Form Libraries

---=20

This feature is only available from the repository fo= r the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) by Max Pfingsthorn as long as it is not integrated into the current Forms = block.

=20 ---

It is now possible to define libraries of form definitions and bindi= ngs. --- Specific support for templates was intentially left out because of the --- frequently changing and unstructured nature of it. Other tools, such as= the JX --- Template Generator's import feature or a combination of the Include Tra= nsformer --- and XSLT will do a better job dealing with any template formatting need= s.

This feature was first described in the wiki +++ here and +++ here. +++ Max= 's +++ proposal for the Google +++ Summer of Code is still available on the wiki as well.

With this feature, it is now possible to define libraries of form de= finitions +++ and bindings. Specific support for templates was intentially left out b= ecause of +++ the frequently changing and unstructured nature of it. Other tools, suc= h as the +++ JX Template Generator's import feature or a combination of the Include +++ Transformer and XSLT will do a better job dealing with any template for= matting +++ needs.

One important feature of the library subsystem is inheritance. Form = widgets and bindings can inherit their contents and parameters from others. All= such parent bindings/widgets will be referenced by IDs like so:
