CForms Help

[Matthew Ceroni <ce...@hotmail.com>]

Quick question about CForms (since the example on cocoon.apache.org doesn't 
seem complete).

I am using Cocoon 2.1.

The example on the website sets up the main pipeline as such.

<map:match pattern="registration-display-pipeline">
  <map:generate src="forms/registration_template.xml"/>
  <map:transform type="forms"/>
  <map:transform type="i18n">
    <map:parameter name="locale" value="en-US"/>
  </map:transform>
  <map:transform src="resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl"/>
  <map:serialize/>
</map:match>

My question is, how does this pipeline know what model file to use. (since 
it only specifies the template).

Thanks

surely you find something like

  <map:flow language="javascript">
        <map:script src="cont/useradm.js"/>
    </map:flow>

in your sitemap. look at this code. you will find included something like

cocoon.load("resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/flow/javascript/v2/Form.js");

look at this file. there you will find a function called handleForm.

the pipeline you found is called by the flowscript function. you get to the 
pipeline using something like

     <map:match pattern="handle-*">
		        <map:call function="handleForm">
         		<map:parameter name="function" value="getAdminForms"/>
			<map:parameter name="form-definition" 
value="xml/newuser-forms-definition.xml"/>
        		<map:parameter name="documentURI" value="cocoon:/get-{1}-data"/>
         		<map:parameter name="bindingURI" value="xml/newuser_bind_xml.xml"/>
		</map:call>
	     </map:match>

you will find it in your sitemap.

in this example the function getAdminForms is called by the flow. look at your 
function in the flowscript you registered by <map:flow .....> for function 
which is called in your pipeline.

model file name  is given to the function by the parameter form-definition.

I'm not quite sure but it seems logical to me.
It's because when you call this pipeline from flowscript you have
already created the form using the form definition :

var form = new Form("my_definition.xml");
form.showForm("registration-display-pipeline");

And the link between both the definition and the template is
maintained through that call to showForm.
