Nested fields in form-widgets

[Levenimeux]

Hi all,

I'm trying (with my team) to build a new eCommerce webapp using OFBiz, and we're stuck with form-widgets, so here's the problem :

- Need : I have two related tables (many to many), Items and their categories, I need to display Items for each category a part using form-widgets. So definitely I need a nested loop to do so. Here's my question :
   --> How can we Iterate in a single field (in this case category) ?

Illustration :
<field>  //for each row we display all result rows of the inner field
      <field>
      </field>
      <field>
      </field>
</field> 

ThanX in advance :)

strikes me that the tree would be a way, maybe not as clean.

Hi Levenimeux,

If you are so stuck with form-widget,
then you might wanna use
<field><display description="${groovy: org.ofbiz.....foo(arg1, arg2,
...)}" also-hidden="false"/></field>
and use some groovy to get your data in whatever format you need,
you can have look at ProductDetail.groovy which creates js code in a
variable and then returns it.

or a better way is to not use form-widget for this.

ThanX everyone for your replies, I'll start first by trees to avoid passing through groovy documentation and see, then if the later is the only solution.... I'll try it and let you know :)

Ps : if you have a recommandation for the best groovy eBook let me know (I'm quite familliar with "in action" series)

Thank you for your help, Realy appriciate :)
