Cocoon Forms or not?
Hi guys,
It's only me.
I'm going ahead with my cocoon journey and I discover what Woody, now
Cocoon Forms, is. My question is: Did this framework reach a usable
stage? I'm going to use cocoon for the first time in a real-world
project. I'd like to know if Woody is for me or if I should turn to
another Form framework. If this is the case, which one do you suggest to
me?
Thanks for any help,
Gianluca

This is correct from an implementation POV but the interfaces
(namespaces, widget definitions) will change over the next few months.
If you are willing to follow the changes accordingly, Cocoon Forms (aka
Woody) is the best choice.

Yep.

Being heavily biased of course, I'd only want to attest that
Woody/Cocoon Forms is very much usable in its current state, but that,
should you want to make use of new features as-they-come-along, you
should be prepared to live off CVS HEAD for a while.
HTH,

If you really want to use plain HTML forms you should make sure to have
a look at the forms sample coming with cocoon and in particular the
SimpleFormTransformer and SimpleFormInstanceTransformer. They should
ease this alot by (a) automatically filling a form from e.g. request
parameters (b) include / exclude error tags corresponding to
FormValidatorAction results and (c) provide a way to separate instance
data from actual form.

Okay, thank you all, I think I'll go with the "FormValidatorActions". It
seems to be the most documented. Unfortunally I don't have much time
neither to follow Woody progress nor to try undocumented features.
Of course the choice I've done is for the current project only. I'll
keep following Woody progresses.
If someone have to stop me from this choiche, please do it now before
it's too late :)
