Developer Notes
This sample shows how to build a Cocoon Form with a repeater widget
that is bound to JavaBeans. The fields in a repeater row
are dependent. More specific: the choice in the first selection list
updates the selection list in the second field. Finally, a choice
in the second selection list, changes the third field.
Flowscripts are used to build the forms and handle the result.
This sample assumes you have a basic knowledge of Cocoon Forms and Javascript. If your knowledge of Cocoon Forms is limited, please have a look at the Cocoon Forms documentation and the Wiki pages.
Flowscript or flow, is considered to be the glue between pipelines and forms. It is a special
kind of Javascript that runs on the server.
More information on the Flowscript can be found through the links in the Flowscript section
of Chapter 7 of the Cocoon215TOC
Wiki page.
Also have a look at the Supersonic Tour Sample which is a live tutorial with a quick overview of Cocoon. Cocoon Forms and flow are explained there and you can see some samples in action.
This page is started from a flowscript that reads in soccer.xml and
passes it onto a Manager. This Java class represents a simple Java-based
connection to a datasource.
Normally you would handle all interaction with the data through Java classes, not in
flow, but for the sake of simplicity and to demonstrate the communication between flow and
your business layer, we used a function loadDocument to read in the XML file and pass
it on to the Manager class.
