Post processing with Form Builder

ksclarke
Hi,

We are using Form Builder and would like to be able to post-process
(with XSLT or XQuery) output from the form before it goes into the
database.  Is this possible or do we need to update the XML after it
has been stored?

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

Form Builder uses a REST-based persistence API:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/contributor-guide/form-builder-integration-notes

You could modify the eXist persistence layer/write your own  
persistence layer and do your transformation there. Maybe it would be  
a good idea to allow, out of the box, specifying optional read/write  
transformations.

You will find the eXist persistence layer under RESOURCES/apps/fr/
persistence/exist
