Migration from 3.7 to 3.8CE - xforms:submit inside fr:tab - bug?

Hi all,

are xforms:submit controls legal content inside fr:tab when using
orbeon 3.8CE? Can anybody give me a short working example of
xforms:submit buttons inside fr:tab?

Background:

Trying to migrate my orbeon forms app from 3.7 to 3.8CE led me into
some trouble concerning xforms:submit elements nested into a fr:tab
element. Using 3.7, i used widget:tabs where each of the tabs
contained a xhtml:table with some xforms:submit buttons. Migrating to
3.8, i replaced the widget:tabs by fr:tabview/fr:tab. After that
change, the xforms:submit buttons didn't cause any action any more,
and the log told me:

xforms:submit - submission does not refer to an existing
xforms:submission element, ignoring action {submission id: "submMain"}

This info was quite misleading: the solution was moving the
xforms:submit element out of the fr:tabview element (in fact, not
really a good solution, because the tab view is quite useful to group
xforms controls...).

So i wonder if this is a bug or if i made any mistake? Is there any
other way to to put xforms:submit buttons into a tabview when using
3.8CE?

Any help is appreciated...

PS: When searching what was wrong with my xforms:submission, i found a
difference between the XForms 1.1 Candidate recommendation and the
3.8CE behaviour. http://www.w3.org/TR/xforms11/#ui-submit says that
xforms:submit@submission attribute is optional, but orbeon 3.8CE seems
to declare it mandatory - omitting it currently throws an error.

short test with nightly CE and PE build - problem occurs in both of them, too.

Here's a sandbox example demonstrating the problem. The form contains two fr:tabs with identical content and three xforms:submit buttons referencing the same xforms:submission (one outside the fr:tabview, and one inside each fr:tab). Only the xforms:submit button outside of the fr:tab works.

PS: The XForms 1.1 Candidate Recommendation says that xforms:instance is author-optional; but if the xforms:instance is omitted (as i did in the test case, because there's no need for an xforms:instance), i receive an error page with the following message:

org.orbeon.saxon.tinytree.TinyDocumentImpl cannot be cast to org.orbeon.saxon.dom4j.NodeWrapper

Florian,

This is now fixed.

On missing xforms:instance element, this sample works for me:

hmm - true... seems the error is due to a fault in my example - using a
xforms:submit control seems to presume the existence of an
xforms:instance, so the error occurs because there's no instance for the
xforms:submit control in my example.

It might be that not all code is instance-less-proof yet!
