Orbeon Bug: xxforms:element and read-only instances

Hi list,

I think I found a bug in Orbeon: In one occasion, I need to send the data of
two instances to a XPL pipeline. I am using the (very useful!) xxforms:element
functions to achieve this, like this:
<xf:submission id="report-submission"
                       ref="xxforms:element('report-with-items', (instance('report-
instance'), instance('list-instance')))" method="post" ... />
I used to set the list-instance (holding a list of items to be shown in the
report) to read-only since the user can not edit it. However, xxforms:element
will then just ignore that content node, and only the report-instance will be
sent. Removing the xxforms:readonly from all submissions that write the list-
instance fixed the problem, but of course I would like to benefit from the
better memory footprint of read-only instances. Am I doing something wrong?

Kind regards,
Ralf Jung

Hi Erik,

thanks for the quick reply, that must be it then ;-)
Is there a bugtracker I should enter this into, or is the issue registered
hereby?

Kind regards,
Ralf
