After googling around on this topic, it seems that there is no clean way of
doing this.
The initial community-accepted way I managed to find was using javascript
(Browser.execute(String)) to retrieve your data, store it in window.status
and then, a BrowserStatusText listener would get that value from the status
text. An example is here:
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/SWT-JFace-Eclipse/QueryDOMnodevalue.htm
On the other hand, by checking the Eclipse/SWT API, it seems that
Browser.evaluate(String) also got implemented along the way and, compared to
execute(String), it actually returns the value of the executed JavaScript so
you can use it directly. Documentation here:
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.…
So, to sum it up, use JS to document.getElementById(...) for each field in
the form and use their names+values to build the request performed by your
Finish button.
Hope this helps,
Eduard
P.S.: Can you post a screenshot of the wizard page containing the template's
form?

I remember well your initial recommendation. Thanks for it! The way of
using SWT browser directly was just rather a proof-of-concept of the
idea of having browser embedded inside the wizard. Now, the situation is
a little bit different. I do have:
- small http client code which logs into xwiki server if needed and
access the newly created page
- strip all not needed information from the newly created page and leave
just a form to fill the template data
- show such page in the browser embedded inside the wizard window and
allow user to fill the form.
That's what working. Now I would like to press Finish button get the
filled form from SWT browser (somehow!) and POST it to the xwiki server
to save the page with entered data. The problem is that if I use
getText() method on SWT browser it does not return page with filled data
and I don't see any other API which should support this.
So my question now is : do you have any idea how to get filled form page
from the browser back into my code?
Thanks a lot!
Karel

the page
is really created.
If you look at my first reply (with initial suggestions), you`ll see
that I suggested that the actual Save action when completing the
creation of a page should be performed by your wizard`s Finish button
(sending a HTTP request with all the parameters set), otherwise you mix
up the user by having 2 sets of buttons (XWiki`s and the wizard`s).
