You can use the xxforms:format attribute on <xforms:output> or
<xforms:input>. (See "2.2.2. xforms:input" and "2.2.3. xforms:output"
on http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-2.)

And if this is something you want to do across your application, you
can set your default formatting in properties.xml, and you don't have
to include that xxforms:format attribute. (See "2.2.4. Default
Formatting" that follows.)

i've tried that and it doesn't work as i want.

The following code is my code:

<xforms:bind readonly=". != ''" nodeset="/documento/Cuenta-04-Simp/Entidad/FAprPres"/>
[.....]
<xforms:input ref="FAprPres"   xxforms:format="format-date(xs:date(.), '[D]-[M]-[Y]', 'es', (), ())">
        <xforms:label class="sort-label">Fecha de aprobación del presupuesto</xforms:label>
</xforms:input>

FAprPres has, for instance, '2007-01-29' and i want to show it like '29-01-2007', but with that code i show it like '2007-01-29'

Thank you

Does adding a type of xs:date to the bind help? From memory xxforms:format is only applied to inputs bound to dates.

If you want to use an xforms:input, you need to bind it to a node that
contains the data already formated. You can do this by having a
"working" instance with a node calculated based on the instance that
contains the real date, e.g.:

<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('work')/date"
calculate="format-date(xs:date(instance('real-instance')/your-date),
'[D]-[M]-[Y]', 'es', (), ())"/>

Because of the "calculate" the node will be made read-only, so your
input field bound to that now will show as read-only.

I cann't do that because i only want show the data in this format, and i think if i do that (with calculate), the data is saving with this format in the xml.

What you can do is have a separate instance that contains the data in
that format. So you don't change your original instance. You create a
new one, and have an element of that new instance calculated based on
the non-formated value in the original instance. You the bind the
control to the element in the new instance.

No fault of yours Alex (rather the spec), but the problem with this sort of solution is that it becomes unworkable as soon as a repeat is involved.

We'll say it is Erik's fault, since he is working on the spec! ;) You
are right; this gets complicated with repeats, especially when you
have to handle insert/delete and maintain this additional instance as
well as the "original" instance. The WG is aware of this, and in fact
this has already been discussed at a meeting I attended earlier this
year. I can't quite remember was the suggestion was; ideally it would
have been capture
(http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/XForms_Future_Features), but it
either wasn't or I can't find it.

But if you have suggestions, please pass them along :).
