Class FormOpen

java.lang.Object

org.apache.wiki.forms.FormElement

org.apache.wiki.forms.FormOpen

All Implemented Interfaces:

Plugin

public class FormOpen
extends FormElement

Opens a WikiForm. Builds the HTML code for opening a FORM.

Since we're only providing an opening FORM tag, we can't use the ECS utilities. A Form plugin line that produces one looks like this:

   [{FormOpen name='formname' handler='pluginname'
          submit='submitservlet'
          show='always'
   }]
 

Mandatory parameters:
The name field identifies this particular form to the Form plugin across pages.
The handler field is a WikiPlugin name; it will be invoked with the form field values.

Optional parameters:

The submitservlet is the name of a JSP/servlet capable of handling the input from this form. It is optional; the default value is the current page (which can handle the input by using this Plugin.)

The hide parameter affects the visibility of this form. If left out, the form is always shown. If set to 'onsuccess', the form is not shown if it was submitted successfully. (Note that a reload of the page would cause the context to reset, and the form would be shown again. This may be a useless option.)
