CForms, repeater, binding and POJO's
Hi,
Does someone know where I can find a simple sample CForm with a
repeater to edit a list of POJO's using the binding framework ?
Because in samples the binding is made from a XML file and I can't
figure out how to adapt it.
In fact what I would like to do is quite simple :
- load the repeater-based form definition
- load a list of POJO's from flowscript
- bind this list to my repeater-based form definition
- send page as usual with CForms.
Any ideas ?
Thx in advance...

OK this sample is definitely not what I'm looking for. I don't
understand how JXPath works and I can't figure out how I can edit a
simple bean LIST. Not just one, but a list of them. I don't even need
a repeater in fact because I don't want my beans to be editable
directly in the list and I don't want to add or remove them directly
in the list. I just want to load a java.util.List and display a form
with one bean represented in each row, the first column being a
selection checkbox, the second one a representative property and the
third one containing a list of applicable actions.
A good example of what I would like to achieve is the applications
list in tomcat manager main page, each application being one of my
beans.
Any idea of how I could do that simply ? Is it better to use CForms
(because I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible with CForms) or
should I just make a JX Template with a for loop ?
WDYT ? I really need your help. It's one of the last obstacles on my
project's road to success :-P
Pleaaaase... help...

I have only used binding to XML, but form what I can tell, you must have a parent, so you would need to wrap it and point parent-path to it.

First of all thank you for your answers Jens : you help me very much
despite the fact that my questions don't seem to be very popular.
Anyway now I have a more specific issue concerning path values in binding file.
In the form2bean sample and in the documentation it's assumed that I
have some root bean with a collection member :
For beans: if your bean has a property "things" which is a Collection
[or whathever JXPath supports as lists], then the parent-path should
simply contain "." and the row-path "things".
But in my example I intend to load the collection itself (if possible)
and bind it to "/". Is it possible or do I have to wrap my collection
into an artificial bean ? If it's possible as is, what should I put in
parent-path and row-path attribute for fb:repeater ?

Ok thank you very much. It doesn't seem to be exactly what I'm looking
for but it's a start anyway. At least it should help me understand the
binfing framework a little better.
But first of all where does the handleForm function come from ? I
didn't find it in any flowscript file imported, and still it is called
in sitemap :
<map:match pattern="form2bean.flow">
<map:call function="handleForm">
<map:parameter name="function" value="form2bean"/>
<map:parameter name="form-definition" value="forms/form2_model.xml"/>
<map:parameter name="bindingURI" value="forms/form2_bind_bean.xml"/>
</map:call>
</map:match>
If I could understand where this function comes from I would be able
to figure out what is its "form" parameter and how it's used that
way...
Any idea ?

There are samples with beans too.

hava a look at
build\webapp\samples\blocks\forms\flow\binding_example.js
function form2bean(form) ...
and
build\webapp\samples\blocks\forms\forms\form2_bind_bean.xml
--> http://localhost:8888/samples/blocks/forms/form2bean.flow
