Orbeon forms portlet - portal context awareness?

Hi. Re. Form Builder / Runner side of Orbeon 4.0 PE. When I place the Orbeon forms portlet that deploys with orbeon.war onto a Liferay page, it renders the list of sample forms. I appreciate this list can be changed by modifying page-flow-portlet.xml. However the scope of this configuration is Orbeon web application scope, rather than portlet instance or other Liferay scopes (site, layout etc.). Is there a standard way to make Orbeon forms portlet aware of the Liferay site where it is instantiated or would you recommend the use of the proxy portlet, even if Orbeon is deployed to same Tomcat as Liferay, if this level of portal integration is required?

Stian,

Currently the full portlet is not configurable, only the proxy portlet is.

In theory we should find a way to unify everything, and make full portlet/proxy portlet orthogonal to the full Orbeon Forms/Form Runner split. This came to be this way for historical reasons.

For now, the Form Runner proxy portlet is the way to go if you want to use Form Runner and configure it. So I would say if the proxy portlet works for you, then use that, it is ok even if the Orbeon is deployed on the same machine.

Thanks Eric. Good to know you have similar thoughts about the full
Orbeon Forms/Form Runner split. We'll use the Form Runner proxy portlet
for the moment. When configuring which form to render, it would be great
if the application name & form name fields could be made into select
controls populated based on available definitions & user's permissions.
I think this would make it feel a bit more unified and possibly quite an
easy feature to implement.

Stian,

That sounds like a good idea:
