ORB/JDO and XMLForms
Hi there,
I'm a new user of cocoon and I'm trying to get the form part of cocoon
setup. I've got XMLForms working, now I would like some way of automatically
putting the info into a database. I'm exploring a method used in O'Reilly's
Struts book that uses an ORM with the form javabean. Just wondering has
anybody got Apache's ORB with JDO working with Cocoon? (thought I might go
with JDO since it seems to be an emerging standard) Or maybe I should make a
custom javabean or action that automatically transfers the values to the db.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

right at the moment you could write the database access stuff in the
Action derived by AbstractXMLFormAction ...
in a project I am doing with XMLForm, I use an interface, FormLifecycle,
and an interface FormLifecycleListener. FormLifecycleListeners listens
for the following lifecycle events:
starting( ... )
completing( ... )
completed( ... )
abort( ... )
starting is called to denote that the form is starting, e.g. the data
model gets created.
completing is caleld to denote that the form is in completing mode ( the
listener can do a veto here)
completed is called to denote that the form is completed ( veto not
possible ).
abort is called when there is a non-normal abort has hapened.
whith this lifecycle listener there is a decomposition between the
business logic and the xml form action.
