cocoon woody/flow question
Hello list,
I'm trying to build a very simple woody/flow example, and have a
question on how the woody/flow interaction works.
1) If I look at the "guess a number game" in the cocoon wiki, it doesn't
use woody forms, just flow, and is pretty straightforward.
2) If I look at the woody/flow sample it uses the woody js function to
start up the form. That starts up a form, loops it until it validates,
and then shows an answer page. Pretty straightforward too.
Now, in my own exampe, I would like to jump between several different
forms with the flow function.
I cant then initialize the forms with the woody function. Some wiki
examples indicate that this isnt necessary either,
and I cant find the actual purpose of it either.
So I have tried making a woody form this way, and it behaves oddly:
A) If I use a "<input type=submit>" tag directly in the template,
validation works, but it never leaves the validation loop.
The same form is just iterated all the time.
B) If I use a wd:submit tag (with validation=true) the validation loop
isnt done, but its possible to see the value of the validation parameter:
cocoon.load("resource://org/apache/cocoon/woody/flow/javascript/woody2.js");
the little flow function looks like below.
function makereport() {
var form = new Form("forms/form1.xml");
print("before showform");
form.showForm("form1-display-pipeline");
print("after showform"); //never gets here in case A
//gets here immediately regardless of validation in case B
var model = form.getModel();
if (form.isValid) {
print("d1=" + model.startdate);
print("d2=" + model.enddate);
} else {
print("Form is not valid");
}
cocoon.sendPageAndWait("ok.html");
}
How is this supposed to be done? Must each form be initialized with the
woody function?
Doesn't this limit the possibilities of the flowscript to use only one form?
Have I missed something?
(please reply also to me if possible)
Regards,
Joakim

Ok, it works as expected in 2.1.3 without calling the woody function!

yep, and I'm thinking of adjusting the samples to do it this way too. I
think the other way of using the woody function was only introduced to
be similar to the actions we already had.

The "woody" function is a convenience function that basically creates a
new Form and calls another function. You can easily avoid using it and
directly call your own function. That's personally the way I do it.

Thanks Joe,
I understand this, but doesn't this mean that a woody flow function can
display only one form?
The few examples I've seen also seem to imply this. The examples
generally show one woody form the proceed to some jxt template to show
results. Thats fine, but what if I'd like to build a wizard like GUI
which proceeds between several different forms?
If each form needs to be initialized with the woody function, this
wouldn't work very well.
I've been running cocoon 2.1.2, and I noticed that some of the woody
examples changed in 2.1.3. The "registration" example works the way that
seems logical to me, that is, a flow function is called and that
function creates the forms without the woody(f,f) function.
I'll try to build my example in 2.1.3 and see if theres a difference.

Another good thing from Michael is that he is an active player in the XSL
mail list:
xsl-list@lists.mulberrytech.com
So you can post questions there and maybe Michael will answer you
directly! :-D

The one by Michael Kay (2nd edition) is pretty full on, but I reckon the

I find that O'Reilly's Learning XML book by Erik T. Ray is a great, simple
reference. The section on XSLT and XPath is relatively small, but well
written with great examples.

Re: cocoon woody/flow question
Posted by Joe Latty <jo...@tias.com.au>.
The form object is passed to your makereport function from the woody2.js
this is due to the lines:
<map:call function="woody">
<map:parameter name="function" value="makereport"/>
<!--using the following element for its form definition-->
<map:parameter name="form-definition" value="forms/form1.xml"/>
</map:call>
Therefore your function definition would look like this
function makereport(form) {
print("before showform");
form.showForm("form1-display-pipeline");
...
