forwarding large content

I’ve got a page with a lot of content. Ultimately we’ll probably break it up into a number of pages, but for now we’d like to work with it as one page.

Initially I had trouble loading the page in question, but resolved that problem by setting instance-passing="forward" on the <result> page that calls my large page.

So now my page with a lot of content loads, and I can enter content into the form fields, but when I submit the form, it won’t move to the next page, even though I have set instance-passing to “forward” on that <result> page as well. IE just freezes, and Firefox gives me its “connection reset” page. It won’t even update itself if I don’t association any action with the submit.

Any ideas, other than breaking the whole thing up into multiple pages (which I’d rather not do yet)?

I know it will work if the form content is reduced. I’ve confirmed that.

Thanks,

Don

Don,

How large is large? Posting with HTTP POST should work even if the
document is "large". But I guess it all comes down to your earlier
connection problems, which so far we haven't seen here.

RE: forwarding large content

In reply to this post by Smith, Donald

Erik,

Here's the basic files for our app. We created a new Orbeon project in
Eclipse and added in the following files into the WEB-INF/resources
folder.

Copy the page-flow.xml into the "config" folder and the rest of the
files into the "resources" folder. Copy this into the tomcat webapps
directory, then start tomcat. You can access the app by using
http://localhost:8080/tooleval/toolEvaluation.

On the first page you'll have one choice. Select that and on the second
page pick "XML Editor". This will take you to the third page which is a
pretty large form. At the bottom you'll find the Submit button.

I was having a problem originally with the second page (in IE it would
not move to the third page once the form for the third page got to a
certain size), but this was solved by setting
"instance-passing='forward'" in the page flow. I thought this would
solve the problem for the third page as well, but it doesn't. In IE,
nothing happens when you submit the third page, and in Firefox you get
the "page reset" message.

Thanks,

Don

PS. We intended to send the entire .war file, but it was 36 MB, so we
decided not to. :-)
