Now how can i view emp1 data which is in my path location by using app,document_id data in Orbeon

Forms.

Hi Kiran,

I am not sure to follow you: what are you trying to do? What is this table you're talking about? Are you trying to implement the Form Runner persistence API?

Hi Alessandro,

I have a task like,No need to save data into a database but i have to view the information(data) from xml file which is in path location(E:\kiran\emp.xml).

(I have to retrieve the data from a custom table.)

First i have to hit the database,from there i have to take the path location by using form name and some id value.

Is this possible by orbeon.

Thanks for reply.

Thanks,
E Kiran Kumar.

Hi Kiran,

When users fill out forms, data is saved in a database. You can configure what database is used, but you can't, out-of-the-box, have Orbeon Forms save the files in "straight" XML files on disk. However, you could have Orbeon Forms save the data in a database, and whenever you need the XML as files, extract them from the database. Is this something that could work for you?
