Hi there. I have a page on which I want to have a number of forms, one for
each person. The forms will have forename, surname, etc... the usual fields.
However, I wont know how many person forms I want on the page until runtime.
At the moment it seems that I need to have a @Component on my page class for
each form like this...
@Component
private Form personForm;
And also a property for each form field...
@Property
@Validate("required")
private String surname;
If I add two person forms to my page, it looks like I will need to add extra
components to my page class code. But this won't work if I want to make the
number of forms on the page flexible as it will be hard coded wont it?
Is there no way that I can have many forms on the same TML template, with
the same name... and which ever one gets submitted, is the one that gets
processed by the page class?
If I could do this, all I need to do is add a hidded ID field to each form
to determine which user to update in the database. But this doesnt seem
possible. If I try to add 2 forms with the same t:id values in the TML file,
I get this error...
Exception assembling embedded component 'personForm' (of type
org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.Form, within MyPage): Component
MyPage already contains a child component with id 'personForm'
Here is my page class code...
public class MyPage {
@Component
private Form personForm;
@Property
@Validate("required")
private String forename;
@Property
@Validate("required")
private String surname;
@Property
private String personId; //Hidden form field to determine which person
to
update
Here is the TML that I am using...
<form name="personForm" id="personForm" t:id="personForm">
<p>
<input type="hidden" name="personid" id="personid"
t:id="personid" t:type="personid" t:value="//value set as person id" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="forename" class="label">Forename:</label>
<input type="text" name="forename" id="forename"
t:id="forename" t:type="TextField" t:value="forename" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="surname" class="label">Surname:</label>
<input type="text" name="surname" id="surname"
t:id="surname" t:type="TextField" t:value="surname" />
</p>
</form>
Any help or alternative suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers!!!
