RE: Xinclude and absolute paths

Alex hi

Yes, to reproduce this I:

1. Grabbed the latest nightly build.

2. Created a simple JSP (hello.jsp) and placed it in the xforms-jsp
folder

------------------snip
<%
    // Set content type to XML. By default it will be HTML, and OPS will
tidy it.
    response.setContentType("application/xml");
%>
<time><%= "" + System.currentTimeMillis() %></time>
------------------snip

3. Verified this worked by browsing to
http://localhost:8080/ops/xforms-jsp/hello.jsp

4. Modified the OPS welcome/view.xhtml to include in the title text:

------------------snip
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href='http://localhost:8080/ops/xforms-jsp/hello.jsp'/>
------------------snip

5. Navigated to  http://localhost:8080/ops/ and verified that the JSP
works and has its output included in-page

6. Modified the href of the Xinclude to be "/ops/xforms-jsp/hello.jsp"
and got the following error from Orbeon Forms: "Cannot load
"/ops/xforms-jsp/hello.jsp" with webapp loader".

Hope this is enough to go on ...

- Alex.

This makes sense, because the base URI for your XInclude is
oxf:/apps/welcome/view.xhtml. Resolving your absolute path against
this returns "oxf:/ops/xforms-jsp/hello.jsp", which clearly won't
work.

I fear that you will have to keep using an absolute URL if you want to
use XInclude in a page view.

Note that this applies to page models and page views, but the XForms
engine has a different behavior for its own URLs: it sets a special
base URI on XForms pages, which is the external URL used to request
the XForms page.

So if you were to perform the inclusion using the
oxf:xforms-submission processor instead, then you could write
something like this in a page model:

<p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline"
     xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors">

     <p:param name="data" type="output"/>

     <!-- Execute REST submission -->
     <p:processor name="oxf:xforms-submission">
         <p:input name="submission">
             <xforms:submission
xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" serialize="false"
                                method="get"
action="/xforms-jsp/hello.jsp"/>
         </p:input>
         <p:input name="request"><dummy/></p:input>
         <p:output name="response" ref="data"/>
     </p:processor>

</p:config>
