how to call xpl from XForms on submit

Hello,

Let I have a xform with fields binding to the instance for an xml as below

<A>

<aname></aname>

<doc><collection/><id/></doc>









</A>

I have an xpl which collects the tag related data into a collection as
separate xml and putting its name as id in <id> tag and also saving
collection in collection tag.

How should I run this xpl from the xform.?

The following change I made in pageflow and in submit action has the same
data as that of path-info in page-flow.xml

<page path-info="/ada/" model="xx.xpl" view="form.xhtml"/>

But on submit the form is not able to run the xpl.

submission fails with replace instance

I have a pipeline which talks to a third part service using the delegation processor.

When I run this with Tomcat and my Browser on the same machine everything works fine. But when I move the Tomcat server to a remote machine the pipeline no longer works. It gives me three connection timeouts in the catalina log file.

I've tried posting data direct to the pipeline and it works fine, it only fails when I call it from an action button on my web page as follows -

<xforms:submission id="do-get-via" ref="/model/form/destination" method="post" action="/road-plan/gazetteer-lookup"

replace="instance" instance="destination">

<xforms:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error" level="modal">Unable to contact service</xforms:message>

</xforms:submission>

I'm guessing this has something to do with security settings, with the Ajax request from xforms being different.

Do you have any suggestions on what I should look at next ?

Note: The third party service I'm calling is on the same external server that I have put Tomcat on. I have configured my delegation call to use http://127.0.0.1/third-part-service

Richard,

Are the connection time out messages you get for the URL of the
service that runs the XPL or for the web service called by the XPL?

Re: how to call xpl from XForms on submit

In reply to this post by Prameela R

Hard to say where the problem is with the call to your XPL without
seeing your code and without any information about the error you are
getting. My recommendation is to look at an example that does this
(say the instant translation example) and if that doesn't help to
followup here with more information, including the error message you
are getting.

RE: Re: submission fails with replace instance

In reply to this post by Alessandro Vernet

I'm assuming the timeout is OPS trying to connect to my other service because I get an error message in my catalina log file and eventually I get an error message on the client.

I've pared everything down to the bare minimum and it still fails. I made my XPL ignore any data posted to it from the web page so that it would always make a call even if the input wasn't working from the client browser. It still fails in the same way.

The error message I see is -

org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector executeWithRetry
INFO: I/O exception (java.net.ConnectException) caught when processing requestL connectino timed out: connect
org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector executeWithRetry
INFO: Retrying request

It tries three times before giving up.

I've attached my test version.

If I call /road-plan/test-gaz I get a result.
If I call /road-plan/test-gaz-page and press the test button I get the timeout error on the server.
And if I call /road-plan/test-gaz-page from a browser running on the server it works fine.

The only thing I haven't tried is moving the service I am calling from my XPL to a different server to the XPL server to see if it is a loopback issue.

I was due to deliver this s/w to my client yesterday, and am now pulling my hair out, my manager wants me to re-write the s/w without OPS.

RE: Re: submission fails with replace instance

In reply to this post by Alessandro Vernet

I replaced the third party web service call in my test to one on an external machine and I still get the same result.

I've attached the new version of test-gaz.xpl so that you can see what I'm doing.

What I'm trying to find out is what makes the security different when calling an XPL direct as opposted to calling it from Ajax - but I can't find anything on the web.

Another observation -

I tried using tcptrace (http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcpTrace/) between my browser and the server to view the requests to see if I could spot anything different in the requests and to my surprise everything works when using it.

There seems to be two options for this -

1 - it isn't passing everything through
2 - the referer is set to localhost:8080 and I assume that when I am not using it the referer is my actual server name:8080

This is the call direct to the pipeline -

GET /freight-ops/road-plan/test-gaz HTTP/1.1
