption>Hobbies</xf:caption> <xf:itemset nodeset="allHobbies"> <xf:caption ref="value"/> <xf:value ref="key"/> </xf:itemset> </xf:selectMany> All you have to do is to change the UIType to the one desired and fill the items with values taken from the DB, for example from the action. Hope it helps, Josema. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 3:56 PM Subject: XMLForm: dynamic content listbox > Hello, > > I'm using listbox in XMLForm (with tag <xf:selectOne selectUIType="listbox">).
