I am trying to overcome Chiba functioning in a clustered
environment issue by storing XFormsDocument (Document) and not the whole ServletAdapter
in session (doGet) and then trying to recreate container+model etc in doPost. I
have succeeded for simple forms but I have encountered a problem when I have
tables because of Repeat elements.
I would therefore like to ask some more information on how
Repeat works.
The way I see it in the code, the first time the Repeat
entries are created, a repeat prototype is stored (storeRepeatPrototype method in
class Repeat) ; then
repeat entries are removed and recreated and then these repeat
entry elements are initialized.
My problem is that even though the form is displayed
successfully the first time (with tables appearing properly) when I press
submit button
and the model is probably rebuilt, Chiba assigns a
RepeatEntry type in an element which used to be Output. This way I get a class
cast exception
in method getRepeat of RepeatEntry class and Chiba fails.
Could you point me to any direction on how I could overcome
this problem or explain to me a little more in detail how Repeat works.
Any suggestion even far-fetched would be a plus for me
Thank you.
Giota
