Using XInclude for instances

Hi,

I've tried the following:

<xforms:model>
  <xforms:instance id="apps">
    <xi:include href="apps-list.xml"/>
  </xforms:instance>
</xforms:model>

or even just:

<xforms:model>
  <xi:include href="apps-list.xml"/>
</xforms:model>

but neither of these work. Is the use of XInclude restricted to just the
entire model or href="input:data" - these are the two cases covered by
the documentation?

    Cheers,

    Matthew

No, but you have to be aware against what URI relative paths
resolve. The base URI of an XForms page is set to the external URI,
i.e. usually an HTTP URI. I.e. if your page was requested with:

   http://example.org/ops/mypage

then your XInclude resolves as:

   http://example.org/ops/apps-list.xml

So unless you actually make apps-list.xml available through HTTP, that
won't work. Instead, you can use the "oxf:" scheme an an absolute URI
to access a local resource:

   <xi:include href="oxf:/mypage/apps-list.xml"/>
