Error 403 when saving an XForm - J2EE + Orbeon

bgawel wrote

Hello,

I'm trying to integrate a J2EE application with Orbeon (separate deployment).
I went through the Wiki site http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-with-java-applications and was able to display an XForm generated by JSP in Form Runner.

However when I try to save the rendered form in Form Runner, I get an error in the popup window: "There was an error communication with the database. Please contact the application administrator".
The Orbeon's log file (attached - orbeon403.zip) shows the error 403: "Access to the specified resource () has been forbidden".
It tries to put data via the link:
method: "PUT", URL: "http://localhost:8080/[my-application-context]/fr/service/persistence/crud/Test/Form0/data/e084344ae29a0962a10116956016c5fd/data.xml

Why is this happening?

So you are producing a Form Runner-compatible form in your own web
app, and forwarding that to the Orbeon Forms app, si that right?

Could you describe your use case in details? Could you instead just
redirect to a Form Runner URL, e.g.:

/orbeon/fr/acme/myform/new

Yes, I produce a Form Runner-compatible form,
then I use JSP to decorate the form,
and finally I forward the form to Orbeon via the Orbeon Forms XForms filter
-> the form is rendered by Form Runner but the Form Runner's buttons don't work.
So I cannot just forward to /orbeon/fr/acme/myform/new because I want to use JSP to produce XForms.

I was wrong thinking that it could work because according to your own words: http://orbeon-forms-ops-users.24843.n4.nabble.com/Rendering-a-for-created-by-form-builder-in-a-Java-application-td3452944.html#a3459358 (if I had found it earlier, I wouldn't have raised this issue) the above configuration makes only sense for plain XForms.

But let say:
a) if I would really like to do what I described above, then the best way to achieve this would be to provide my own buttons or patch the Runner's buttons, am I right?
b) I wouldn't decorate XForms with JSP but I would link to Runner's pages. How could I make Form Runner redirect to my application having a form submitted/saved?

Coming back to the problem:
I have created a simple servlet that forwards requests /fr/* to Orbeon, so when Runner requests [my-application-context]/fr/service/persistence/crud/[app-name]/[form-name]/data/[document-id]/data.xml on save, it is forwarded to orbeon/fr/service/persistence/crud/[app-name]/[form-name]/data/[document-id]/data.xml and the data is persisted.

But can somebody give me a clue how to make Runner redirect to my application after submission?
