How can I get results from a search into xforms?

Hey,

I am trying to write a searchSite for my Xform. My data is stored in
an eXist-database. Now the user can make his query my filling out a
form. After he presses on "search" my search.xq (in exist) looks for
the data and returns it.
This works fine but my programm/site has a navigation that is included
to all pages.

When my search.xq returns the data, a new page comes up(the data is in
a table then).
But I want the rest of the site, too...

I tried to include XFORMS-Code into my "return" statement, but no
luck....

Any suggestions?

Do you use replace="all" in your submission element? Try using
replace="instance" and instance="result-instance", to replace just a
specific instance that will hold the search result.

Re: Re: Re: How can I get results from a search into xforms?

Sorry, not working...

My submission looks like:

<xforms:submission id="search" ref="instance('search-Data')"

resource="http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/dictionary/xquery/search.xq"

method="post"/>

when I press the "search" button my browser url looks like:

http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-server-submit

when I change it to:

<xforms:submission id="search" ref="instance('search-Data')"

resource="http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/dictionary/xquery/search.xq"

method="post" instance="search-result"/>

nothing happens.

Masen J, you can try :

<xforms:submission id="search" ref="instance('search-Data')"

resource="http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/dictionary/xquery/search.xq"
method="post"
replace="instance"
instance="search-result"/>

HTH, Marc

Hey;

Masen J, you can try :

<xforms:submission id="search" ref="instance('search-Data')"
             resource="http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/dictionary/xquery/search.xq"
              method="post"
              replace="instance"
              instance="search-result"/>

Well, this is what I did..but still not working...

Is it maybe because of "what" is returned... my search.xq does return a whole html page...the search.xq looks like this:

xquery version "1.0";

declare namespace exist = "http://exist.sourceforge.net/NS/exist";

declare namespace xmldb = "http://exist-db.org/xquery/xmldb";

declare namespace request="http://exist-db.org/xquery/request";

declare option exist:serialize "method=html media-type=text/html indent=yes";

let $sD := request:get-data()

let $coll1 := xmldb:xcollection('/db/dictionary/data')//entry

return

<html>

<table>

<thead>

<tr>

<th>Lemma</th>

<th>Meaning</th>

</tr>

</thead>

{

let $test :='child::*[./fn:name()=lemma]=Heno'

for $row in $sD/search/select

let $name := string($row/name)

let $value := string($row/value)

let $interpretAs := string($row/interpretAs)

let $operator := string($row/operator)

for $search at $count in

for $result in $coll1

where $result[child::*[./fn:name() = $name] = $value]

return $result

return

<tr>{if ($count mod 2) then (attribute {'bgcolor'} {'Lavender'}) else ()}

<td>{$count}</td>

<td>{$search/lemma}</td>

<td>{$search/root}</td>

<td>

<table>

{

for $repeatMeaning at $countMeaning in

for $meaning in $search/meaning

return $meaning

return

<tr>

<td>{$countMeaning}</td>

<td>{$repeatMeaning/description}</td>

</tr>

}

</table>

</td>

<td>{$search/category}

</td>

<!--

<td>{$search/meaning/description}</td>

<td>{$search/meaning/source/kindOfSource}</td>

<td>{$search/meaning/source/nameOfSource}</td>

<td>{$search/files/file}</td>-->

</tr>

}

</table>

</html>

Ok,

after I´ve deleted this line in my search.xq :

declare option exist:serialize "method=html media-type=text/html indent=yes";

my instance was filled with the htmlContent.

But what can I do with it?

Is it better to only the xml-Data into my result instance and create a new view that displays the content?

Please, this is too much for me...=(

THX´s for your help

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: How can I get results from a search into xforms?

ok, at least I have a plan...

If someone does know better, please let me know:

i) when my searchPage does the submission it should store the returned xml-data in a local result.xml

ii) the search submission also loads a results.xhtml that loads the results.xml data an put´s it into a table...

Is this ok?Or what do you think...

OH NO,

I think this is not gonna work...

If someone else overwrites the results.xml (there are more than one user)...

Please, can someone help me a little bit with the session-attributes...

I think I have to store the results sessionbased and I am still not very sure how this should work...=(

Can anyone please tell me how to get returned data from a xquery into my session-data?

@Erik

Some time ago you wrote to me:

BTW we have an xxforms:get-session-attribute() function in the nightly builds, and we will be adding an xxforms:set-session-attribute() as well soon. This could help you I think if you want to use the user's session to store language and other application-global preferences.

Can you give me an example how to use it?

THX

There is some new doc here:

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-functions

Just search for get-session-attribute() and set-session-attribute().

hi Masen,

What do you want exactly to achieve? To access just the search result,
you don't have to save it in the session scope. You can replace any
instance of your xforms with the XML result, so you can bind any
controls to it directly, use xforms:groups to display or hide parts of
your page depending of the ressult content, and so on. Also, you don't
have to build a new xforms page to display the results (but you can, of
course, if you want to). IMHO the easiest way is just to take xquery XML
output into a instance and access it directly.

Your query is returning HTML, which is fairly unusual. Instead, what I
would recommend is for the XQuery to return XML with "just the data",
to store that XML in an instance, and to have the HTML inside the
form. Does this make sense?
