To open the XML, all the items in this main window must be specified. Please consult the table below:

Item	What does it mean?
XML:	XML to be edited. It should be placed under: (docBase)/WEB-INF/classes directory (or its sub-directory), because the generated XML will be loaded by our Java API.
Validation resource:	The property file which lists the classes. These classes are used to validate the request parameter from the CGI FORM. This property file is shipped with the distribution of our Java API. It should be placed under: (docBase)/WEB-INF/classes directory, because it is required also for our Java API. In case of FormGenerator API, it will be: (docBase)/WEB-INF/classes/FormValueVerifierFactory.properties
Escape resource:	The property file which lists the classes. These classes are used to escape the String to be inserted. This property file is shipped with the distribution of our Java API. It should be placed under: (docBase)/WEB-INF/classes directory, because it is required also for our Java API. In case of FormGenerator API, it will be: (docBase)/WEB-INF/classes/FormValueEscaperFactory.properties
Break resource:	The property file which lists the classes. These classes are used to insert the tags for the line break. This property file is shipped with the distribution of our Java API. It should be placed under: (docBase)/WEB-INF/classes directory, because it is required also for our Java API. In case of FormGenerator API, it will be: (docBase)/WEB-INF/classes/FormValueBreakerFactory.properties

All these files are included in the examples of our Java API. So, please download your favorite example and start with it. If you are working on the example at:

The first example of FormGenerator API

and extract the distribution file of this example in:

/home/foo

please specify the following files in the main window:

/home/foo/formgen_ex_1/formgen_1/WEB-INF/classes/xml/cgi_en.xml
/home/foo/formgen_ex_1/formgen_1/WEB-INF/classes/FormValueVerifierFactory.properties
/home/foo/formgen_ex_1/formgen_1/WEB-INF/classes/FormValueEscaperFactory.properties
/home/foo/formgen_ex_1/formgen_1/WEB-INF/classes/FormValueBreakerFactory.properties
