multiple model files

Forgive me for the newbie questions, but I cannot seem to find an example of
this.

How does one create an xforms app and use multiple model files so that you
don't need to have all off the model definition and metadata in one place.

If you could point me to an example of multiple model files for an app that
would be great.

Thanks,

Jack

Jack,

In your page view, use XInclude to include the different models, with
something like:

<xhtml:head>
   <xi:include href="model1.xml"/>
   <xi:include href="model2.xml"/>
</xhtml:head

Hui Jack,

I found that one time in which multiple models are
required is if you dynamically create itemset lists
for select controls.  Attached is a page that has
multipe models for this very reason. e.g.:

<xforms:select ref="stations" appearance="compact">
  <xforms:label> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stations:&nbsp; </xforms:label>
  <xforms:itemset model="stations-model" nodeset="/pfarr/pfarr[@name='Sta_Info']/pfarr">
    <xforms:label ref="pfstring[@name='Description']"/>
    <xforms:value ref="@name"/>
  </xforms:itemset>
</xforms:select>

When you use different models, you need to specify them
as attributes to xforms elements, including the group
element.

Orbeon Forms assumes the first model declared in the
source if no model attribute is specified.

In Orbeon Forms, you can create your xhtml+xforms page using xslt and
pipelines -- so in a sense you can dynamically create the list from
the server side.

I presume you can also use xinclude on the server side to
use separate files for different models.  I have not tried this.

Hank

Erik,

Thanks for the quick answer, and my ginormous model.xml file thanks you as
well.

Jack
