document UID when editing

Hi,
I'm looking about using orbeon and try some use case and for now, I need to get back document UID after saving data in a form. I read that this id is in xxforms:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/document so I may be able to get it (after learning this new language) but for now i tried to modify url with an id 'toto' as my url is http://localhost:8080/orbeon/fr/test/test/edit/toto and after saving the form I can see my data in the summary and the edit url is the same !
My question is to know if I can safely use this way to fill my forms? (my own application may generate UID before calling orbeon with the edit url)

Thanks in advance
Guillaume

Guillaume,

It works because Form Runner calls the persistence API to retrieve the
data corresponding to the id you provided ('toto'), but since there is
no data, it keeps the original empty instance. When you save, it saves
under the id you provided. What you do seems reasonable, and I can't
think of why we would prevent this from working in the future, but of
course you never know. If I were you, I'd go with this for now, and
address any problem that might arrise in the future at that time.
