[2.1m2][xmlforms][wizard-flow] nested model-beans and continuations
Hello all,
I've got kind of a hair-brained question here, forgive me if it is not
completely clear. I'm having a hard time thinking of how to create a flow and
forms for editing a complex, highly nested, and even recursively defined bean.
Let's say I have a bean class A with property of class B. B also has an
optional property of type B.
My best thinking is that when I come to those items in the xmlform, I will
display a link to another flow, so that a "sub-form" is navigated to. Cramming
everything into one form is, of course, not a very good option. Anyway, the
theoretical solution presents me with two problems:
1. Could the new form and continuation be passed the old continuation, and
access objects from the old flow?
2. Could the new flow return to continue the old continuation once it was done?
I might possibly go as much as two or three continuations deeps. Remember that
each is pretty much an XMLForm wizard implementation, so I'm not writing any
other low-level flow code except that to control the form wizard much like in
the xmlform samples.
I haven't looked into woody that much yet, so if I'm missing something easier
there, let me know. If anybody has any good pointers or general suggestions I
would appreciate it! Surely someone else has had to deel with beans that
weren't "skin-deep" and contained further complex types.
TIA
/S

Of course! Thanks. I responded too quickly the first time, so I'm sure it
sounded bad.

Steven:
This flow-continuations stuff is so new that too few people have it clear
enough to advise about the correct way to do what you requested.
Currently, flow-continuations is still being defined. No one is trying to
show if someone is bad or good coder. Everybody just try to give a tip
that can help. Nothing more or less. Your idea to go to dev is good.
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo.

No you didn't! I just don't think I explained my intentions well enough at
first (and the reponse seemed way too obvious at first). No biggy. I'll try the
dev'ers now. Thanks for the reponses!

Steven,
Hope I didn't offend your programming sensibilities ;-)
I'd recommend asking this on the developer list. There are more people
doing this kind of stuff there, so you're more likely to get a decent
answer.

Re: [2.1m2][xmlforms][wizard-flow] nested model-beans and continuations
Posted by Steven Cummings <st...@yahoo.com>.
I'm not *that* bad a coder, I can make recursive calls in code! But I'm
wondering how to ensure that a new continuation is created so that I can run a
"sub-" formwizard with it's own continuation and then use the old continuation
id to return from it. While I know how continuations are continued from the
flow examples, I don't know exactly how to break back into an xmlforms
continuation with a particular id. It is built up a little more, at a
high-level. And I don't immediately have any pipeline that takes a continuation
id like from the flow examples for the form and form-wizard frameworks. That is
my wondering.

I'm an extreme newbie here, but:
You do it the same as you would with any programming language:
var continueRecursing = true;
function foo() {
if (continueRecursing) {
sendPageAndWait(...);
foo();
}
}
Or, if you're using jxforms (flow enabled xmlforms), then you'll use
sendForm() instead of sendPageAndWait().
Hope that helps a bit.

Antonio,
But how do you make a recursive call within the xmlform functionality? Do you
call it within the javascript or from a page to the desired pipeline? Thanks.

I am not sure, but maybe a recursion of the same function would work here.

If the recursion can work here, the answer is yes. :)
