Chris.
Unfortunately, the fields are numbered like this:
input name=country1 .../
input name=city1 .../
input name=street1 .../
input name=country2 .../
input name=city2 .../
input name=street2 .../
to
input name=countryN .../
input name=cityN .../
input name=streetN .../
And one more thing:
I want to have in the sitemap a general entry for all validation actions,
somehting like:
map:match pattern=validate-*
!-- first validate whether submitted values are ok --
map:act type=form-validator
map:parameter name=descriptor
value=context://mysite/mydescriptors/{1}.xml/
map:parameter name=validate value= /
map:redirect-to uri=process-{1}.xsp/
/map:act
/map:match
Is there a wildcard for the validate parameter values ?

Sure, just have the same parameter names. You might even want to set
your descriptor as default descriptor.
Unfortunately, the fields are numbered like this:

input name=country2 .../
to
input name=countryN .../
If there is no chance of renaming those parameters to country, you
would indeed need to duplicate the entries in your descriptor, there
is no wildcard match operator. Perhaps you could distinguish the
different forms by a hidden value (or the value of the submit
button?), referer URL or target URL? You might still be able to use
the same pipeline in your sitemap.
And one more thing:
I want to have in the sitemap a general entry for all validation actions,

map:match pattern=validate-*
!-- first validate whether submitted values are ok --
map:act type=form-validator
map:parameter name=descriptor
value=context://mysite/mydescriptors/{1}.xml/
This is OK, {1} is replaced by the match from the pattern matcher.
map:parameter name=validate value= /
You could use {1} here as well, perhaps it would be cleaner to switch
to the newer set-based method. See docs, section Forms for this.
map:redirect-to uri=process-{1}.xsp/
This is no good, since AFAIK redirect is done by sending a redirect
message to the browser -- and the request parameters will be
lost. cocoon: protocoll might solve this (cocoon:/process-{1}.xsp,
don't know off head if this keeps parameter) or a redirect to a
ressource does (sure on this).
/map:act
/map:match
Is there a wildcard for the validate parameter values ?
No. But it would be nice to have one, since this way it could be used
to validate input for the database add action when multiple rows are
to be inserted. A patch would be welcome :-)
Chris.
