Pointer to good Java Binding Cocoon Forms docs?
I am at a point where I need good step by step instructions on binding a
CForm to a Java object (in the JavaBean idiom). I'm talking from the
beginning. The reference docs on the Cocoon site are "ok" if you have
the environment set up already. I have done Google searches and tried
following the samples, but I'm still hit and miss here.
I'm staring up the end of a deadline and I only have some frustration to
show for it. I believe I only need some coaching at this point, but
there isn't anything that really qualifies for "This is where you begin
and how things work together". I need some kind of pointer, please. I
know CForms works, because of some of your comments. I just can't seem
to get it working for me.

It's not a "how to" which is what I need. It's a working sample and I
have to figure out by reverse engineering how the thing works. I need
it, not only for myself but for my colleagues as well. This is the text
I see:
Cocoon Forms has a binding framework which assists in copying Java-bean
or XML (DOM) data into a form and back.
XML Binding
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/form2xml.flow>
- A form for just editing an XML file.
Simple XML Binding
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/form2simpleXML.flow>
- A form for just editing XML data. Illustrates the XMLAdapter.
Bean Binding
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/form2bean.flow>
- A form for just editing a Java bean
Step-by-step tutorial into individual binding features:
1. Binding Simple Values
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/binding-01value.flow>
- fb:*/@direction and fb:value/*
2. Lenient Binding
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/binding-02lenient.flow>
- fb:*/@lenient
3. Aggregate Binding
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/binding-03aggregate.flow>
- fb:aggregate
4. Heavy Form
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/binding-04heavy-XML.flow>
- Form with lots of select boxes - test memory utilization, performance
5. Custom Bindings using Java or Javascript
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/binding-05custom.flow>
- fb:javascript and fb:custom
6. XML binding using namespaces
<http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/demos/21branch/samples/blocks/forms/binding-06namespaced-XML.flow>
- Using XML binding with complex namespaced XML
And on each link is an example of a form. There's no link to a "how to"
or tutorial there.

Hi Berin,
In the sample there is a nice step by step tutorial of how bean
framework works [1] lookup for "Binding samples".
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo.
