issues in xform submission action mapping in 3.6

Hello,

We are in the process of upgrading our Orbeon framework from 3.5 to 3.6.
One thing I'm trying to figure out which worked in 3.5 but not in 3.6 is
the xforms:submission action mapping to a page.

We have this xform:submission in our xform (produced by a java class)
        <xforms:submission id="default-submission" method="post"
action="../worklist/save.view?taskId=<%=taskId%>&userId=<%=mUserId%>
&claimedBy=<%=mClaimedBy%>  separator="&amp;"
        replace="all"/>

<%=xxx%>  are replaced by variable values.

We have this in page-flow.xml:

<page path-info="/worklist/save.view" model="worklist/saveOutput.xpl"  />

Now, with 3.6, we got:
PWC1222: Path
http://localhost:8080/WorklistWebApplication/worklist/save.view?taskId=5&userId=john&claimedBy=john 
does not start with a "/" character

oxf:/config/xforms-widgets.xsl      27      N/A    
processing submission
dispatching XForms event
event \u2192 xxforms-submit
target id \u2192 default-submission
    <submission
action="../worklist/save.view?taskId=5&userId=john&claimedBy=john"
id="default-submission" method="post" replace="all" separator="&"/>

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Mei

More to this problem:

I changed the <xform:submission> to:

<xforms:submission id="default-submission" method="post"
action="/worklist/save.view?taskId=5&userId=john &claimedBy=john"  
separator="&amp;"
       replace="all"/>

page-flow.xml:
<page path-info="/worklist/save.view.*" model="worklist/saveOutput.xpl"  />

Now, the action should match the page since the attribute of action
matches the path-info, but it still failed with:
PWC1222: Path
http://localhost:8080/worklist/save.view?taskId=2&userId=dale&claimedBy=dale 
does not start with a "/" character

Strange is even the path:
http://localhost:8080/worklist/save.view?taskId=2&userId=dale&claimedBy=dale 
isn't correct since it skips the context root and directly adds the URI
after http://localhost:8080

I'm not sure how the URI is formed, ops.log has the below:

Also, it worked in 3.5, though I used 3.6 version of web.xml according

Where do you see this error? If this is an exception, could you paste
the full stack trace?

Hi, Alex,

It is a result of an error page, in the second post I did the following:
-----------------------
I changed the <xform:submission> to:

<xforms:submission id="default-submission" method="post" action="/worklist/save.view?taskId=5&userId=john &claimedBy=john"  separator="&amp;"
      replace="all"/>

page-flow.xml:
<page path-info="/worklist/save.view.*" model="worklist/saveOutput.xpl"  />

Now, the action should match the page since the attribute of action matches the path-info, but it still failed with:
PWC1222: Path http://localhost:8080/worklist/save.view?taskId=2&userId=dale&claimedBy=dale does not start with a "/" character

What it seems like the URI of the action is resolved to the full qualified http://localhost:8080/worklist/save.view?taskId=2&userId=dale&claimedBy=dale  (http://localhost:8080/worklist/save.view?taskId=2&userId=dale&claimedBy=dale ), instead of from the context root. I use the single war approach, but I changed the context root to my own context root, would that be a problem?

Thanks
Mei

OK, I see. Can you try setting the oxf.xforms.optimize-local-submission
property to false, and try this again. If this works, you have a
work-around, but I would be interested in seeing an example we can
reproduce here, so we can fix this one.

OK - then maybe it's not what I thought. Could you create a simple
example that reproduces this, and attach it to your response here? Since
you have your own page flow, I guess you will have to go with zipped
app. More on:

I got it to work eventually (with debugging the orbeon source)

1. The property oxf.xforms.optimize-local-submission should be false, in my case, true would never work.
2. The action (or resource) in xforms:submission  should be a path either relative to this xform document (in my a case, a jsp produces the xform document) or an absolute path starting with "/YourContextRoot/", taking out the context root will not work. I was a little confused by what is said in the User Guide  (http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-page-flow) "The XForms submission's action attribute instead matches a PFC <page> element's path-info attribute.", it is not a String match but a URI match.

I'm still a little puzzled by 1, the URI resolved from action attribute is always a fully qualified URI starting with http://localhost:8080,  this URI is given to ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher () and always will throw exception since the path must start with "/", how is it supposed to work with optimized call to servlet instead of open URIConnection?

To test this, it could be a JSP in xforms-jsp producing an xform, which has submission with action/resource pointing to a page.

I'm using the 3.6 (orbeon-3.6.0.200712061930).
