cforms xml binding with xs:choice

Hi,

working on my first Cocoon project I am facing the following problem; I am 
generating a html form using cforms from a given schema (and accompanying 
xml data file). The schema contains a couple of xs:choice instructions. At 
the moment this is treated as the same as a sequence, e.g. the form 
expects _all_ elements to be filled in, not only one choice. Can somebody 
give me an idea on howto implement a transformation that generates a form 
that will enable an (xor) choice?
I am working with version 2.1.9 and have been adopting the schema2form 
example given by Niels van Kampenhout to get this far.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

TIA, Jan

Hi Giacomo,

thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try.

Maybe the fd:union is what you are looking for (datasource selector in the
forms samples) where another widget (case attribute of fd:union) determines
the set of widgets you want to be displayed.
