Hi Alex,

   As we can add external JS in Orbeon form which will do the client side validations. Simile way, based on some user performed action, I want to make an asynchronous AJAX call to server and update the value of a particular field with the data returned from server without refreshing the complete form. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hi Hemant,

 

What do you mean by "make an Ajax call"? What would you like that Ajax call to do? In general, with Orbeon Forms, you're not explicit writing JavaScript that makes JavaScript calls, but instead rely on the engine to figure when calls to the servers have to made in order to refresh the page.

Hi Alex,

   I am not writing the complete X-Form by hand. Instead, I am creating the form using the form builder tool and want to  edit the generated code to include external CSS/JS. If I am able to include external JS and trigger event using the JS. Can’t I use the same JS to write AJAX?

With Orbeon Forms, you wouldn't do this with an Ajax request you hand-code in JavaScript. Instead, if writing the XForms "by hand", you'd use an xf:submission, and if creating your form in Form Builder, you'd use the Services and Actions. In which case are you? And does the above make sense? Of course, just let us know if you need any additional pointers.

This thread seems to have halted without coming to a conclusion.

I understood the OP to be looking for a mechanism (referred to as "AJAX call") to PUSH data from client into Orbeon form elements instead of PULL data from client (using server side Services and Actions in Orbeon form).

For example what is the recommended way of creating a client side simulator (PHP based in my case) to flood Orbeon forms with simulated data input from a simulated user community? Testing Orbeon to extremes.

Selenium scripts?

Thanks.

Subject: RE: [orbeon] AJAX calls

 

Hi Alex,

   I saw the Action and Services in Orbeon. However the scope of Actions is limited to only four actions (values change, Value change on load, Activation, form load). So I am trying to add my own Java script in my form. It’s a simple test form just for verification. I am able to Add JS internally as well as externally. However there are few issues I am facing:

 

1.       Initially I just added an Alert (not within any function) and did not call it. However it was automatically being called on load. Not sure why.

2.       Later I added the alert inside a function. Now it’s not working onload. I tried calling it onclick of a button. However it’s not working at all.

 

Could you please suggest what I am missing? I have given the code in my email below. Thanks.

Hi Hemant,

 

Sure, you can write JavaScript, just like in any other web page. But I'd recommend you first try to use the Services & Actions feature, this way you won't have to write JavaScript, the service will be called from the Orbeon Forms server, so you can keep it behind a firewall.

Thanks Alex. I am able to do that now with jquery. 

Apart from that, in the following documentation, I saw the below code for client side JS. Could you please help how this can be done in form?

Hi Hemant,

You can't add an onclick on an <xf:trigger>, and it is better to keep your code separate and not to change what Form Builder produced. The easiest is to add, in Form Builder's Control Settings dialog a custom class on the control, say "my-trigger". Then, you can have JavaScript that does:

ORBEON.jQuery('.my-trigger button').on('click', function() { alert('Clicked!'); })

If you're using a version of Orbeon Forms before 4.9, you can just refer to jQuery with $ instead of ORBEON.jQuery; more on this on:

Hi Hemant,

 

Sure, you can write JavaScript, just like in any other web page. But I'd recommend you first try to use the Services & Actions feature, this way you won't have to write JavaScript, the service will be called from the Orbeon Forms server, so you can keep it behind a firewall.

Hi Alex,

   I am not writing the complete X-Form by hand. Instead, I am creating the form using the form builder tool and want to  edit the generated code to include external CSS/JS. If I am able to include external JS and trigger event using the JS. Can’t I use the same JS to write AJAX?

Hi Hemant,

 

With Orbeon Forms, you wouldn't do this with an Ajax request you hand-code in JavaScript. Instead, if writing the XForms "by hand", you'd use an xf:submission, and if creating your form in Form Builder, you'd use the Services and Actions. In which case are you? And does the above make sense? Of course, just let us know if you need any additional pointers.

Hi Alex,

   As we can add external JS in Orbeon form which will do the client side validations. Simile way, based on some user performed action, I want to make an asynchronous AJAX call to server and update the value of a particular field with the data returned from server without refreshing the complete form. Is this possible? Thanks.

Hemant

Bump.

This thread seems to have halted without coming to a conclusion.

I understood the OP to be looking for a mechanism (referred to as "AJAX call") to PUSH data from client into Orbeon form elements instead of PULL data from client (using server side Services and Actions in Orbeon form).

For example what is the recommended way of creating a client side simulator (PHP based in my case) to flood Orbeon forms with simulated data input from a simulated user community? Testing Orbeon to extremes.

Selenium scripts?

Thanks.
