External integration?

Hello.

I am brand new to Orbeon, and have a question concerning external data.

I would like to be able to update a GPS location on a schedule (say every
minute or so).

Is there a way to insert the data into the form while the form is being
rendered, or perhaps a way to poll a service on a fixed schedule?

Thanks for your help,

Bruce.

Bruce,

Assuming the form is loaded in a web browser, you can write a
JavaScript timer that dispatches a custom polling event.

We will be implementing xforms:dispatch/@delay soon, which will allow
you to do this without JavaScript. However this too will require a
browser window to be open.

Hi Eric.

Thanks for the information.

I think I need more reading. Is there a standalone version of Orbeon that I could either embed into my application, or that I could extend with my own code (java or .net)?

Thanks,

Bruce.

Bruce,

Not sure what you mean by "standalone version", but at the moment,
Orbeon is available as a Java WAR file. Orbeon Forms It is written
mostly in Java on the server and JavaScript on the client, with a
series of XML-based languages like XSLT and XPL used as well.
