The ZkFields plugin allows you to very quickly render forms for properties of domain objects, command beans and POGOs based on their type, name, etc. The plugin aims to:
- Use good defaults for fields.
- Support embedded properties of GORM domain classes.
The zkf:field tag will automatically handle embedded domain properties recursively:
<zkf:field bean="person" property="address"/>To make it more convenient when rendering lots of properties of the same bean you can use the zkf:with tag to avoid having to specify bean on any tags nested inside:
<zkf:with bean="person" viewmode="edit">
<zkf:field property="name"/>
<zkf:field property="address"/>
<zkf:field property="dateOfBirth"/>
</zkf:with>the zkf:with tag accepts an optional argument: viewmode. It accepts two values: edit and readonly. The default is edit. If readonly is set then all fields will be rendered as labels instead of inputs
