Re: passing a value into an XML form from somewhere else

[Ivelin Ivanov]

The name of the itemNo attribute has to have a / prefix: "/itemNo".

I will make a change in the Form impl to tolerate parameters without leading
/.


Send me the code of your action if this doesn't work.

Re: passing a value into an XML form from somewhere else

[Andrew C. Oliver]

I still don't think I'm explaining this correctly..   I want to get the 
value of an HTTPRequest parameter that called the XMLForm
but was *not* part of the XMLForm into the XMLForm or into the bean.

http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/action/postoffer.html?itemNo=3

So when I call that, I want the (not hidden now, but hopefully will be again) itemNo 
to be populated
with the 3.  From the form, how do I get itemNo into the model or the form, without 
making the calling
screen part of the XMLForm?

Re: passing a value into an XML form from somewhere else

[Mohamed El-Refaey]

Hi Andrew

I don't know If what I'll tell can help or not, but u can set the OfferBean
before populating the XMLForm by the value of the itemNo into the
OfferAction or in another Action that act when u press"Make Offer"
Link --->OfferBean.setItemNo(newItemNo) and it will automatically rendered
into the Form.
I wish it can help

Re: passing a value into an XML form from somewhere else

[Ivelin Ivanov]

I assume your cinclude transformer substitures the actual value.

This is what you could do:


  


Now after cinclude substitues the value, the XMLFormTransformer will not
(should not) use the value of the bean property, but the explicitly
specified value in the markup instead.

How is that?

Right, but how do I get the value into the hidden from OUTSIDE the 
xmlform pipeline?  meaning how do I pass a parameter into the 
xmlfrom-based pipeline and get it INTO the xmlfrom.  I made it textbox 
so I could see it was always 0 instead of 3.

Re: passing a value into an XML form from somewhere else

[Ivelin Ivanov]

Seems like you extended the framework to support xmlform-model ;)
This has been discussed before, maybe we should check it in.
Of course this is a little delicate, because the model can be a DOM node.

As to your question, why don't you use xf:hidden? See the most recent
XMLForm demo.

Re: passing a value into an XML form from somewhere else

[Andrew C. Oliver]

Sure.  

here is the offer action (which loads the form)


 
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   
   
 


here is the url which calls it

http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/action/postoffer.html?itemNo=3

Where the screen calling the form is not itself an XML form.  However it 
needs to pass a parameter to be stored
in a hidden field (or otherwise poke it into the OfferBean attached to 
the form).  

You can actually go here: 
http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/category/Antiques/3.html?category=Antiques

and see what I mean (click on Make An Offer)

I don't think so.  I need to pass the data into the pipeline from 
outside.  If I just pass the same parameter as a propery it
is not picking it up.  Or at least its not ending up in the form.

Re: passing a value into an XML form from somewhere else

[Ivelin Ivanov]

The name of the parameter has to represent the XPath to the bean property.
See the html source of an xmlform page to see how element names are
translated into widgets @name attributes.

Does this help?

[Fwd: Q: passing a value into an XML form from somewhere else]

[Andrew C. Oliver]

--- Begin Message ---

Hi All,

I've got a situation where I have multiple items on a dynamically 
generated page and I want to be able to allow the user to
click on a link and "post an offer" on them.  So for instance

on 
http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/category/Antiques/3.html 
I want to be able to have the user click
"make an offer"
http://www.superlinksoftware.com/cocoon/samples/bringmethis/action/postoffer.html?itemNo=3
which will pass to an XMLForm based action.

The problem is I need itemNo to end up in my OfferBean.java along with 
the user populated fields in the form.  How do I take
an http parameter and get it into the bean attached to an XMLForm?

Thanks,

Andy
