Example for xxforms:get-request-parameter

Hi there,

Is there a simple example on how to use

xxforms:get-request-parameter
?? I'm assuming this allows me to query a value of a parameter passed
in the URL? 



My objective is to pass the name of an xml filename that would be used
to load the initial instance data from. What would the syntax look like
to use this dynamic value in the following code



     <xforms:instance src=???







Thanks in advance.

You can't use this function on xforms:instance/@src, or any XPath
functions for that matter.

What you can do is react to xforms-ready or xforms-model-construct done:

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-ng#xforms-initialization

Then the submission can call the function, e.g.:

<xforms:submission id="load-submission" method ="get"
resource="oxf:/foo/bar/resource-{xxxforms:get-request-
parameter('lang')}.xml"
replace="instance" instance="my-instance"/>

Re: Re: Example for xxforms:get-request-parameter

Hi Erik,

Here is my sample code

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" xmlns:xxforms="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xforms">
    <head>
        <title>XForms Hello</title>
        <xforms:model>
            <xforms:send submission="data-submission" ev:event="xforms-ready" />
            <xforms:instance id="data-instance">
                <data xmlns="">
                    <element />
                </data>
            </xforms:instance>

            
            <xforms:submission id="data-submission" replace="instance" instance="data-instance" resource=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="file://///192.168.10.57/applications/j2ee-modules/orbeon/WEB-INF/resources/apps/xforms-hello3/{xxforms:get-request-parameter('lang')}.xml">"file://///192.168.10.57/applications/j2ee-modules/orbeon/WEB-INF/resources/apps/xforms-hello3/{xxforms:get-request-parameter('lang')}.xml" method="get" />

            

        </xforms:model>
    </head>
    <body>
    this is the body
    <xforms:input ref="instance('data-instance')/element" incremental="true">
            <xforms:label>PO</xforms:label>
        </xforms:input>
    </body>
</html>

I am trying to pass a URL with (the parameter) in browser of

http://192.168.10.57:8080/orbeon/xforms-hello3/view.xhtml?lang=foo

The contents of Foo.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data>
<element>1234</element>
</data>

But the PO text box is empty. If I replace the "dynamic" with the "hardcoded" then I get the expected value in the textbox.

I think I'm taking you too literally or I'm most likey am not understanding something. What is wrong with my usage of get-request-parameter statement??

Thanks,

Fleming

As Erik said, right now you can only use
xxxforms:get-request-parameter() inside a handler for xforms-ready or
xforms-model-construct-done. Since you have a handler for
xforms-ready, you can call xxxforms:get-request-parameter() there,
store the result in a node of an instance, and then make a reference
to that node in the AVT you have in the "resource" attribute of your
submission.

I am not sure your file URL is correct. Why does it start with "/////

Re: Re: Re: Re: Example for xxforms:get-request-parameter

Hi Eric,

It's a networked resource, and that's the IP of the computer. It works, though when it's a hardcoded path. I probably don't understand how to use the get-request function. I'm hoping you can provide a literal example.

Thanks.

I see, makes sense. What version of Orbeon Forms are you using? get-

Also, try to enable logging and check the logs to see what happens:

</html>

I am trying to pass a URL with (the parameter) in browser of

http://192.168.10.57:8080/orbeon/xforms-hello3/view.xhtml?lang=foo

The contents of Foo.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data>
    <element>1234</element>
</data>

But the PO text box is empty. If I replace the "dynamic" with the "hardcoded" then I get the expected value in the textbox.

I think I'm taking you too literally or I'm most likey am not understanding something. What is wrong with my usage of get-request-parameter statement??

Thanks,

Fleming

You can't use this function on xforms:instance/@src, or any XPath functions for that matter.

What you can do is react to xforms-ready or xforms-model-construct done:

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-ng#xforms-initialization

Then the submission can call the function, e.g.:

<xforms:submission id="load-submission" method ="get"
    resource="oxf:/foo/bar/resource-{xxxforms:get-request-parameter('lang')}.xml"
    replace="instance" instance="my-instance"/>

This function was not yet implemented in 3.6. Try a nightly build:

Oh? That would explain everything. I must've been reading the wrong changelog. :-)

Hi Eric,

It's a networked resource, and that's the IP of the computer. It works, though when it's a hardcoded path. I probably don't understand how to use the get-request function. I'm hoping you can provide a literal example.

Thanks.
