XForms Submission Problems

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting my xform to submit properly. I'm a
beginner, so hopefully my mistake is something stupid and obvious.

I have Orbeon 3.6 on Tomcat 6 on Windows. I have my own webapp,
deployed seperately, with a static .xhtml in /xforms-jsp - all that's
working ok.

But the submissions aren't working. First I tried to submit to the
built-in eXist database in the way the bookcast example does, then I
gave up and made a simple servlet to accept the xml in a http post. I
can't get either to work.

My eXist submission (copied off bookcast example, but do I need to
create eXists 'tw' collection first?):

<xforms:submission id="save-submission"
ref="instance('message-instance')"
action="/exist/rest/db/orbeon/tw/message.xml"
method="put"
replace="none">
<xforms:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error" level="modal"
value="event('body')"/>
<xforms:message ev:event="xforms-submit-done"
level="modal">Saved!</xforms:message>
</xforms:submission>

My servlet submission:

<xforms:submission id="save-submission"
ref="instance('message-instance')"
action="/TW/ReceiveMessageXML"
method="post"
replace="all">
<xforms:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error" level="modal"
value="event('body')"/>
<xforms:message ev:event="xforms-submit-done"
level="modal">Saved!</xforms:message>
</xforms:submission>

doPost method of servlet:

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {

ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
ServletInputStream in = request.getInputStream();

byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len = 1024;
int off = 0;
int result = 0;

response.setContentType("text/html");
out.print("<html><body><pre>");

while (result >= 0) {
result = in.read(buffer, off, len);
off += result;
out.write(buffer, off, result);
}

out.print("</pre></body></html>");
}
}

I've tried to enable Orbeon logging by uncommenting everything in
RESOURCES/config/log4j.xml, reploying Orbeon and restarting Tomcat -
but I can't find a log file. Where is it created?

I've tried using tcpmon as a proxy server, and I can see the http put
when I run the bookcast example, but not when running my xform. I
just get a DOMFocusIn, DOMActivate http post for the save button.
Perhaps this means Orbeon thinks my xml instance is not valid - but
there are no !s next to input fields, and the event('body') is null.
How would I check if this were the case?

Thanks,
Malcolm.
