XForms timer?

Hello
I need to refresh an instance every few seconds. Is it possible to
somehow send submissions automaticly?

Thanks,
Mischa

Mischa,

yes - you could use JavaScript to issue events periodically. I use that
mechanism to backup the main instance every some seconds. You will find
some postings describing this in the archives - look for
"PeriodicalExecuter", that's the prototype class i'm using.

As Florian mentioned, you can use JavaScript for this, but you can also use the delay="..." attribute on <xforms:dispatch> to dispatch an event after a certain delay. See the dispatch-delay (http://localhost:8080/orbeon/xforms-sandbox/sample/dispatch-delay) sandbox example, which after you press the "start" button increments a counter every second, all done in XForms.

Thank you. I wrote the following in my model, but it didnt't work:
<f:action ev:event="ProcessesReloadEvent">
   <f:send submission="loadProcesses"/>
   <f:dispatch name="ProcessesReloadEvent" delay="1000" target="my-model"/>
</f:action>

<f:dispatch name="ProcessesReloadEvent" delay="1000"
ev:event="xforms-ready" target="my-model"/>

(The model has the id "my-model")

Cheers,
Mischael

What version of Orbeon Forms are you using?

Try enabling XForms logging to see what's happening:

Thanks, that got me on the right track.


It seems, the dispatch does not work when triggered by xforms-ready or
xforms-model-construct-done. When executed from a trigger, everything
works fine. I think this could be a Bug in orbeon.

Yes, this is a known bug. See:
