Is it possible to call a service upon saving a form.

Hi all.  I wanted to see if anyone knew if it was possible to POST to a URL when the user clicks the built in form Save button.  If not, is there a way to have a button which triggers a save of the form to the persistence layer along with POSTing to a URL.

Paul

Paul,

Out of the box, no. It is possible to:

* save to the persistence layer
* send an email
* produce a PDF
* save to Alfresco
* go to a confirmation page

I added an RFE for this:

Michael,

This is configured through properties (in your properties-local.xml).
The following properties will impact all your forms, but you can setup
those properties so they only impact specific forms or group of forms.
The first one only shows the "Submit" button. The second one says that
on submit, we want to have "go" button (which takes the user to
another URL). Finally the third on provide the URL. Here is a static
string (hence the quote inside the quote), and you can have there an
XPath expression which dynamically determines the page to go to.

<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.*" value="submit"/>
<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.submit.buttons.*.*" value="go"/>
<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.submit.go.uri-xpath.*.*"
value="'http://www.orbeon.com/'"/>

To learn more about those properties, see:

Hi Alex, this might be a newbe question ... but how would you extend that to only apply to a specific form or group of forms?  I'm asking because it relates to one of my other questions that is very similar.  Thanx.

Michael,

Are you saying that when users have finished filling out the form
foo/bar, you want them to go to
http://www.test.com/testapp/app.do?app=foo&form=bar?

Rod,

You can limit the scope of those properties by using something other
than *.* at the end of the name of the property. In general you would
use this to limit them to a specific app/form, or to all the forms in
a given app. You can read more about this in the short section
"Wildcards in properties" on:

Michael,

The following will return the document id:
xxforms:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/document. So you could have
something like:

<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.submit.go.uri-xpath.*.*"
    value="concat('http://www.orbeon.com/',
xxforms:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/document)"/>

When using undocumented internal instances (like
xxforms:instance('fr-parameters-instance')), you'll want to be a bit
more cautious when upgrading to a new version of Orbeon Forms, but
hey, we're not Apple ;), and won't stop you from using those if it
makes sense for you.

Hi Alex,

I am running Orbeon Forms 3.8 on Tomcat 6.0.20. I have build war file from "3_8_0_201005141841-0-g3fb94bb" tag.

As I want to call the service upon saving a form, I followed your post. I updated my properties-local.xml file with following values.

<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.*" value="submit"/> 
<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.submit.buttons.*.*" value="go"/> 
<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.submit.go.uri-xpath.*.*"
value="'http://www.orbeon.com/'"/> 

So, when I click on submit button, I get "Your information has been submitted, thank you." message. And then when I click OK, I got error message. "An error has occured". When I click on Show Details on that error pop up, I see "[No error message provided]".

But in the log I see null pointer exception. Here is the stack trace for the same.
