Having trouble using a component inside an other component

We are using xbl to write our components which has its own javascript file. These components are then used in xform definition files.

Case 1: WORKS
Custom component1 Custom component1 used in xform definition

Case 2: DOES NOT WORK
Custom component1 containing component2 Component 1 used in xform definition Result: Component1 is rendered properly but I see component2 tag definition in html. Basically component2 is not processed. Both components have same name space.

Case 3: WORKS
Custom component1 containing component2 Component1 used in xform definition Component2 used in xform definition Result: Magically component2 is displayed twice one from component1 and other from xform definition.

Case 3 is not what I want. I want component1 to containing a reusable custom component2 but can't seem to make it work. Any help is appreciated. I would be more than happy to provide further information. Thank you.

Binesh,

See my response to the thread linked below (I think we can keep the
discussion in that thread, since this is the same topic):

Re: Having trouble using a component inside an other component

Thanks for your reply.

I have created two components separately i.e two xbl files.

<fr:image-manager>
image-manager.xbl
image-manager.js

This is how <fr:image-manager> looks
<xbl:xbl xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
<xbl:binding id="fr-banner-manager" element="fr|banner-manager">
<xbl:template xxbl:transform="oxf:unsafe-xslt">
<xsl:transform version="2.0">
<xsl:import href="oxf:/oxf/xslt/utils/xbl.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xforms:group xbl:attr="model context ref bind" xxbl:scope="outer">

<fr:image-preview />

</xforms:group>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
</xbl:template>
</xbl:binding>
</xbl:xbl>

I am unable to use <fr:image-preview> inside <fr:image-manager>. You think this should work? We might be doing something silly.

Hi Binesh,

Yes, this should work. For instance, as a "user" of the <fr:tabview>,
you can place a <fr:button> in a tab. Or as an author of the
<fr:alert-dialog>, in the XBL code implementing the <fr:alert-dialog>,
you can use an <fr:button>. This reminds me that it was not possible
at some point in the past; are you using Orbeon Forms 3.8 or a recent
nightly build?

Re: Re: Having trouble using a component inside an other component

I am able to use built in components. I am not able to use custom components that I created. I am using 3.7.2-SNAPSHOT.

Thanks

Binesh,

The XBL engine doesn't make a difference between components that ship
with Orbeon Forms, or your own. They are all treated the same. So
again, I suggest you create a simple test case to reproduce this, so
we can have a look at it.

Re: Re: Re: Having trouble using a component inside an other component

Thanks for your suggestion Alessandro. Issue was with 3.7.1 release. I upgraded to latest 3.8 and it is working now.

Binesh,

Thank you for confirming this indeed works. For a second, you got me
worried there :).
