Forms stored and filled with xml data files

Aseph
Hi.

First of all, I have to said that orbeon is something new to me, so I am going to ask you obvious things.

What i want to is to be able to:
a) fill a form and save the information in a local file (download a file with the forms data)
b) access to the form and upload the file to fill the form and keep working whit it.

I heve copied the files so tell me all my errors too.


After reading Orbeon docs and examples I have done this, using "copy and paste" from axmaples:


***> page-flow.xml

<page id="pg_1" path-info="/frm_xml/frm" view="frm.xhtml" />

----- x -----

***> my xml-form (file called mod_form.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ship>
        <person>
                <name/>
                <age/>
        </person>
        <ticket>
                <price/>
        </ticket>
</ship>

I am lost and I do not know how to resolve this situation, so any example will be welcome.

Thanks for your help,
