Form Builder: form save location

When creating new forms using the Form Builder I was able to succesfully save the forms, according to the message on my Form Builder screen. Later I discovered where they were actually saved: in the embedded eXist database.

How can I change the location where these forms are saved? I'd like to know how to save it on the file system or in an external eXist database. Where are the settings to configure this?

I am using nightly build Orbeon Forms 3.6.0.200806051534.

Pieter and others,

I have also been thinking about this.
Cant the forms be saved in the file system or some specified location from where one might do some post-processing?

For now, you can't save to the filesystem. There is a pluggable REST-
based persistence API, which implements reading from the filesystem,
but not yet writing.

To change the location of eXist, check RESOURCES/config/properties.xml
and change:

<property as="xs:anyURI" name="oxf.fr.persistence.service.exist.uri"
value="/exist/rest/db"/>

E.g. to:

<property as="xs:anyURI" name="oxf.fr.persistence.service.exist.uri"
value="http://foo.com/exist/rest/db"/>
