Use cases documented?

Hi

Does anyone know if there is a definitive of identified Orbeon xForms use cases?
I've searched the Wiki for "use cases" but it didn't yield much.

I recently started developing with Orbeon and this kind of resource is something which I thought was missing to quickly identify if the technology is fit for enterprise implementation.

Also, there looks to be several different deployment options now which in themselves are related to specific use cases.

For example:

- Orbeon form builder + runner
- separate web application deployment using Orbeon more like a library
- separate web application deployment for portlet application development
- ... others?

Would be nice to have a short list of advantages / disadvantages that each deployment option has.
I think a resource providing an overview such as this might be missing too?

When I've gained more experience with Orbeon xForms I hope to be able to contribute to such documentation.

Kind regards,
Stian Sigvatsen

Stian,

We don't have a list of use cases, with a respective high level
overview of the architecture. But I really get your point, and can see
how much valuable this would be. At this point, the closest we have is
a list of sites and projects using Orbeon Forms, but I understand this
is fairly different than what you have in mind.

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/welcome/sites-projects-companies-using-orbeon-forms

If you have a specific use case in mind, and are wondering if it makes
sense to use Orbeon Forms for that, or how to best implement it in
Orbeon Forms, feel free to ask here and we'll do our best to respond.
