Dynamic dropdown not load data

Could you please help me why a dynamic dropdown doesn't load data from my web service

- Here is web service:

@RequestMapping(value="/country", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String country() {
try{
return "<countries><country abbreviation=\"CA\" name=\"Canada\"/></countries>";
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw ServiceException.wrap(ex);
}
}

- Here is web service result by RESTClient:

<countries><country abbreviation="CA" name="Canada"/></countries>

- Here is dropdown properties:
Please note dropdown successfully calls the web service however it doesn't show the data

Resource URL: http://localhost:9090/smartform/admin/public/RefWService/country
Items : /countries/country
name: @name
value: @abbreviation

Hi Pouyan,

Everything looks good, from what I can see, so it is hard to say. Do
you get any error in the orbeon.log?

Re: Dynamic dropdown not load data

Thank you Alex,

I got an error on log file
2015-03-28 17:07:20,996 ERROR XFormsServer - |Body received with non-XML media type for replace="instance": text/plain |

then I have added content type=application/xml to my web service and it fixed the problem

@RequestMapping(produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE,
value="/country", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody String country() {
try{
return "<countries><country abbreviation=\"CA\" name=\"Canada\"/></countries>";
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw ServiceException.wrap(ex);
}
}

Re: Dynamic dropdown not load data

Hi Alex

I have added second dynamic dropdown "state" and connected to "country" drop down , I followed the instruction in
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xbl-components/databound-select1

The issue I have now is the state drop down not calling the state web service on country change drop down
it seems onchange event not trigger on country drop down change

if I hardcode country value in resource url ("state?country-key=canada") of state dropdown I can get the state values that means the web service and dropdown works fine

Here is my code:

<xf:model id="fr-form-model" xxf:expose-xpath-types="true">
.......
<xf:instance id="country-state-instance">
<databound-select1>
<country>canada</country>
<state/>
</databound-select1>
</xf:instance>
</xf:model>
............

<xh:td>

<fr:databound-select1 ref="country" id="plh_personal_information_country-control"
appearance="minimal"
resource="http://localhost:9090/smartform/admin/public/RefWService/country"
bind="plh_personal_information_country-bind">
<xf:label ref="$form-resources/plh_personal_information_country/label"/>
<xf:hint ref="$form-resources/plh_personal_information_country/hint"/>
<xf:alert ref="$fr-resources/detail/labels/alert"/>
<xf:itemset ref="/countries/country">
<xf:label ref="@label"/>
<xf:value ref="@key"/>
</xf:itemset>
</fr:databound-select1>
</xh:td>
<xh:td>
<fr:databound-select1 ref="state" id="plh_personal_information_state-control"
appearance="minimal"
resource="http://localhost:9090/smartform/admin/public/RefWService/state?country-key={../country}"
bind="plh_personal_information_state-bind">
<xf:label ref="$form-resources/plh_personal_information_state/label"/>
<xf:hint ref="$form-resources/plh_personal_information_state/hint"/>
<xf:alert ref="$fr-resources/detail/labels/alert"/>

<xf:itemset ref="/states/state">
<xf:label ref="@label"/>
<xf:value ref="@key"/>
</xf:itemset>
</fr:databound-select1>
</xh:td>

Hi Pouyan,

It is hard to say what's wrong with that code without being able to run it. See the example linked below, which does something very similar, with 3 dropdowns (state -> city -> zip code).

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/resources-packaged/xbl/orbeon/databound-select1/databound-select1-unittest.xhtml

Maybe you can see what it does, and figure why things are not working in your case. If not, could you update your example to use the same services used by that example, so it would run independently from your services, create a minimal example using those services that reproduces the problem, and attach the full source of that example.
