Retrieving FORM_DATA_ID on the client side

I have a custom persistence layer created and working well. IE
<property as="xs:anyURI" name="oxf.fr.persistence.app.uri.*.*.*" value="http://MyURLGoesHere"/>

All operations with the persistence layer are working fine.

However now I am setting up a Submit Go URL, IE

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.submit.go.uri-xpath.*.*" value="'MyCustomGoURL'"/>

However, 'MyCustomGoURL' needs to know the FORM_DATA_ID value that Orbeon passed in the URL to the persistance layer.

Is there any advice for forwarding the form data id to the "go.uri-xpath" page

- Is there an XForms expression I can add to my go.uri-xpath value that would add the FORM_DATA_ID value to the URL called?
- If not, is there a javascript call on the client side that I can use to get the FORM_DATA_ID? I'm thinking I may be able to use this to set a cookie that is forwarded when the "go.uri-xpath" URL is called.

On the client side, I see quite a big of stuff in the ORBEON.util and ORBEON.xforms spaces, but little of it is documented, I have no idea how much of it is intended for public use, and I do not see the for data id readily available.

Many thanks,

Andy,

The form id is not reliably exposed on the client AFAIR.

What you could do is, as XPath expression in
oxf.fr.detail.submit.go.uri-xpath, use something like:

concat('your path here'/, xxforms:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/form)

xxforms:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/form contains the form id
on the server, although that, too, is kind of unofficial, but it might
work for you.

Fantastic Erik. That is exactly what I was looking for. I will give it a try.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it.
