Are you looking for the repeater-widget?

Ok this is what I've tried so far. You will find the three form files
attached. And the flowscript function is the following :
function displayUsersList(){
getUsers();
var usersList = users.getAllUsers();
var form = new Form("users_d.xml");
form.createBinding("users_b.xml");
form.load(usersList);
form.showForm("displayUsersForm");
}
And here is the concerned pipeline :
<map:pipeline internal-only="true">
<map:act type="locale">
<map:match pattern="internal/*">
<map:generate src="pages/{1}.xml"/>
<map:call resource="apply-theme">
<map:parameter name="includemenu" value="true"/>
</map:call>
</map:match>
</map:act>
</map:pipeline>
Of course it doesn't work I'm sure I miss a few things but I don't
know where. Here is the exception I get :
An Error Occurred
No Cocoon Form found.
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Error executing pipeline.:

...
Any idea ?
Thx in advance.

We've used CForms for this.
function displayUsers(){
var users = usersService.findAllUsers();
var form = new Form("model.xml");
form.createBinding("binding.xml");
form.load(users);
form.showForm("displayUsersForm");
// get the repeater widget from the form an look which
// users are selected and get the corresponding bean
// from the users collection and do whatever you want to do :-)
// maybe dependend on form.submitId
}
In the form-model you can use a fd:booleanfield for the selection
and fd:output-fields to display the username inside the
repeater-widget.

Exactly ! A very good example of what I would like to achieve in the
first place is GMail main frame, except that instead of listing
emails, I want to list users (for now). But it's exactly the kind of
interface I'm trying to make : a list of entities with actions to
apply on selected ones, etc.
It seems to be something quite common in web applications.
But I'm beginning to think of making a HTML form directly, using a
JXTemplate, since validation is not a big issue. This way I could just
do something like that in flowscript :
function displayUsers(){
var users = usersService.findAllUsers();
cocoon.sendPageAndWait("users-list",{list : users});
...
}
But the problem with this is how do I get data back from "users-list"
form page ? How to get POST parameters ?
And over all, which solution is more elegant : CForm (if possible) or
ordinary HTML form ?
WDYT ?

Hmm, so it seems that I don't understand your problem correctly.
So you have a collection of user-objects and you want to show
them to the user so that he can select one or more to do further
actions on them?
So you want to display a checkbox and some other information from
the user-objects (e.g. first- and lastname)?

Not exactly. I know this widget but my problem is more how to build my
form from flowscript than writing the form model itself... :(
