XMLForm Wizard alternative?
Hy,
in our project (CMS) we want to easily generate input fields in a
wizard-like interface. It is later used by authors to put different types of
articles into a database.
As different types of articles have other information needs, we want to
provide the user with form field that represent that needs of the specific
article. So we need a mechanism to generate steps of our wizard (namely page
with form fields) from centralized information (great would be the db)
As this XMLWizard mechanism is only available from a cocoon beta, we are not
allowed to use it. Can you imagine an alternative way to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

You can simply use the XMLForm's syntax for form representation and use a
custom action to generate the next step for you. To customize the forms you
can either use XSP or a special transformer.
