Submitting between webapps with a separate deployment

AlecL
I'm afraid this issue may have been covered before, but I wasn't able to find a solution.  Here is my configuration:

1) orbeon is deployed in my JBoss AS under /orbeon, as standard.

2) I have deployed my own webapp under /pm-webapp.  Here I have an xpl (/pm-webapp/eod/controller/process-questions.xpl) and an .xslt for transforming my views.  

Here is the .xpl:
<p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline" 
          xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors"
          xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" 
          xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 
  <p:param name="data" type="output"/>

   
 
  <p:processor name="oxf:xforms-submission">
    <p:input name="submission">
      <xforms:submission method="post" action="http://localhost:8080/pm-webapp/eod/retrieveData"/>
    </p:input>
    <p:input name="request">
      <dummy xmlns=""/>
    </p:input>
    <p:output name="response" id="questionAnswerXML" debug="question XML"/>
  </p:processor>
   
 
  <p:processor name="oxf:xslt">
    <p:input name="config" href="http://localhost:8080/pm-webapp/eod/forms/view.xsl"/>
    <p:input name="data" href="#questionAnswerXML"/>
    <p:output name="data" ref="data" debug="translated xform"/>
  </p:processor>
</p:config>

Since this .xpl is processed by the orbeon webapp, I had to use an absolute URL to point back to my own webapp.  Is there a way to work around this, say with URL rewriting or something?  I can't really hardcode an absolute URL on every app-server when we get this into production.

Thanks for your help.

We had a similar issue solved by creating the full path dynamically using first
the request processor to get scheme, server name and port and then concatenating
this data.

<!-- get required data from request -->
     <p:processor name="oxf:request">
         <p:input name="config">
             <config>
                 <include>/request/scheme</include>
                 <include>/request/server-name</include>
                 <include>/request/server-port</include>
             </config>
         </p:input>
         <p:output name="data" id="requestInfo"/>
     </p:processor>

<!--create resource url -->
<xforms:variable name="resourceURL"
   select="concat(instance('requestInfo')/scheme,'://',
instance('requestInfo')/server,':',
instance('requestInfo')/port,
'/your/url')" />

Re: Re: Submitting between webapps with a separate deployment

I figured this out by using the request processor in tandem with a sub-pipeline, which is basically my old pipeline with an xsl translation.  Thanks for the hint, Jeroen.

<p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline" 
          xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors"
          xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
          xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 
  <p:param name="data" type="output"/>
 
 
  <p:processor name="oxf:request">
    <p:input name="config">
      <config>
        <include>/request/scheme</include>
        <include>/request/server-name</include>
        <include>/request/server-port</include>
      </config>
    </p:input>
    <p:output name="data" id="requestInfo" debug="requestStr"/>
  </p:processor> 
 
  <p:processor name="oxf:xslt">
    <p:input name="config">
      <prefix xsl:version="2.0"><xsl:value-of select="/request/scheme"/>://<xsl:value-of select="/request/server-name"/>:<xsl:value-of select="/request/server-port"/>/context-path/</prefix>
    </p:input>
    <p:input name="data" href="#requestInfo"/>
    <p:output name="data" id="parsedURL" debug="parsed URL"/>
  </p:processor>
 
  <p:processor name="oxf:xslt">
    <p:input name="data" href="#parsedURL"/>
    <p:input name="config">
     
      <p:config xsl:version="2.0">
        <xsl:variable name="serverPrefix">
          <xsl:value-of select="/prefix"/>
        </xsl:variable>
        <p:param name="data" type="output"/>
       
       
        <p:processor name="oxf:xforms-submission">
          <p:input name="submission">
            <xforms:submission method="post" action="{$serverPrefix}/eod/retrieveData"/>
          </p:input>
          <p:input name="request">
            <dummy xmlns=""/>
          </p:input>
          <p:output name="response" id="questionAnswerXML" debug="question XML"/>
        </p:processor>
         
       
        <p:processor name="oxf:xslt">
          <p:input name="config" href="{$serverPrefix}/eod/forms/view.xsl"></p:input>
          <p:input name="data" href="#questionAnswerXML"/>
          <p:output name="data" ref="data" debug="translated xform"/>
        </p:processor>
      </p:config>
     
    </p:input>
    <p:output name="data" id="subPipeline" debug="new pipeline"/>
  </p:processor>
 
  <p:processor name="oxf:pipeline">
    <p:input name="config" href="#subPipeline"/>
    <p:output name="data" ref="data"/>
  </p:processor>
</p:config>

This seems unnecessarily complicated, but it works.
