builder, actions, list boxes and box selectors

Hi there. I'm having a real problem trying to populate a box select control from an HTTP service. In fact, with the build I have ( about two weeks old dev-post-3.7.1.201002050505). Within builder, I can setup an HTTP service, and can easily setup actions that populate text boxes. But populating list boxes, or box selectors does not seem to work at all. I had it working with older builds several months ago. My service setup is shown below. The 'test' works fine, and returns the xml data expected. HTTP Service setup

The returned data looks like usertwo usertwo userone userone userthree userthree andyg andyg guest guest admin admin The setup for populating the list box looks like List box population

Yes, the list box never gets populated with the users returned by the service. Ultimately what I'm after is trying to populate a box selector. However, I have two problems trying to get that to work: - Even though the box selector is supposed to take label/value data, just like the list box, it does not show up as a "Destination selection control" in the actions editor, like a list box does. - Even ignoring the above for a moment, I am unable to populate the box selector with any portion of the returned data. populating a box selector

Has anyone had luck recently populating a list box or a box selector from a HTTP service lately?

Bump.

Has anyone had any recent luck with populating a box selector control using an HTTP service call, with recent builds?

Many thanks,

Andy,

I reproduced and fixed the issue. For reference:

Bug:
http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=314799&group_id=168&atid=350207

Commit:
http://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/commit/ece39158ac9b75d03e5de73a45b574bc53faca3c

Note that forms created with broken versions will still not work: you
will have to patch them or start from scratch. This is due to the fact
that Form Builder generates code into each form for services.
(Hopefully we can change that at some point.)

That is fantastic news Erik! I'm calling your boss right now to tell him you deserve a raise.

Very much appreciated.

Again, many thanks for fix Erik. I really appreciate it.

I do have one quick question about using actions on a box selector.

I had expected the box selector to work like the list boxes, in that it would show up in the response "selection" control items list (like list boxes do). Instead it shows up in the "response control values" list (see image below). Is this intended? If so, how do I populate the box selector with multiple values, like I would a list box.

Andy,

Good point. That dialog doesn't know that the fr:box-select also
supports xforms:itemset, like the xforms:select and xforms:select1. It
would be easy enough to just add that control there, but I am thinking
that XBL components should have a way to declare that they support an
xforms:itemset. We'll need to think about this one, and in the
meantime I added this bug:

Re: Re: Re: builder, actions, list boxes and box selectors

Many thanks Alessandro for the quick reply, and the explination.

As my great grandmother used always say to me, "you guys are worth your weight in buttermilk" (don't worry, I had no idea what it meant when she told me that either.)

I'll be watching the bug case closely.

Andy,

I just fixed this bug. The fix will be in the next nightly build.
