Cocoon forms issue

Hi,
I am in the process of changing my html forms to use CFORMS and was 
reading the documentation on the subject at:

http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/forms/sample.html

In the document there is no mention of:

1. What the definition file is called. (definition.xml??????)

I have declared a cform definition file in:
	mysite/definition.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<fd:form
	xmlns:fd="http://apache.org/cocoon/forms/1.0#definition"
	xmlns:i18n="http://apache.org/cocoon/i18n/2.1"
 >

   <fd:widgets>
     <fd:field id="name" required="true">
       <fd:label>Name:</fd:label>
       <fd:datatype base="string"/>
       <fd:validation>
         <fd:length min="2"/>
       </fd:validation>
     </fd:field>
....

In my .jx file situated in:
	mysite/jx/myForm.jx

I have declared:
<page
xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0"
xmlns:cinclude="http://apache.org/cocoon/include/1.0"
xmlns:ft="http://apache.org/cocoon/forms/1.0#template"
xmlns:fi="http://apache.org/cocoon/forms/1.0#instance"
 >
.............
			<ft:form-template name="Form1" id="Form1" method="post" 
action="#{$continuation/id}.kont">
					 <ft:widget id="name" />
............

When the page is rendered the form field element is not rendered to the 
page, this is because myForm.jx does not know where the declaration.xml 
file is. How do I declare in myForm.jx where to find declaration.xml 
file?

regards


Andrew

You mean the form model, right?

Have a look at the src/blocks/forms/samples/flow/registration.js 
sample, for example. The connection between the form object and the 
model file is done by

     var form = new Form("forms/registration.xml");

Bertrand,
I have had a look and am still none the wiser. How do I make my form 
page aware of where the cform definition file is???

You might want to have a look at the supersonic tour examples ("tour" 
block), there are a few simple CForms examples that you could use as a 
starting point.
