Send Button sample

Hi,

Can anyone give me a code sample of implementing a webservice Call in orbeon with the pdf and data XML when pressing the Send Button on a published form.
I have tried some of the samples on the net but it seems that they are out of date...

Thanks for your help..

Here is an example, of at least getting the primary template to edit a form:

@Path("/api/orbeon/crud")
@Service
public class OrbeonBuilderPersistenceWebService {

/**
         * Gets the published template
         * @param appName
         * @param formName
         * @param request - HttpServletRequest used to get Session
         * @return -Status HTTP OK, or BAD_REQUEST
         * @throws RestApplicationException
         */
        @Path("/{AppName}/{FormName}/form/form.xhtml")
        @GET
        @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
        @RestAuthentication
        public String getOrbeonBuilderPublished(@PathParam("AppName") String appName, @PathParam("FormName") String formName, @Context HttpServletRequest request) throws RestApplicationException {

       
                // For orbeon/library, always use the generic template on Orbeon (this is for the toolbox to show up when editing a template)
                if (formName.equals("library")) {
                        log.debug("***** Orbeon/Library is app specific template, generic and on Orbeon.");
                        throw new RestApplicationException(Response.Status.OK,"");
                }
               
                try{
                        TemplateData data=orbeonService.getTemplateData(formName, null);
                        String dataXml=data.getTemplateData();
                        return dataXml;
                       
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        log.error(e.getMessage(),e);
                        throw new RestApplicationException(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST,e.getMessage());
                }
               
        }
}

Here are the integration points:
Integration points:
-- Save the form template (HTTP Methods GET, PUT)
/api/orbeon/crud/orbeon/builder/data/{formId}/data.xml
-- Save the form template attachment (HTTP Methods GET, PUT)
/api/orbeon/orbeon/builder/data/{formId}/{attachmentId}.bin

-- Save/Get the PUBLISHED template (HTTP Methods GET, PUT)
/api/orbeon/{AppName}/{FormName}/form/form.xhtml
-- Save/Get the PUBLISHED template DATA (HTTP Methods GET, PUT)
/api/orbeon/{AppName}/{FormName}/data/{FormDataId}/data.xml
-- Save/Get the PUBLISHED template attachment (HTTP Methods GET, PUT)
/api/orbeon/{AppName}/{FormName}/form/{attachmentId}.bin

And be sure to modify WEB-INF/resources/config/properties-local.xml, and adding your base REST URL:
         <property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.persistence.provider.*.*.*" value="test"/>
         <property as="xs:anyURI" name="oxf.fr.persistence.test.uri" value="http://localhost:8080/test/api/orbeon/"/>

With 4.3 and newer, you can configure a button which sends both, in sequence:

- the XML data
- a link to the PDF

Hi,

Thanks for your answers.. but I don't think that i have stated my question correctly.

First I'm new to Orbeon and xpath and understand how it works after discussion in this forum..

What I want to see is a code sample that illustrate how to implement a service call when pressing the Send button and how to define that it should incl. the pdf, xml and e.g. uploaded attachments.
This mean, where do I implement that e.g. in which file/files and the syntax.  

I studied the link and sample code, but have some difficulties...

Thanks in advance..
 

The "Send" button and action currently (with 4.3) can only send the XML data or a URL to the local PDF file. You configure this with properties, as documented here:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/wiki/Form-Runner:-Buttons-and-Processes

We do hope to allow for sending attachments as well at some point, using maybe a multipart POST.

However, if you use the "Save" button, then all attachments are stored into the database. Some users implement their own persistence layer using our API:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/form-runner/persistence-api

I have replied separately to your other question about sample code to implement a service.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your answer.

Does this mean that from 4.4 when i press send, the attachments will also not be not saved in DB and only be saved when i press the save button?

Right, but I don't think this is new. In 4.3, send is defined as: require-uploads then validate-all then send("oxf.fr.detail.send.success"). And this hasn't changed in 4.4. Or were you referring to something else?
