Seems we are visited by an old friend - the "Think pull, not push"
discussion :-)
You can't call the pipelines for definition and display to save them for
later use. Or differently explained: You can't feed them to a pipeline.
But you can make a pipeline calling another pipeline which provides its
results. Completely baffled?
Well, in flowscript it looks like this (incomplete, though):
function myFormFlow () {
var form = new Form("my-definition-pipeline");
form.showForm("my-template-pipeline");
}
In your case this rewrites to:
function myFormFlow () {
var form = new Form("form_model-pipeline.xsp");
form.showForm("form_templateToXxml-pipeline.xsp");
}
Important:
- in these pipeline calls you may use any of the supported protocols
- cocoon.sendPage() sends a page to the browser
Hope I put you on the right track :-) Otherwise keep on asking (maybe
there's someone around here better in pedagogics ;-)
