Hi all,
I just committed an implementation of the CForms template language as JX macros. There already was some prototype version of this (written by Chris Oliver) which wasn't complete. This new version implements the full template language, including class, union, etc.
To use it, just add the following in your template (which should of course be processed by the JXTemplateGenerator):
<jx:import uri="resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/generation/jx-macros.xml"/>
You can then remove the forms transformer from you pipeline and use the additional JX variables provided by these macros:
- within a <ft:form-template>, the "form" variables points to the... form (eh!)
- within any <ft:*> element, the "widget" variable is the current widget idendified by the template element.
- within a <ft:repeater>, "widget" is the current row, "repeater" the enclosing repeater and "repeaterLoop" as JX status iterator (see jx:forEach) for the row loop.
I updated the "form1_template.xml" example (see the "contacts" repeater) to showcase some of the nice things it allows. More will come soon as I'm currently preparing my GT talk that will explain this in more details.
Enjoy, Sylvain
