Are multiple models allowed in an XForms application.

Hello,

I'm using the orbeon-3.6.0.200712061930 version of Orbeon with Tomcat
5.5 on Windows XP (SP2) and from what I've seen to-date it looks like a
very nice piece of work.

However, as all intrepid (reckless) developers do, I skimmed the getting
started tutorials (bookcast) as far as I needed to get the page-flow
document in place and renamed my complex XForm document to 'view.xhtml'
and pointed my browser at the right URL and...

BANG, I got an error: Cannot find bind for id: fact_file_object_name

I have checked and double checked the document and the xf:bind mentioned
in the error does exist. Now, due to the nature of the content I will be
editing via this application, my example form has multiple xf:model
elements. If I re-order the xf:model elements, sure enough, I get the
same error but for a different binding.

I also tried hacking the bookcase example and got that to break by
sticking in another xforms:model in front of the original one.

Is Orbeon Forms supposed to support multiple models in a single XHTML
document?

If not, then I can re-organise the application and shoe-horn all the
instances, binds and submissions into a single model. But I'd rather not
if I didn't have too.

If this problem is of interest to you I can send you and example to play
with, but it should be straight forward enough to replicate.

Yes, multiple XForms models are supported. But often when you are in
the context of a given model, you don't see IDs declared in other
models. Maybe you have a bind ID fact_file_object_name declared in a
model and are trying to use it while in another model. Could that be
the case?
