XMLForm Howto tips'n tricks

[lp...@celp.de]

That was quite an effort to make the xmlform examples
run. A problem was the xmlform-id in sitemap.xmap that
is referred as id in the xf:form tag in the input file.
The sitemap example in Step 5 of the howto is a bit
strange, there are different versions of the same part>

If you use different xmlform-ids, form-howto and
form-feedback, you need two different versions of
files like start.xml, where this id is used.
I introduced a directory wizard beside existing xmlform.
Here comes my version of the part in samples/xmlform/sitemap.xmap

Note !! that I commented out the validation, because I still have
library problems.
The redirections solve the problem of incorrect references,
e.g. I saw howto-wizard.html and also howto-wizard.

    <map:pipeline>
       <map:match pattern="">
          <map:redirect-to uri="wizard"/>
       </map:match>
       <map:match pattern="wizard.html">
          <map:redirect-to uri="wizard"/>
       </map:match>
       <map:match pattern="howto-wizard.html">
          <map:redirect-to uri="howto-wizard"/>
       </map:match>

       <map:match pattern="wizard">
          <map:act type="WizardAction">

             <!--

             <map:parameter name="xmlform-id" value="form-feedback"/>

             <!-- Content transformation logic -->

             <map:transform type="xmlform" label="xml"/>

             <map:transform src="context://stylesheets/xmlform2html.xsl"/>
             <map:serialize type="html"/>
          </map:act>
       </map:match>

       <map:match pattern="howto-wizard">

             <map:serialize type="html"/>
          </map:act>
       </map:match>

    </map:pipeline>




btw: the combination java 1.4 and cocoon cvs snapshot doesn't
even show the first page of the Cocoon2 Demo, at least on my
box. I still use cocoon-2.0.3. Your experiences?
