Yes, I know I was trying to be the more simplistic to allow see all the mountain without going into the details. There are many details to be solved. This is what I am trying to do. :) > Fortunately, this is where's Marc's > binding stuff comes to help, which allows to do this by specifying a > mapping between the two (in an XML file). Cool! Yes, I was thinking in this. There must be some kind of mapping or a encapsulation of the bean, since there are some other data not related to the real object. For example, error messages from the database or from the bussiness logic to be showed, error messages from the form, query values from the user to search find a list or a particular object, etc. There must be a interface to allow pass all this stuff to the form.... All in all, I think together we can build a great database driven web applications framework into Cocoon! This will be a killer app. I promise you :) Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo
