Subject: [ops-users] Switching to XForms NG - How?
Importance: High

Hi,

 

Very often, gurus on this list keep suggesting users who are experiencing error such as [1] or the one about <xforms:submit>’s mandatory attribute submission should switch from old XForms Classic engine to NG.

 

I am really puzzled by that saying for days. What does that really mean? If my working ops has already been upgraded to 3.5 M1, does it imply that it is automatically a XForms NG engine? Or should I do some explicit declarations at application level or at the system (ops) level?

 

Regards,

 

Spenser

 

[1] An empty sequence is not allowed as the first argument of xxforms:form-id()

First please have a look at these FAQ entries:

   What are the XForms Classic and XForms NG engnes?
   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/home-faq#xforms-classic-ng

   How do I know which XForms engine I am using?
   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/home-faq#xforms-classic-or-ng

   Should I keep using the XForms Classic engine?
   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/home-faq#xforms-classic-deprecation

Now you are asking a good question: exactly *how* do you migrate from
one to the other! So I wrote a FAQ entry and a short migration guide:

   How do I migrate from XForms Classic to XForms NG?

   Migrating from XForms Classic to XForms NG

This is better than nothing but I am sure that there is more to be
said and we welcome your experiences on migration!
