Extract parameter from URL of the form

First i create a form using form builder and i publish it. I copy the url since it ll present in some other place (say a plain html page)

e.g http://localhost:9090/orbeon/fr/URLTest/URLTestForm/new/ is the url of my form

now i ll pass some query string through url like

http://localhost:9090/orbeon/fr/URLTest/URLTestForm/new/?value=xyz

When my form is getting initialized i have to get the value of attribute "value" and store it in a textbox in my form .

Please anyone provide a step-by-step methodology of doin it !!

Re: Extract parameter from URL of the form

Put this in your model:

<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done">
<xforms:setvalue ref="instance('instance')/node" value="xxforms:get-request-parameter('value')"/>
</xforms:action>

You are getting the "value" parameter from the URL and inserting it to the ref that you specify.

Re: Extract parameter from URL of the form

Ethan is not talking about the page-flow.xml

Insert the portion of code he gave you in your xform model

<xforms:model>
</xforms:model>
