FormBuilder service test fails but works in form

I created a simple service using the Form Builder gui. When I click the
Test button in the service dialog I get a 404 HTML response. Yet when I
test the entire form my service works. Why does the test feature fail?

Also, how are you supposed to test your service with specific test data
in the request body?

I noticed the builder is labeled "preview", when is the final release?
(3.9, 4.0?)

On a side note, when I get HTTP errors in Orbeon the log doesn't show
the url it was trying to access; this makes it frustrating to debug. I
see error dumps like this:

Nowhere do I see the url for the request. Is there a reason for this?
Also, it would improve readability if instead of 4 errors messages you
just log once and put the different groups of information on new lines.

Administrator

Arlo,

Yes, the Test button in the HTTP Service dialog just sends the XML
body you specified. It is currently not populated by the current
values of the controls, for example. Maybe that explains why you are
getting an error in this case?

To test the service beyond that you can use the Form Builder Test
button, which runs the whole form and will also run whatever services
you have defined.

The "Preview" label will be gone in Orbeon Forms 3.9.

Thanks for the feedback on logging. In the meanwhile you can log more
submission information by adding the submission-details token to
oxf.xforms.logging.debug in your properties-local.xml:

<property as="xs:NMTOKENS" name="oxf.xforms.logging.debug"
value="document model submission control event action analysis
server html submission-details"/>

-Erik
