Re: DHTML drop down menus in Frames

I just read that thread and I don't believe it is the same.
Reason being that the menus drop down into the lower frame fine without the
lower frame being a pipeline.
Using IE6 SP1. I will mess with the IFrame idea.

I will mess with the IFrame idea.

There is a recent thread in the dev archives about this.
It couldn't be committed due to various issues. Other
solutions were proposed, but no further action yet.

It is a useful idea. There are many questions that continually
get asked. Anyone is free to add to our Frequently Asked Questions:
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/faq/
If you cannot manage a patch in the xdocs format, then just send
a text version to this mailing list. However, as Derek said, it is
very difficult to keep those FAQs and the Wiki pages up-to-date.
If each person in this big community helped just a tiny bit, then
we would get there - the power of community.

Tomcat and logkit conflicts

Re: Tomcat and logkit conflicts

Hi Joe:

This seems to be a problem in commons-logging and not in LogKit. Check if
you have diferent versions or older versions of the commons-logging-jar.

Authentication and accessing the request object

Hello,

I have set up a basic authetication page using the 
authentication-manager and implementing the Authenticator interface with 
my own class, which works fine. However I need to pass information back 
via the request object within this class but the two parameters for 
Authenticator are of type SourceParameters and HandleConfiguration, 
neither of which provide me access to the request object nor allow me to 
utilise ObjectModelHelper in any way in order to obtain the request 
object. Is the only way I can accomplish this not to use the 
authentication model but instead break it down into separate actions 
which will allow me access to the request? I would rather not do this if 
possible. The relevant areas of my sitemap are shown below.

Thanks.

CForm bind problem (EvaluatorException: org.mozilla.javascript.UniqueTag)

Hello,

I am trying to understand the process and minimum requirement for 
setting up a simple CForm in Cocoon 2.1.5. I have followed the doco and 
samples where possible but I think I've hit a wall. I have created a 
simple form, but failed when binding from an XML file with the following 
error:
org.mozilla.javascript.EvaluatorException: 
"resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/flow/javascript/Form.js", line 164: 
Invalid JavaScript value of type org.mozilla.javascript.UniqueTag

I reduced the form down to a simple single text field bind, but still 
received the same error.

What I have set up is a simple form called batchUpload with its own dir 
area as follows:
BASEDIR: cocoon2.1.5/build/webapp/forms-test
Forms: $BASEDIR/forms
Flow: $BASEDIR/flow
Resources: $BASEDIR/resources (this is a copy of the cocoon resources 
dir build/webapp/samples/blocks/forms/resources, so has the field 
stylesheets, etc)
Messages: $BASEDIR/messages
Sitemap: $BASEDIR/sitemap.xmap

The sitemap file is as follows:

=====================
The Javascript to do the form load (batchUpload.js), bind and display is 
as follows (within the form.load() is where the exception mentioned 
above is thrown)

cocoon.load("resource://org/apache/cocoon/forms/flow/javascript/Form.js");

function batchUpload() {
   var form = new Form("forms/batchUpload.xml");
// added for bind
   var documentURI = cocoon.parameters["documentURI"];

   // parse the document to a DOM-tree
   var document = loadDocument(documentURI);

   // bind the document data to the form
   form.load(document);

   // The showForm function will keep redisplaying the form until
   // everything is valid
   form.showForm("batchUpload-display-pipeline");
}

function loadDocument(uri) {
   var parser = null;
   var source = null;
   var resolver = null;
   try {
       parser = 
cocoon.getComponent(Packages.org.apache.excalibur.xml.dom.DOMParser.ROLE);
       resolver = 
cocoon.getComponent(Packages.org.apache.cocoon.environment.SourceResolver.ROLE); 

       source = resolver.resolveURI(uri);
       var is = new 
Packages.org.xml.sax.InputSource(source.getInputStream());
       is.setSystemId(source.getURI());
       return parser.parseDocument(is);
   } finally {
       if (source != null)
           resolver.release(source);
       cocoon.releaseComponent(parser);
       cocoon.releaseComponent(resolver);
   }
}

XML schema and XForms

Hi all,

I'm about to start a project where I generate a web form (could be HTML, XHTML or
WML) from an XML schema, transformed by an XSLT file. Obvously, Cocoon is an ideal
platform for this. Has anybody else used Cocoon for this before and care to share
their expericences?

I'm also looking at transforming the schema to XForms somehow, as that's suppose to
be the new web forms standard. Is CForms is in fact an implementation of XForms? The
W3C page http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/ says that Cocoon's XMLForm is an
implementation of XForms, but that is deprecated and refers to JXForms as the
implementation of XForms. So what's the difference between CForms and JXForms?
CForms seem to be much more used, by looking at the postings to the mailinglist.

So it boils down to 2 questions:
1. Is CForms an implementation of XForms and how does it differ from JXForms? Any
recommendations which to use, from those with experience of these forms frameworks?
2. Has anybody used XSLT in Cocoon to transform a XML schema to an XForms form or
XHTML/WML form and care to share their experiences?

Cheers,
Nina

Re: Authentication and accessing the request object

The method recommended to me was to implement Contextualizable. In the 
contextualize method save the context that is passed in. Then use:

Map objModel = ContextHelper.getObjectModel(this.context);

I'm using this in a source factory to get the request object.
