Hello,

I have two questions regarding the foreign key handling in dbforms:

Precondition: I generated a dbforms-config.xml using the devgui-Application.
The db makes massiv use of foreign key relation ship and I want to create
forms (jsp's) which reflect this as good as possible (using drop-down-boxes
or links):

First question:
--------------------

I tried to implement a read-only form (jsp) which display the content of a
table. The foreign key relationsship of some column should be visualized by
an html-link. The user could click on the link and the detail content of the
row in the foreign table of this column should be displayed in a new jsp.
Unfortunatly this does not work. I got a error:
"Make sure that field DESIGNINFOOBJID is a KEY of the table
CA_REPORTSTATICINFO! Otherwise you can not use it as PARENT/CHILD LINK
argument!" 

But: The field DESIGNINFOOBJID IS already declared in dbform-config.xml as
<field name="DESIGNINFOOBJID" fieldType="number" size="22" isKey="true"/>. 

Any idea how to solve this problem?


Second question:
-------------------------

I am using the XSL-Stylesheets to generate jsp`s for each table (this is a
great feature!). It works well except one feature regarding the foreign key
support: As in the user manual described there should exist some xsl-code
which can create automaticlly a drop-down-box for each foreign key
relationship defined in the dbforms-config.xml. But in the normal
distribution package no one of the xsl-files includes any code to handle
foreign keys .

Has anyone a xsl-template (sample)  which enable me to create such
drop-down-boxes automaticly using the devgui-generation process?


Any help is welcome!


Thanx in advance...

Gunter
