How to define XForms Framework?

8aslcally maln purpose of xlorms ls Lo collecL daLa

We can descrlbe lnpuL daLa uslng xlorms lnLo Lwo dlfferenL parLs
1 xlorm model
2 xlorm user lnLerface
We use xlorm model Lo descrlbe Lhe daLa and Lhe loglc means uslng xlorm we can deflne whaL Lhe
form ls whaL daLa lL conLalns and whaL lL should do
We use xlorm user lnLerface Lo perform lnpuL and ouLpuL Lask on daLa means LhaL xlorms user
lnLerface use Lo deflne Lhe lnpuL flelds and how Lhey should be dlsplayed

How you define XForms model?
@o descrlbe Lhe daLa we use xlorms ModelWe can also say LhaL daLamodel ls an lnsLance of xML
documenLWe deflne daLa model lnLo Lhe xlorms lnslde a model elemenL
Lxample
model
lnsLance
person
fname
mname
lname
person
lnsLance
submlsslon ldform1
acLlonsubmlLasp
meLhodgeL
model
ln Lhe above example we uses lnsLance elemenL LhaL ls use Lo deflne Lhe xML LemplaLe for daLa Lo be
collecLed and a submlsslon elemenL ls used Lo deflne how we submlL a daLa

@he lnsLance LlemenL uslng lnsLanceelemenL we can deflne Lhe daLa LhaL we collecLed
We use xlorms Lo collecL daLa for an xML documenLAnd lnsLance elemenLls use Lo deflne Lhe xML
documenL ln xlorms model
Lxample
person
fname
mname
lname
person
When xML daLa collecL Lhe daLa lL wlll looks llke LhaL
person
fnamevlvekfname
mnamekumarmname
lnameagarwallname
person

@he submlsslon LlemenL uslng Lhls elemenL we can descrlbe how Lo submlL a daLa lnLo an xML
documenL
Lxample
model
lnsLance
person
fname
mname
lname
person
lnsLance
submlsslon ldform1
acLlonsubmlLasp
meLhodgeL
model
ln Lhe above example we use aLLrlbuL ldform1 aLLrlbuLe Lo ldenLlfy Lhe formAnd uses Lhe
acLlonsubmlLasp aLLrlbuLe Lo deflne Lhe u8L Lo where Lhe form should be submlLLed and use
meLhodgeL aLLrlbuLe Lo deflne Lhe meLhod whlch ls use Lo submlL Lhe daLa

How to perform selection control in XForms?
When we wanL perform conLrol on one or more lLems ln user lnLerface of xlorms we use SelecLlon
conLrol
l have perform Lhree Lype of selecLlon conLrol @hese are
1SelecL1 ConLrol
2SelecL ConLrol
38ange ConLrol
1SelecL1 ConLrol When we wanL Lo selecL one lLem from llsL of lLems we use SelecL1 ConLrol
Lxample
selecL1 refsLaLus
labelSLaLuslabel
lLem
labelMarrledlabel
valueMvalue
lLem
lLem
labelunmarrledlabel
valueuMvalue
lLem
selecL1
ln Lhls example user can selecL only one sLaLus Marrled or unmarrledAnd lL wlll sLored ln Lhe xlorms
lnsLance of xML documenL llke M and uM

2 SelecL ConLrol When we wanL Lo selecL one or more lLems from llsL of lLems we use selecL conLrol
Lxample
selecL reflanguages
labelLanguageslabel
lLem
labelLngllshlabel
valueLvalue
lLem
lLem
labelPlndllabel
valuePvalue
lLem
lLem
labellrenchlabel
valuelvalue
lLem

lLem
lLem
labelCermanlabel
valueCvalue
lLem
selecL
now ln Lhe above example user can selecL more Lhan language

3 8ange ConLrol uslng 8ange conLrol we can selecL a value from a range of values
Lxample
range reflengLh sLarL0 end200 sLep10
labelLengLhlabel
range
now ln Lhe above example user can selecL a value beLween 0 and 200 ln sLeps of 10


How you define XForms Namespace?
xlorms namespace are used ln P@ML and xP@ML10We can perform Lask Lo use xlorms namespace Lo
declare all xlorms elemenL wlLh xlorms namespace
l have glven you example whlch shows how Lo use xloms namespace
Lxample
hLml xmlnsxfhLLpwwww3org2002xforms

ln above example we use xlorms namespace as xfAnd you can use Lhls xlorms namespace Lo call any
Lhlng


How you define controls in XForms?
xlorms conLrols are also Lold as user lnLerface elemenLs we use Lo conLrol user lnLerface of xlorms
l have glven you some maln common conLrols glven below
lnpuL

conLrol elemenL

How we store and transport data using XForms?

We can perform Lask of sLore and LransporL daLa uslng xlorms uslng xlorms we can sLore daLa or Lo
submlL daLa from Lhe form We use xML Lo Lransfer daLa over Lhe neLkeep ln mlnd xlorms SLore and
@ransform daLa ln Lhe form of unlcode byLes

How you define XForms User Interface?
We use xlorms user lnLerface Lo dlsplay and geL lnpuL Lhe daLa
We called user lnLerface elemenLs of xlorms as conLrols or lnpuL conLrols
Lxample
lnpuL reffnamelabelllrsL namelabellnpuL

We use submlsslonform1 aLLrlbuLe whlch refers Lo submlsslon elemenL ln Lhe xlorms model
ln Lhe above example we use label elemenLs WlLh xlorms every lnpuL conLrol elemenL

How we can say XForms is device independent?
We can say LhaL xlorms ls devlce lndependenL because lL ls used Lo separaLe daLa from presenLaLlon
and we can use daLa models for all devlces uslng xlorms we can cusLomlze presenLaLlon for dlfferenL

How Xforms is used to separate data from presentation?
uslng xlorms we can perform boLh Lask Lo deflne daLa and Lo dlsplay daLa@o deflne daLa xlorms uses
xML and Lo dlsplay daLa xlorms uses P@ML or xP@ML
uslng xlorms we can separaLe daLa loglc of a form from lLs presenLaLlon

How you define XForms Processor?
We use XForms Processor inside the browser to submit XForm data to the target.
I have you example show how to submit data into XML.
Eaxmple:
person~
Iname~vivekIname~
mname~kumarmname~
lname~agarwallname~

How we can say XForms is succesors of HTML forms?
WlLh uslng P@ML forms web appllcaLlon are become able Lo accepL lnpuL from userWe can say LhaL
P@ML forms ls a parL of P@ML sLandardnowweb user Lry Lo solve complex LransacLlons buL P@ML
sLandard does achleve LhaL Lask
We can achleve LhaL Lask uslng xlorms8ecause uslng xlorms handle a rlchermore secure and devlce

xlorms are supporLed by all fuLure browsers

an you tell us if it is possible to use your XForms?
%he XForms engine is implemented in two processors. Since processors can be called through a
Java API, the XForms engine could be used stand-alone and, say, called directly Irom a Servlet.
