public final class XHTMLFormRenderer

extends java.lang.Object

A programming interface to the XHTML form fields and collection of form field. It will take a collection of form fields, ensure that the form has an action, the correct encoding type (fi "multipart/form-data" if there is a file upload field in the collection), and method (defaults to POST). If there is no submit button among all he fields, one will be created. Some common fields used by the form parser (media & mission) will be created with default values, unless specifically told not to.
