MySQL date conversion with modular database action
Any pointers on how to convert a date before it's inserted into MySQL database while using cocoon's Modular Database Action? I tried value name="start_date"type="date" mode name="attribute" parameter="org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.DateMetaInputModule:start_date[0]" type="attrib"//value It seems this "mode" parameter is being ignored. Any suggestions? Thank you!

From: Robert Sösemann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hy, in our project (CMS) we want to easily generate input fields in a wizard-like interface. It is later used by authors to put different types of articles into a database. As different types of articles have other information needs, we want to provide the user with form field that represent that needs of the specific article. So we need a mechanism to generate steps of our wizard (namely page with form fields) from centralized information (great would be the db) As this XMLWizard mechanism is only available from a cocoon beta, we are not allowed to use it. Can you imagine an alternative way to solve this? You can simply use the XMLForm's syntax for form representation and use a custom action to generate the next step for you. To customize the forms you can either use XSP or a special transformer.

Re: extending XMLForms for different kinds of models...opinions?
This sounds good. As you suggest the java: prefix can be used for instantiating JavaBeans. For all other cases though, I was hoping to reuse the standard SourceResolver. This will immediately allow support for a lot of different sources. Here is a snippet from the Sitemap document. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/concepts/sitemap.html (I wish there was one discussing just SourceResolvers.) a.. Use http://foo/bar to merge in xml content via http protocol, received from machine foo. a.. Use context://servlet-context-path/foo/bar to merge in xml content from the servlet context. a.. Use cocoon:/current-sitmap-pipeline/foo/bar to merge in xml content from the current sitemap. The appropriate pipeline is selected matching current-sitemap-pipeline. a.. Use cocoon://root-sitmap-pipeline/foo/bar to merge in xml content from the root sitemap. The appropriate pipeline is selected matching root-sitemap-pipeline. a.. Use resource://class-path-context/foo/bar to merge in xml content from the classpath. a.. Use jar:http://www.foo.com/bar/jar.jar!/foo/bar to merge in xml content coming from a jar via http connection. a.. Use file:///foo/bar to merge in xml content from the filesystem. a.. Use xmldb:your driver here://your.xmldb.host/db/foo/bar to merge in xml content from a XML:DB compliant database. a..

Dear all, I need your suggestions and opinions in extending the current XMLForm model approach. If you use XMLForm or are thinking about using it soon, I'd suggest youy to read this message and send some feedback to the list. Some days ago, and with some ideas I exchanged with Ivelin, I made a how-to that should help users on using XMLForm with Xindice for storing XML models. It is at Wiki (http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=XMLFormXindice) and made its way into the CVS a few days ago. In this how-to I explored new ways of storing the form model. This new way the XML model is stored in a file in the system with an empty structure. Then it is loaded into a JXPath Container and manipulated from there. The getFormModel() is overriden so you don't need a Bean, but just the file. Ivelin thought this could be a great addition to the framework, so we were discussing how to make this available for the end user. We exchanged some ideas and they led us to incorporating some mechanism to the sitemap. We were thinking about a prefix. This way, passing the model parameter to the form would be like this: map:parameter name=xmlform-model value=java:MyBean/ The 'java:' prefix would be used for java models. If you would like to use the pure XML model approach you could do something like: map:parameter name=xmlform-model value=xml:MyDocument/ Of course, one of the approaches could be made the default one so this could make life easier for most used models declaring them implicit: map:parameter name=xmlform-model value=MyModel/ I hope I explained it clearly. Now I need your feedback. I'd like to know if this make sense to you and if so, we should decide which of the two approaches should be the implicit one, so the AbstractXMLFormAction would be modified accordingly. Maybe some of you would prefer to see it implemented but having the java models as the implicit ones, so you won't need to change your working xmlforms in order to use it in the future 2.1. If you feel that way, please say so.

Re: extending XMLForms for different kinds of models...opinions?
Ivelin, That sounds very very good. I was not sure about all the possibilities when using the SourceResolver. If all of that can be accomplished using the SourceResolver, it's more powerful than I expected and we should take the java: as the only way for Javabeans. But... Since I started with Cocoon, one of the features I don't like is this kind of abruptly changes. If we go for the prefix way, forms currently working should be coded again (at least their sitemap snippets). I think the best solution would be: - Go with the java: prefix for beans - Any other prefix - solved by the SourceResolver - Implicitly assume java, so no prefix means model bean (only by now) At a later stage (maybe for 2.1beta), we could change it so the java models should be called only explicitly and all of the other resources would be solved by the SourceResolver. This way, the transition would be easier to accomplish for users with working xmlforms. Ivelin, I think we talked about something like this? Hope all of you like this approach. I'd like to go ahead and try to patch the AbstractXMLFormAction.
