Adding pre-processing stage into send-workflow button in Orbeon XForms Form runner

I have a form in Orbeon Form runner where I needed to add external validation before submitting with 'workflow-send'. Can we add capability to 'workflow-send' button in properties-local.xml for that?

For the record, I have also implemented a button which does the validation and does certain actions when the validation results come back. So alternatively, can we add 'workflow-send' capability to that button of mine?

Hi,

you can configure which buttons are shown on which page, so perhaps you can add your functionality to the button that takes the user to the view page (workflow-review) and only show the workflow-send button on that page?

Beyond that, I'd like to know how you made your button do those things!

Groetjes,

Re: Re: Adding pre-processing stage into send-workflow button in Orbeon XForms Form runner

Following is the submission code that my button calls:

<xforms:submission id="validation-submission"

ref="instance('fr-form-instance')"

resource="http://localhost:8080/MyApp/OrbeonValidationServlet"

method="post" replace="instance" instance="validation-result">

<xforms:delete ev:event="xforms-submit" nodeset="//@v:*" />

<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-submit-done">

<xforms:insert nodeset="."

origin="instance('validation-result')/v:data/*" />

<xforms:dispatch name="fr-visit-all" targetid="error-summary" />

<xforms:refresh />

<xforms:dispatch name="fr-update" targetid="error-summary" />

<xforms:send submission="post-submission"

if="count(instance('validation-result')/v:global-errors/*)

= 0" />

<!-- xforms:send

if="count(instance('validation-result')/v:global-errors/*) = 0"

submission="fr-workflow-send-submission" / -->

</xforms:action>

</xforms:submission>

Basically, it sends model instance to a servlet and perform some actions based on its response: that is show errors if there are, call another action if not.

What I want to do is put this functionality before whatever workflow-send button does and invoke workflow-send if there are no errors returned. Alternatively of course, I can put that button in fr:buttons. But putting workflow-send actions to a custom button seems hard.

A way to do it maybe editing persistence-model.xml. However any change to it is not active.

Can anyone help me?
