1.4 contains a contactform module which is based on the usecasedocument
resource type. Maybe you can use this as a starting point.

Hi all,
I'm still looking at creating a form in Lenya that will acquire some
user information so we can create a mailing list.
Has anyone solved this type of problem within Lenya 1.4?
thanks,
Andrew

Sorry for not speaking up earlier but ATM I am quite busy.
lenya 1.2. usecase and 1.4. are *very* different.
What solprovider describes works perfectly in 1.2 but not in 1.4 since
the architecture of the usecase framework has changed heaps.

which is no surprise see above.
IMO you may want to look at the cform doctype example if you want to use
cforms. ...but IMO that is not even needed for a "simple" contact form.
The basic steps to set up an usecase are described in
http://lenya.apache.org/1_4/reference/usecase-framework/index.html#Implementing+a+Custom+Usecase
So I guess the quickest solution is to
1) create and setup a usecase java/config
2) create a *simple* html form as view (mind to give the input fields
unique identifier like lenya.contact.name - this prevent any possible
conflicts)
Now in the doExecute() you will request the information like
String name = getParameterAsString("lenya.contact.name");
...
and do your business logic.

Sequence of events:
1. Enter URL with "?lenya.usecase=contact".
2. The 1.2 Usecase Framework passes control to "usecase-contact.xmap"
3. usecase-contact.xmap's default pipeline passes control to
"modules/contact/module.xmap"
4. module.xmap's default pipeline calls function "contact()" in "code.js"
5. contact() prints "### CONTACT US ###"
6. contact() passes control to "contact-display" pipeline in module.xmap.
7. "contact-display" pipeline should send the web form. Instead it
sends error "The requested document '/resources.html' with document-id
'/resources' does not exist."
If it had not errored, the visitor sees the form, and would submit it
to the ft:form-template action, which must send the continuation back
to the module.xmap. You are not reaching that point.
So the current error is from the "contact-display" pipeline in "module.xmap":
<map:match pattern="contact-display">
<map:aggregate element="cmsbody">
<map:part
src="cocoon://{page-envelope:publication-id}/navigation/breadcrumb/live/index.xml"/>
<map:part
src="cocoon://{page-envelope:publication-id}/navigation/menu//index.xml"
prefix="xhtml"/>
<map:part
src="cocoon://{page-envelope:publication-id}/navigation/search/index.xml"/>
<map:part src="cocoon:/session-info"/>
<map:part src="cocoon:/contact-form"/>
</map:aggregate>
<map:call resource="page-xhtml"/>
<map:call resource="html-finish"/>
</map:match>
The first 3 "part" are for hardcoded navigation elements, which should be fine.
The "session-info" part might be removed. We use a customized
"login.xsp" to add user data to the XML, but you should not need that.
The "contact-form" part adds "template.xml" modified by resource "form-finish".
"form-finish" uses "formfixer.xsl" and
"../../resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl".
"../../resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl" becomes
{pub}/resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl. If that file is missing,
you get the current error.
Then contact-display calls resource "page-xhtml", which uses
"../../xslt/page2xhtml.xsl". "../../xslt/page2xhtml.xsl" becomes
{pub}/xslt/page2xhtml.xsl. If that file is missing, you get the
current error.
Then contact-display calls resource "html-finish", which uses
"../../../../xslt/util/strip_namespaces.xsl".
"../../../../xslt/util/strip_namespaces.xsl" becomes
"build/lenya/webapp/lenya/xslt/util/strip_namespaces.xsl". If that
file is missing, you get the current error.
The error is probably caused by one of these files being missing:
{pub}/resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl
{pub}/xslt/page2xhtml.xsl
build/lenya/webapp/lenya/xslt/util/strip_namespaces.xsl
My guess is the first one, as that is not a standard file in Lenya.
It comes from the Cocoon "forms" block:
cocoon-2.1.6-src\cocoon-2.1.6\src\blocks\forms\samples\resources
Copy that directory to your Lenya installation and adjust the path in
module.xmap. The given "../../resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl"
was because we dumped that directory into {pub}/resources. That is
slightly messy, so I recommend adding a subdirectory, copying (adjust
for your version of Cocoon):
cocoon-2.1.6-src/cocoon-2.1.6/src/blocks/forms/samples/resources
to:
{pub}/resources/forms
and adjusting module.xmap:
../../resources/forms-samples-styling.xsl
to:
../../resources/forms/forms-samples-styling.xsl
I hope that fixes it. We improved the "forms" block slightly, but I
think that was for presentation rather than anything functional. Let
me know if this fixes it so I can update the documentation.

Hi there.
Thanks for the info. It looks like I've got it calling it, as my
terminal is printing out: "### CONTACT US ###". So code.js is definitely
being called.
I tried this suggestion:
------
5. Depending on how this module is called, the following change to
"template.xml" may be necessary.
CHANGE:
<ft:form-template action="#{$continuation/id}.more" method="POST">
TO:
<ft:form-template
action="#{$continuation/id}.more?lenya.usecase=contact" method="POST">
--------
But that, unfortunately, made no difference.
So to summarise my current error: If I add the suffix
"?lenya.usecase=contact" to page resources.html (a page that normally
works fine), I'll get the error:
"The requested document '/resources.html' with document-id '/resources'
does not exist."
hth in working towards solving this :)
thanks,
Andrew

The code is there; you just need to figure how to call it.
Did you move "usecase-contact.xmap" to the pub directory? With
Lenya1.2, that file is the hook into the Usecase framework. I cannot
tell from the documentation if Lenya1.4 Usecases are
backwards-compatible with Lenya1.2 Usecases :
http://lenya.apache.org/1_4/reference/usecase-framework/index.html
It seems you may need additional configuration to make it work.
Would someone else shed light on the easiest method to add an XMAP to Lenya1.4?

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work.
Firstly, I am using lenya 1.4. I need to use this version for various
reasons.
Basically, after following the steps, and appending
?lenya.usecase=contact to any url, i get a 404 page.
any obvious thoughts from there?

This is the least tested code I have posted. The original code for
Lenya 1.2 was spaghetti'd into a highly customized publication My
current version of Lenya has many customizations for a new Module
architecture that lessens spaghetti but overrides the Usecase code.
Let me know if it works, what you needed to do to integrate it, and
any questions.
