Webservice call from Formbuilder

How to send xform created in formbuilder to a webservice through the action/service
tabs provided in Formbuilder.
I am using FormBuilder to create a Form. Then I need to send the whole form
to a webservice. When use the Action tab, I can send control elements selected
from drop down to the webservice. Is there any to post all the fields of the form or
how to send whole document to a webservice. And how can I read those elements in my
webservice. Are these available in request object calling the webservice, how can I get them

I will appreciate any help

Lak,

By default Form Runner sends the form through the persistence layer
API. This is documented here:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/contributor-guide/form-builder-integration-notes#TOC-Persistence-API

So this could be an integration point: instead of using the built-in
eXist or Oracle persistence layer implementations, you could write
your own as per that API. It is pretty much a matter of implementing
GET/PUT/DELETE and a search functionality if you need it. To save, you
only need PUT. You can implement your persistence layer in any
technology you want.

Other than that, just right now we are missing a simple feature that
says just "submit this form to that URL". But it could be implemented.
