[CForms] building dynamic selection list with javaflow
I've read the doc about how to create dynamic
selection list data in formscript a la this:
var data = new Object();
data.cityList = new Array(2);
data.cityList[0] = {value:"AL", label:"Alabama"};
data.cityList[1] = {value:"AK", label:"Alaska"};
form.showForm("flow/myform.form", data);
...and I'm wondering if there's a nice way to do it in
Javaflow such that I don't have to create an object
with a bunch of named members (ex. cityList) ie. one
for each selection list.
I looked at the methods of form.getChild("name") but
didn't find any that seemed like it would work.
Thanks,
JF

If you're using JavaFlow then it might be more appropriate/easy to use a
JavaSelectionList. The docs on it are pretty light, but take a look at
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/forms/datatype/AbstractJavaSelectionList.html
Basically you create a class that extends AbstractJavaSelectionList and
implement the build() method to build the selection list options using
addItem(value, label). Then instantiate your class, set it as the field's
selection list, and there you go.
Hope that helps.
