[daisy] Custom part editor - first attempt

Hello

Can  you spend just a few words, and only indicate in short - whether it 
is possible - and which methods might make sense to use?


The problem at hand:

I plan to use the forms binding to "stream" the contents of a Daisy part 
into a Cocoon form. The part should be of text/xml.
In my first attempt, I see that the Daisy load operations only load 
single fields - that is: the complete contents of the part is totally 
filled into each field.
The reason might be that Daisy only provides a method that loads the 
complete part data into one form field.

I hope it is possible to use the Cocoon forms binding framework, but I 
do not know yet how to activate this from within a custom part editor...


Can you indicate the necessary actions to take - or at least what I 
should be aware of?

Or do I have to use flow control and then pass the part data to the 
Cocoon pipeline to get the forms binding to work? 

But then again: How can I communicate or use some binding manager to
1. fill the form fields (do I have to parse the part content myself or 
can I let the Cocoon forms binding do it? )
2. get validation results from the binding framework
3. tell Daisy to save each form into a part if no validation problems 
remain.



thank you
