Why is xforms-model-construct-done on load not working?
 
|
Hello,
we try to get actions done after the form has been loaded. Unfortunately, this seem to be a problem now with Orbeon Forms 4.4.0.201311042001 CE. This is my example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xhtml:html xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" xmlns:fr="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/form-runner"> <xhtml:head> <xf:action ev:event="hugo"> <xf:message>Hi Hugo!</xf:message> </xf:action> <xf:action ev:event="knut"> <xf:message>Hi Knut!</xf:message> </xf:action> <xhtml:title>My Example</xhtml:title> <xf:model> <xf:instance> <my-instance xmlns=""/> </xf:instance> <!-- the following dispatch is not working, why? --> <xf:dispatch ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done" name="hugo" targetid="#document"/> <!-- the following dispatch is working! --> <xf:dispatch ev:event="xforms-ready" name="knut" targetid="#document"/> <xf:action ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done"> <xf:message>xforms-model-construct-done!</xf:message> <!-- the following dispatch is not working, why? --> <xf:dispatch name="hugo" targetid="#document"/> <xf:dispatch name="knut" targetid="#document"/> </xf:action> </xf:model> </xhtml:head> <xhtml:body> <fr:button> <xf:label>Hi all</xf:label> <xf:message ev:event="DOMActivate">pressed</xf:message> <xf:dispatch ev:event="DOMActivate" name="hugo" targetid="#document"/> <xf:dispatch ev:event="DOMActivate" name="knut" targetid="#document"/> </fr:button> </xhtml:body> </xhtml:html> I'd expect both messages, Hugo and Knut, showing up after the form has been loaded. What's wrong here? Thanks a lot for some hints.

Hi Heinrich,
You're not dispatching your events correctly... The targetid attribute is expecting the value of the id (without a leading #) and it appears that there is no id = 'document' in your page. The following will do what you're expecting: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xhtml:html xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" xmlns:fr="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/form-runner"> <xhtml:head> <xhtml:title>My Example</xhtml:title> <xf:model id="model"> <xf:instance> <my-instance xmlns=""/> </xf:instance> <xf:action ev:event="hugo"> <xf:message>Hi Hugo!</xf:message> </xf:action> <xf:action ev:event="knut"> <xf:message>Hi Knut!</xf:message> </xf:action> <!-- the following dispatch is not working, why? --> <xf:dispatch ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done" name="hugo" targetid="model"/> <!-- the following dispatch is working! --> <xf:dispatch ev:event="xforms-ready" name="knut" targetid="model"/> <xf:action ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done"> <xf:message>xforms-model-construct-done!</xf:message> <!-- the following dispatch is not working, why? --> <xf:dispatch name="hugo" targetid="model"/> <xf:dispatch name="knut" targetid="model"/> </xf:action> </xf:model> </xhtml:head> <xhtml:body> <fr:button> <xf:label>Hi all</xf:label> <xf:message ev:event="DOMActivate">pressed</xf:message> <xf:dispatch ev:event="DOMActivate" name="hugo" targetid="model"/> <xf:dispatch ev:event="DOMActivate" name="knut" targetid="model"/> </fr:button> </xhtml:body> </xhtml:html> Hope this helps, Eric Le mardi 21 janvier 2014 à 17:10 +0100, Heinrich Götzger a écrit : > Hello, > > we try to get actions done after the form has been loaded. > Unfortunately, this seem to be a problem now with Orbeon Forms > 4.4.0.201311042001 CE. > > This is my example: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <xhtml:html > xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms" > xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events" > xmlns:fr="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/form-runner"> > > <xhtml:head> > > <xf:action ev:event="hugo"> > <xf:message>Hi Hugo!</xf:message> > </xf:action> > > <xf:action ev:event="knut"> > <xf:message>Hi Knut!</xf:message> > </xf:action> > > <xhtml:title>My Example</xhtml:title> > > <xf:model> > <xf:instance> > <my-instance xmlns=""/> > </xf:instance> > > <!-- the following dispatch is not working, why? --> > <xf:dispatch > ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done" > name="hugo" > targetid="#document"/> > > <!-- the following dispatch is working! --> > <xf:dispatch > ev:event="xforms-ready" > name="knut" > targetid="#document"/> > > <xf:action ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done"> > <xf:message>xforms-model-construct-done!</xf:message> > <!-- the following dispatch is not working, why? --> > <xf:dispatch > name="hugo" > targetid="#document"/> > <xf:dispatch > name="knut" > targetid="#document"/> > </xf:action> > > </xf:model> > > </xhtml:head> > > <xhtml:body> > > <fr:button> > <xf:label>Hi all</xf:label> > <xf:message ev:event="DOMActivate">pressed</xf:message> > <xf:dispatch > ev:event="DOMActivate" > name="hugo" > targetid="#document"/> > <xf:dispatch > ev:event="DOMActivate" > name="knut" > targetid="#document"/> > </fr:button> > > </xhtml:body> > > </xhtml:html> > > I'd expect both messages, Hugo and Knut, showing up after the form has > been loaded. > > What's wrong here? > > Thanks a lot for some hints. > > Cheers > > Heinrich > > -- > Before printing this e-mail, think about our environmental responsibility. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Orbeon Forms" group.

Hoi Eric,
thanks a lot for the quick response. Your example is working es expected. Well, but this is not exactly what we want at the end, actually. In orbeon 3.9 we used to have 'global' event-handlers which we defined outside of any model, but just using something like: <xf:action ev:event="listQuery"> <xi:include href="oxf:/standard/action/listQuery.xml"/> </xf:action> Here is a hint that this worked (we are not using the observer-attribute): http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-events#TOC-The-keypress-event Then, at the desired place in the form, we use something like: <!-- loads the list on load of form --> <xf:action ev:event="xforms-model-construct-done"> <xf:dispatch name="listQuery" targetid="#document"/> </xf:action> And that works just marvelous. So we can use a bunch of small actions in lots of different forms and those actions could even call each other without having any model-dependencies. This is the code we'd love to port to 4.4. And that seems to contain a few treats....

Dispatching events from somewhere to #document (even from a xforms-model-construct-done-handler in some model) worked in 3.9. This was on purpose or by accident? Fires dispatch not a new event? > What about defining a specific model for these actions that are common > too different forms? Yes, we thought about that already as well. But this solution is only partially beautiful, because we always have to add all handlers in a particular model, and the flexibility is lostto some extent. Hm, looks like, this is the only way right now.

Salute,
if I use the following example, why is the HelloWorld1 event getting dispatched from inside the top-level model but HelloWorld2 not? This works in 3.9 completely, but in 4.4 only partially. Sorry for insisting, but I would like to avoid the introduction of an extra event model, since this seems to be not as flexible as it used to be.

Hi Heinrich,
I don't know why the behaviour has changed between 3.9 and 4.4. Erik and/or Alex should be able to answer, but if you think that this is an issue, why don't you create a new issue in github: https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/issues ?

Heinrich,
If you're looking for a workaround or other way to do this, you could be dispatching the event to a model id, and put the handler in that model. Would that work for you? That should work on xforms-model-construct-done. Alex

Hoi Alex,
we decided for this reason and some other reason to create separate xbl-components which include exactly those handlers in their models. So these handlers are out of the way in the containing form now. But thank you for the suggestion. We thought about that too already.
