Reading request-path from XForms/XPath

Hi all

I would like to make the resource of a submission dependent on (the last part) of the requested resource. So, instead of using a request parameter and accessing it via {xxforms:get-request-parameter('id')}, I would like to evaluate the last part of my url, e.g. /orbeon/myapp/myresource/12345. Since there does not seem to be an XPath extension function in Orbeon that provides the request path, does anybody have an idea how to access the request path?

I know that from XSL, I could do "doc('input:request')/*/request-path", but have no idea how to access the information provided by the request generator processor ….

Thanks a lot,

Simon

Re: Reading request-path from XForms/XPath

Hi Simon,

the xxforms:get-request-parameter is an xpath function to get request parameters, but

otherwise, you can create a model attribute for the path (in page-flow.xml) and pass

along the whole request. Then it is available as instance('input:instance')/...

Cheers,

Hank

Simon,

It would be good to implement such a function. I entered an RFE:

http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=315334&group_id=168&atid=350207

Maybe you could give it a shot, it should be easy based on other
functions, like this one:

http://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/blob/master/src/java/org/orbeon/oxf/xforms/function/xxforms/XXFormsGetRequestParameter.java

FYI this was easy to implement so we now have an xxforms:get-request-path() function in the latest nightly builds.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Reading request-path from XForms/XPath

Hello Jyothi,

If you don't have a specific bind element, then use the instance() function in your group ref:

<xforms:group ref="instance('books-instance')/books/book">

<xforms:input ref="title"/>

The above will hopefully work, but I think everyone has to debug the first attempt.

The "single node binding" requirement is "tricky" and not just at first. Every instance requires

a single top-level node, but that node isn't referenced in XPath functions.

Cheers,

Hank

Simon, you may have noticed that there is a new xpath function:
