Repeat and xpath context?

Hi all,

I really do not get it when it comes to the xform repeat and the xpath
context.  You will find attach a xhtml file that does work in the sandbox.

Basically I am trying within a repeat to access some information base on an
ID that I have in my nodeset.

You know the classical document where all the information related to an
employee is tucked away in its section.  Any other section that refers to an
employee does so by the ID.  Once I have the ID in the repeat I can't figure
out how to get at the relevant employee information!!!!

As always help greatly appreciated,

Marco

Marco,

Good question. We unfortunately had to resort to an extension function
to address that kind of use cases. Try:

ref="instance('refList')/empList/emp[id =
xxforms:repeat-current('depList-repeat')/mgrId]/lastName">

See the doc here:

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-ng#ops-extensions

Other solutions in the future may include the XForms 1.1 current()
function, as well as the introduction of variables.

Erik,

Thanks,  Am I right in assuming that the repeat-current() function is not
available in 3.01?  (since it does not work in my local  sandbox but works
on your sanbox) and would need to upgrade to a later version.

If that is the case which version should I upgrade to?  (I am close to the
end of my prototype/proof of concept and would really like to get the most
for ...).

On the same token assuming that I will need to upgrade could you give some
pointers for a clean upgrade.

Marco,

p.s. Thanks for the good job

Probably right, yes.

At this point I would say a recent nightly build.

Things to make sure of:

o backup everything ;-)
o backup and remove/rename resources/ops
o backup and remove/rename resources/config/theme
o remove the old JAR files and add the new JAR files under WEB-INF/lib
o use the new config/properties.xml file
o use the new config/xforms-widgets.xsl file

The latest builds have a new directory structure for the resources, and
minor modifications to the epilogue and some config files, but you
should still be able to use your current resources with the exception of
the directories and files above.

Let us know if you encounter problems.

Erik,

I went through the steps you have indicated and it almost did work... I had
to do some fine tuning

Basiaclly in the config directory the *.xpl and *.xsl files need to be
replace as well!!! the old one are making reference the old stuff and are
making calls to function that do not exist anymore...

But you did give me a big head start and I really appreciate

Thanks for your help,

p.s. Now if I can finish my proof of concept for this Friday all will be
fine!!!!
