Dynamically creating a form from XML with cforms
Hi list,
I am an newbie to cocoon (but not to Java and web technologies). I would
like to use cocoon to generate a html form for a given XML data file. The
XML is defined in an XSD schema. Ideally I would like to have only to
supply my XML data and the XSD and than have (*doMiracle()*) cocoon
generate the appropriate html form... From what I understand so far
cocoon's cform block and its binding mechanisms should be just sweet for
the job. I have looked at the sample apps that come with the 2.1.9 src and
have been playing around with them for a day now. What I can't seem to
find is a howto on what exactly I need to do to achieve my goal. Can
anyone help me with a bit of input on howto go about this - or maybe point
me to a tutorial that covers these topics?
TIA, Jan

Thanks a lot Derek! I will be diving into the example given in the Wiki
and see how it goes.

This question does come up from time-to-time
- look at:
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/Schema2CocoonForms
(Please note I am not the author of this, nor have I tried it!)
PS Apart from the samples, the online docs are also key to
understanding CForms:
