Olli,
Yes and no. There is no Java API that allows you to say "give me a
running form and allow me to set stuff from the ouside".
But you can do the opposite: pull values from the request, session, or
application context from XForms, with the HTTP request functions:
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-xpath-functions#TOC-HTTP-request-functionsThe Form Runner document id is computed this way:
digest(string(random(true())), 'MD5', 'hex')
