Re: XMLForm Wizard alternative?

Hi there

I do not know if anyone else has done it - but I was so impressed with 
xmlform that I took the 2.1 code and hacked it a bit to compile and run on 
cocoon 2.0.4 - it's working for me - and I can create a source jar file 
and such for creating a cocoon-xmlform-2.0.4.jar file to put into 
WEB-INF/lib for cocoon-2.0.4 users that would like to play around with 
xmlform.

If it has your interest send me a mail.

You can simply use the XMLForm's syntax for form representation and use a
custom action to generate the next step for you. To customize the forms 
you
can either use XSP or a special transformer.
