[CFORMS] help on cforms

[beatejung <be...@online.de>]

hi all,

i'm sorry for this stupid question i asked yesterday. 
now i found an easy way to solve the problem, but the form got quite 
complicated. ( repeaters with structs in unions in unions in repeaters and 
some hidden fields and so on).
i needed something to show me the current structure and all values but i did 
not find anything i could use. (maybe becasue i'm very new on cocoon )
thats why i made a little javascript function. it works fine for me.
it prints the tree like this:

|_ multiple ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.BooleanField) : false
 |_ question-rows ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Repeater) : null
 |_
  |_ 0 ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Repeater$RepeaterRow) : null
  |_
   |_ id ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Field) : null
   |_ type ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Field) : p
   |_ union ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Union) : p
   |_
    |_ p ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Struct) : null
    |_
     |_ editable ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Field) : null
     |_ edit-union ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Union) : null
     |_
   |_ moveUp ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.RowAction) : null
   |_ moveDown ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.RowAction) : null
   |_ addAfter ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.RowAction) : null
   |_ delete ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.RowAction) : null
   |_ edit ( org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Action) : null

perhaps someone here has a similar problem remember the structure he created 
and dump values during the flow, so i think i should send the code to the 
list. 
please ignore if it is rubbish.

#### start helperfunctions.js ########
var containerClasses=[
	"org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Form",
	"org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Union",
	"org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Struct",
	"org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Repeater$RepeaterRow",
	"org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Repeater"
 //  thats not true .. but it works ... 
// .. gets another handling in function though
];



function exploreTree(element, level, showClassNames, showValues){
/*
	element - the widget where the tree should start from
	level - should be 0 first, just to make the tree nicer ;-)
	showClassNames - shows not only the widget-id but also the name of the class
	showValues - shows also the current value


*/
	var spaces = "";
	for(i=0;i<level;i++)
		spaces+=" ";
	var className=element.getClass().getName();
	print (spaces+"|_ "+element.getId()+
	(showClassNames?" ( "+className+")":"")+
	(showValues?" : "+element.getValue():""));
	for(i=0;i<containerClasses.length;i++){ 
		if(className==containerClasses[i]){
		var elementChildren;
		if(className=="org.apache.cocoon.forms.formmodel.Repeater"){
			size=element.getSize();
			var children=new java.util.ArrayList();
			for(i=0;i<size;i++){
				children.add(element.getChild(i));
			}
			elementChildren= children.iterator();
		} else {
			var elementChildren=element.getChildren();	
		}
			print(spaces+"|_");
				while(elementChildren.hasNext()){
					var nextElement=elementChildren.next();
					exploreTree(nextElement, level+1,showClassNames, showValues);
				}
				break;
			} 
		}
}

#### end helperfunctions.js ########

i call it here for example:

<fd:on-action>
	<javascript>
			exploreTree(event.source.getForm(),0,"false","true");
	</javascript>
</fd:on-action>

i would be happy if it helps someone:-)
