Form Builder save button not putting form in DB

Clicking the Orbeon Form Builder "save" button does not seem to put a new form,
or the revisions to an existing form, into the database. It seems the
unpublished form is persisted somewhere since I can stop Form Builder, restart
it, and see the new form in the list.

I have Orbeon Forms configured to use an external eXist database. I can build
a new form in Form Builder, click the "save" button, see the "Document saved
successfully" message, query the database and NOT find the new form. I do not
see the form in the eXist database until I "publish" the form; then, it
appears.

Looking at the documetation, I see a way to configure the actions of the Form
Runner "save" button, but I did not find a way to configure the Form Builder
"save" button.

Where does Form Builder store the unpublished form from session to session?

Is there a way to tell the Form Builder "save" button to put the form into the
eXist database?

I am using Orbeon Forms 3.9.1.201202031753.

Thank you.

Charles,

There is a difference between saving and publishing.

When saving, the form definition is stored as data for the orbeon/builder app.

When publishing, the form definition is stored as form.xhtml and is
ready to be used as a form definition by Form Runner.

In both cases, the data is stored into eXist (or the persistence
implementation you have chosen).
