automatically submit a submission after the page is loaded

hi orbeon users



how can i automatically start a submission after the page is shown.
i want to show the page first and the load some additional data (slow to
calculate) in the background.

i tried the xforms:send function in the model with the xforms-ready
event, but the event is fired before the page is loaded/presented.

  <xforms:send submission="mySubmission"  ev:event="xforms-ready"/>


is there another event i didn't find or how can i do that?

i'm using orbeon 3.5



thanks. markus

Markus,

I attached an improved version of our small "Custom Events" sample,  
which shows exactly how to do this. Here is how it works:

* Upon XForms initialization, the XForms model receives the event  
xforms-ready. This happens before the page is sent to the web browser.

* The event handler for xforms-ready executes the extension  
xxforms:script action which allows running JavaScript code on the  
client.

* Just after the page is loaded in the browser, the xxforms:script  
action runs in the web browser and executes its JavaScript content.

* The JavaScript dispatches a custom XForms event to the XForms model.  
The event is sent from the web browser to the XForms engine on the  
server. The event here is called acme-super-event and must be  
explicitly allowed on the model using the xxforms:external-events  
property, for security reasons.

* The event reaches the XForms model on the server. An event handler  
for xxforms:external-events causes a message to be displayed on the  
client.

In your case, instead of displaying a message, you would run your  
submission.
