Form preview doesn't get request parameters

pumbosha
Hi,

I have following problem with form preview.
In my xforms code I use get-request-parameter() method:

<xf:action ev:event="xforms-ready" ev:observer="fr-form-model" if="true()">
    <xf:setvalue ref="instance('fr-form-instance')/*/*[name() = 'valueFromGet']"
                                 value="xxf:get-request-parameter('valueFromGet')"/>
</xf:action>

and It works correctly when i launch formRunner: I mean the value of get parameter: 'valueFromGet' is loading do control named: 'valueFromGet'. The problem is appearing when user clicks 'preview'. In that case control 'valueFromGet' is empty. I don't know why get-request-parameter doesn't work in preview mode.

regards,
Tom

I ran into this behavior recently also. 

The problem appears to live at:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/resources/forms/orbeon/builder/form/model.xml#L394

Query string parameters simply aren't passed along from the form being edited to the preview. To solve this I think we'd need another function similar to xxf:get-request-parameter that simply returns a copy of the query string. I would imagine something like that should live near:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/main/scala/org/orbeon/oxf/xforms/function/xxforms/RequestFunction.scala#L43

and also be registered around:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/main/scala/org/orbeon/oxf/xforms/library/XXFormsIndependentFunctions.scala#L45

Hopefully one of the developers will respond and let us know if this is a reasonable thing to do.

Here's a patch that potentially fixes this issue (only minimally tested).

I solved this problem by adding if statement to action:

<xf:action ev:event="xforms-ready" ev:observer="fr-form-model" if="xxf:get-request-parameter('valueFromGet')">
    <xf:setvalue ref="instance('fr-form-instance')/*/*[name() = 'valueFromGet']"
                                 value="xxf:get-request-parameter('valueFromGet')"/>
</xf:action>
