how can i give dynamic input xml file name to my xforms.?

Hello,

I am able to load and save the xml using xforms, like below

<xf:instance id="order-instance" src="oxf:/apps/customer-order/model.xml" xmlns="">
                        </xf:instance> 
                       
<xf:submission id="load-data" serialization="none"
                       method="get" action="file:///D:/kiran/resources.xml"
                       replace="instance" instance="order-instance"/>
<xf:submission id="save-submission" ref="instance('order-instance')"
                    action="/customer-order/write"
                    method="post" instance="order-instance" replace="none">
                <xf:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error" level="modal">An error occurred while saving...!</xf:message>
               <center> <xf:message type="text-align: center;" ev:event="xforms-submit-done">Successfully Done...!</xf:message></center>
        </xf:submission> 

.Xpl is

<p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline"
          xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors">
    <p:param name="instance" type="input"/>
   

    <p:processor name="oxf:xml-converter"> 
            <p:input name="config"> 
                <config> 
                    <encoding>utf-8</encoding> 
                </config> 
            </p:input> 
            <p:input name="data" href="#instance"/> 
            <p:output name="data" id="converted"/> 
        </p:processor> 

        <p:processor name="oxf:file-serializer"> 
            <p:input name="config"> 
                <config> 
                    <content-type>text/xml</content-type> 
                    <directory>D:/temp</directory> 
                    <file>test.xml</file> 
                </config> 
            </p:input> 
            <p:input name="data" href="#converted"/>

Hi ,

A small change, i want to pass whole path like D:/kiran/resources.xml(i can send this through url as a variable ) to my form to view the details at run time and i have to save the file like resources_---_----.xml(same name of input xml file with some date,time extension attach)

Here i am unable to take the same input file name to .xlp file but i can add date, time as extension using link below
 http://discuss.orbeon.com/Dynamic-file-name-in-file-serializer-tc36159.html#a36166

please help me...!

Thanks,

Hi Kiran,

You can make the file name dynamic (instead of having it always be test.xml), by producing the `config` input of the `oxf:xml-converter` using XSLT. You can search for uses of `oxf:xslt` in the code to find examples of XSLT being used to produce documents in XPL.

Hi Alessandro,

Yes i did that.

How can i pass the input file name(which xml file i have to render into a form) from my jsp file to xhtml file at run time.


Thanks for you reply,


Thanks
Kiran.

Hi,

I am able to send an instance(<books><book>1</book></books> or a path(d:/kiran/sample.xml)
from a jsp page to respected jsp(xhtml) but how can i populate that instance or a path into jsp(xhtml) model->instance tag. I tried like below,
 <xf:model  >
                       
                        <xf:instance id="order-instance"  >       
                                <%=request.getParameter("xml")%>
                        </xf:instance> 
------
</xf:model>
or
 <xf:model  >
                       
                        <xf:instance id="order-instance"  >       
                                <xf:include src="file:///<%=request.getParameter("path")%">         
                        </xf:instance> 
------
</xf:model>


Please give me a model how to do..?

Thanks,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

You have a request parameter that contains the path of a file on disk? If that's the case, it seems *highly* insecure, as this would allow users to access data in other files!

Alex

Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for your reply.

But that is the requirement i have to do.


Please help me how to do.


Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi Kiran,

I'm afraid that the time we have available to answer questions on this community forum is limited, and prefer not to spend it on helping people using the product in a way we wish to discourage. If you're using Orbeon Forms PE, I'd recommend you contact us through your normal support channel, and we should be able to help.
