XSP Forms - Best Practice?

[Thomas Zehetbauer <th...@hostmaster.org>]

Hi,

what is the current recommended practice for having a XSP output a HTML
form showing the values of the last submission? This seems especially
complicated for <select>/<option> groups. Is there any library/block for
this yet?

Hi Tom,

For what you want to do, you could have a look to CForms, which is the best way to go.
But if you have to deal with XSP, you must get the values from the request object here [1], accessible from your XSP.
Then, you can use java loops to generate your form.

<xsp:logic>
     for (int i=0 ; i&lt;parameters.length ; i++) {
         <input type="text"><xsp:attribute name="value"><xsp:expr>parameters[i]</xsp:expr></xsp:attribute></input>
     }
</xsp:logic>
