(So Urgent) Passing some parameters to the xform from some external application
Locked

This post was updated on .
Hi,
there's a situation which I want to call my xform from an external application and I need to pass some parameters to my xform. I wonder if there is any way to read the key/value parameters from the url?! For instance, http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xfroms-test?username=nafise is it possible to retrieve the username value from the url?! or at the whole is there any way to call the xform from some other application and passing some parameters to it?! Cheers, Nafise |

In oreder to read parameters from http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-file/?item=12&count=10 I have created a test application
in WEB-INF\resources\apps\xforms-file and it has three files as follows: 1. page-flow.xml : <config xmlns="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/controller" xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors"> <page path-info="/xforms-file/" view="view.xhtml" default-submission="parameters.xml"> <setvalue ref="/submission/item" parameter="item"/> <setvalue ref="/submission/count" parameter="count"/> </page> <epilogue url="oxf:/config/epilogue.xpl"/> </config> ------------------------------------------ 2. parameters.xml : <submission> <item/> <count/> </submission> ------------------------------------------ 3. view.xhtml: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> <head> <xforms:model> <xforms:instance id="submission-instance"> <xi:include href="parameters.xml"/> </xforms:instance> </xforms:model> </head> <body> <xforms:input ref="/submission/item"> <xforms:label>Item</xforms:label> </xforms:input> <xforms:input ref="/submission/count"> <xforms:label>Number of orders</xforms:label> </xforms:input> </body> </html> Browing both http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-file/ and http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-file/?item=12&count=10 will produce empty fields. As it seems, I have missed some parts to make it work. Thanks in advanced and I do look forward to hearing from you. NAfise

Nafise, The request-generator http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/processors-generators-request is one way to read the parameters. Your page would need a model attribute, pointing to an xpl file that will run the request generator and aggregate along with any other data your page needs. --Hank On Jan 14, 2008, at 6:26 AM, Nafise wrote: > > Hi, > > there's a situation which I want to call my xform from an external > application and I need to pass some parameters to my xform. > I wonder if there is any way to read the key/value parameters from > the url?! > > For instance, > http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xfroms-test?username=nafise > is it possible to retrieve the username value from the url?! > > or at the whole is there any way to call the xform from some other > application and passing some parameters to it?! > > Cheers, > Nafise > -- > View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%28So-Urgent%29- > Passing-some-parameters-to-the-xform-from-some-external-application- > tp14772273p14772273.html > Sent from the ObjectWeb OPS - Users mailing list archive at > Nabble.com. > > > -- > You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] > mailing list. > To unsubscribe: mailto:[hidden email] > For general help: mailto:[hidden email]?subject=help > OW2 mailing lists service home page: http://www.ow2.org/wws NEES@UCSB Institute for Crustal Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara 805-893-8042 -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] mailing list.

Hank,
I followd the instructions. In order to read "return-url" parameter form http://localhost:8080/orbeon/readurl/?return-url=SOS , I've created page-flow.xml & read-uri.xpl as follows: page-flow.xml <config xmlns="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/controller" xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors"> <page path-info="/readurl/" view="view.xhtml" model="read-url.xpl"/> <epilogue url="oxf:/config/epilogue.xpl"/> </config> read-uri.xpl <p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline" xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors"> <p:processor name="oxf:request"> <p:input name="config"> <config> <include>/request</include> </config> </p:input> <p:output name="data" id="request"/> </p:processor> </p:config> actually, I don't know how I could access the request data in view.xhtml. I've tried this: view.xhtml <html xsl:version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <body> parameter value: <xsl:value-of select="request/parameters/parameter[name = 'return-url']" /> </body> </html> any help would be warmly appreciated, Nafise

Nafise,
Your pipeline needs to declare an output: <p:param name="data" type="output"/> Then if your page has xsl, it is simply the data part: <xsl:value-of select="/request/parameters/parameter[name='myparam']/ value"/> to access in xforms: <xforms:instance id="params" src="input:data"/> more: http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-ng#xforms-instance- initialization-src --Hank On Jan 16, 2008, at 2:56 AM, Nafise wrote: > > Hank, > > I followd the instructions.

Thank you so much Hank, It helped :)
I think that "data" in <p:param name="<b>data" type="output"/> is such a default keyword or something like this; because trying the the below xpl, it stopped working!!! <p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline" xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors"> <p:param name="<b>somethingElse" type="output"/> <p:processor name="oxf:request"> <p:input name="config"> <config> <include>/request</include> </config> </p:input> <p:output name="data" ref="<b>somethingElse" id="data"/> </p:processor> </p:config> are some extra seeting are needed in case of some alternative output param name?! Thanks, Nafise

Nafise,
Indeed the param named "data" of type output is special, as are the params instance and data of type input. I don't have any experience connecting to other named outputs, but clearly xpl lets you create these. I don't know if this allows you to create multiple instances, e.g, doc('input:somethingElse'), so if don't have things connected using doc('input:data'), then I would get that going first.

However, when your XPL is designed to be called by the page flow controller, you need to use fixed names (i.e. data and instance). Those names are part of the "contract" between the PFC and your pipelines. Then if you write a pipeline that you call yourself from another pipeline, you can use whatever name you like for the inputs and outputs.
