Orbeon doesn't copy xxforms:rows, xxforms:cols and xxforms:size in repeated elements

Dear Orbeon authors,

I think I've spotted a bug, namely when a put e.g. a xforms:textarea with xxforms:rows and xxforms:cols attributes in a xforms:repeat element, then these attributes (actually related HTML attributes) are lost in new iterations of the repeated xxforms:textarea.

I've prepared an example simple Sandbox-compatible example, it features a xforms:textarea element with xxforms:rows and xxforms:cols attributes and a xforms:input element with xxforms:size attribute. When you click "Insert", then all new elements appear with wrong sizes:

http://gamma.mini.pw.edu.pl/~arciuchm/rowscols.xml

The problem appears in Orbeon 3.7.1 and post-3.7.1:

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/xforms-sandbox/run?url=http://gamma.mini.pw.edu.pl/~arciuchm/rowscols.xml

and does not appear in Orbeon 3.6.0 (make sure you use an older browser supported by 3.6.0):

http://xmlfr.org/orbeon/xforms-sandbox/run?url=http://gamma.mini.pw.edu.pl/~arciuchm/rowscols.xml

I would appreciate it if you fixed this, best regards, Maciek

I am trying to deploy forms in a separate distribution from Orbeon and
having some configuration problems.  I have followed the directions at
http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-java but think I might
be missing a puzzle piece. I am deploying on CentOs Linux.

My test directory is deployed in /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/MyForm.

The directory structure is:

MyForm
   xforms (location of the forms)
   WEB-INF
      web.xml (added the filters to the web.xml from Orbeon here)
      lib
          orbeon-xforms-filter.jar

I have modified the /etc/tomcat5/server.xml file to include the
context:

<Server>
  ...
  <Host>
    ...
    <Context path="/MyForm" docBase="/MyForm" crossContext="true" />
  </Host>
</Engine>
</Service>

I get an error "The requested resource () is not available".  If I comment
out the <Context> element and restart Tomcat I get to the files but it
doesn't find Orbeon.



Orbeon is installed in webapps/orbeon and it is working just fine.

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Betty

Maciej,

Thanks a lot. It's a coincidence but we fixed something very similar
two days ago:

https://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=314425&group_id=168&atid=350207

The fix is availble in nightly builds:

And you get this error when going to a URL like:
http://localhost:8080/MyForm/xforms/someform.jsp? What if you don't
setup the filter in the web.xml; is the XForms sent to the browser
as-is?

If I take the <Context> element out of the 'server.xml' file, the URL
gets resolved but it doesn't invoke Orbeon.  If I include the <Context>
element then the URL doesn't get resolved.  I am using tomcat5.

Thanks!

Dear Erik, I confirm that your fix solves my problem as well. Excellent timing! ;) Best regards, Maciej

I finally got the separate deployment working.  I put the <Context>
element in a context.xml file in META-INF.  The directory structure
is:

MyForm
  META-INF
     context.xml
  WEB-INF
     web.xml
     lib
       orbeon-xforms-filter.jar

The XInclude does not resolve correctly in the separate
deployment.  I am using Orbeon dev-post-3.7.1.200910230248
distribution.

I have a form that uses several XInclude statements for standard
section.  Right now all the XML fragments are in the save directory
as the form (this works when located directly under Orbeon).

XInclude Statement:

<xi:include href="general.xml" xxi:omit-xml-base="true"/>

Error message:

/usr/share/tomcat5/general.xml (No such file or directory)

Is there anyway to get around this problem?

Thanks!

Betty

though; having the <Context> defined in context.xml or server.xml
should be equivalent, and I personally usually put it in server.xml.
So I am not quite sure why defining the context in server.xml didn't
work, but I'm glad you found a solution.

So you have:

webapps
    your-app
        your-form
            form.xhtml
            general.xml
        WEB-INF
    orbeon
        WEB-INF

You load the form through
http://localhost:8080/your-app/your-form/form.xhtml and need to
include general.xml in form.xhtml. Is my understanding correct?

The <xi:include> is interpreted by Orbeon Forms (well, Xerces ran by
Orbeon Forms), so it can't just load that general.xml.

1) You could put a full URL there: <xi:include
href="http://localhost:8080/your-app/your-form/general.xml"
xxi:omit-xml-base="true"/>. This would make an HTTP request every
time, and not be very efficient.

2) Or you could setup the Orbeon Forms resource manager to consider
that webapps/your-app is a resource directory (through the
FilesystemResourceManagerFactory in Orbeon's web.xml). Then you will
be able to say <xi:include href="oxf:/your-form/general.xml"
xxi:omit-xml-base="true"/>.

3) Or you could put that file in the Orbeon Forms resources directory
and just use <xi:include href="oxf:/general.xml"
xxi:omit-xml-base="true"/>.

4) With the cross context enable, I am wondering if you can put
general.xml under your-app/WEB-INF/resources/general.xml and load it
with oxf:/general.xml. If this works, that would be my favorite
option. Otherwise #2 comes close.

I think I have a workable solution but the problem - it isn't optimal
but will allow you to find files in relationship to Tomcat.

In the META-INF directory the context.xml file is:

<Context path="/test" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/test"
crossContext="true" />

The XInclude file is brought into the form with the context of
webapps:

<xi:include href="webapps/test/SimpleForm/test.xml"
xxi:omit-xml-base="true"/>

Seems like there should be a way of just specifying 'href="text.xml"'
and there probably is something else in the Tomcat configuration.

I do not see this fixed.  I put xxforms:size="50" on an input control with a repeat nodeset and subsequent rows added the input control goes back to the original size within form runner.  Has this been fixed yet or is there something else that has to be done.

Thank you.

Brian,

This simple test seems to work:

Does it work for you?
