[Announcement] Cocoon Form Handling - XML Form Release 0.8
First, I would like to thank everyone who participates in the Form Handling
discussion.
I have learned a lot from this discussion in the last few weeks.
There are plenty of great ideas coming from all directions, and some of them
influenced my
thinking significantly.
As I have already mention more than once, I have a certain fear that this
topic may be too large
to handle at once and may eventually wind up as it did several times before
(Schemox, ExFormular, etc.)
I would very much like this time Cocoon to end up with a better overall form
handling solution, than the one that currently exists. It does not have to
be perfect from the start.
With all tha said, I am presenting the new incarnation
of the xmlform framework.
It has gone through major refactoring, heavyly influenced by Torsten
and Konstantin.
I will not advertsise it much this time. I would instead encourage people
who are *really* interested
in bettering Cocoon, to look at the code and provided feedback.
There is one non-trivial demo, which is an extension of the survey wizard,
originally offered by Torsten and lately discussed on the list.
It is a multi page bi-directional wizard using many of the interesting form
controls.
The previous simpler examples were removed to prevent confusion.
I have tried to document in detail all key source files.
Once you build c2 with scratchpad, point to
http://localhost:8080/cocoon/mount/xmlform/wizard.html
For those who will take the time to peek in,
I would like to request votes on the following:
1) Does this solution prohibit further extensions in directions that you
might be interested?
2) Does this solution offer better overall form handling than the existing
one for C2?
3) Can this solution be the base for 2.1?
Thanks everyone,
Ivelin

Just my (unimportant) opinions:

no. And if it does...well there is always the next release! ;-)

I think if this is a particular issue, then you might consider adding a
code formatter to the CVS module. It seems a bit of a waist of your
time to have to czar this. just a humble suggestion.
(since the style happens to basically match mine...hehe...I could care
less in general ;-) )

Thanks for the patch.
I actually did a full clean and build on my box, saw and fixed the error but
couldn't check it in before you did :)

Old habits, hard to change overnight. Can we do something similiar to
Andrew's suggestion?
We're doing this at the office. Human errors are inevitable.

Will work on this.
You didn't mention if the demo ran successfully or not?
BTW, I am probably still doing something wrong with the mailing lists,
because I see your patch on the dev list, but don't see any of the files I
checked in. How do I fix that?
Cheers,
Ivelin

I unfortunately do not have the necessary time to peek in, but just
tried to compile with JDK 1.3 and this failed. Please, ensure that your
code runs on 1.3, or even 1.2 (there are still a lot of appservers
running 1.2 on customer sites).
Also, please respect the coding standard in use for Cocoon :
- 4 spaces indentation,
- class attributes at the top of the class, and without a trailing
underscore,
- open braces at the end of lines,
- no spaces before and after parenthesis.
This may not be your current coding standard (just as it's not the one
in use in my company), but please use it for code consistency.
Remember also that JavaDoc is HTML and thus a new line in the comment
doesn't produce a new line in the javadoc.
Thanks,
Sylvain
