Using button for controlling with orbeon

Hi,

I've created a form in orbeon and i desire to add a button with controls(
which after click on it, it'll update the data forms in an external
database). I use an external Postgresql database which contains one table
named "unite" with 3 fields(Id,Code,Libelle) that i want to update with
that orbeon's form!

Is there someone who can help me?

Regards!

Hedrick

Hedrick,

I assume you are using Form Runner?

Best would be to use the standard Save or Send buttons. You could either:

* Save button: hook-up your own persistence layer implementation (like
we have for eXist, Oracle, and MySQL) to handle the save.
* Send button: this can post the data to a URL. If you implement a
service responding to that URL, you can then get the submitted data as
XML, extract your fields, and store them into Postresql.

Can you give me a tutorial or an example for using a send button in
orbeon, please? I'm new in orbeon.

Not exactly a tutorial, but here is some doc:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties/configuration-properties-form-runner#TOC-Workflow-send-button

Add the workflow-send button for your form with a property like this
in your properties-local.xml:

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.*"
value="refresh close clear pdf email save workflow-review
collapse-all expand-all workflow-send"/>

Then another property to specify the destination URL:

<property as="xs:anyURI" name="oxf.fr.detail.send.uri.*.*"
value="/my/page"/>

The form data will be POST-ed to that URL.
