multiple select values in separate nodes

When a piece of xforms looks like this:

<xforms:select ref="fruits/fruit">

<xforms:item><xforms:label>Banana</xforms:label><xforms:value>banana</xf
orms:value></xforms:item>
<xforms:item><xforms:label>Pear </xforms:label><xforms:value>pear
</xforms:value></xforms:item>
<xforms:item><xforms:label>Apple </xforms:label><xforms:value>apple
</xforms:value></xforms:item>
</xforms:select>

The resulting data when all 3 are selected looks like this:
<fruits><fruit>banana pear apple</fruit></fruits>

What I'd like to see is:
<fruits><fruit>banana</fruit><fruit>pear</fruit><fruit>apple</fruit></fr
uits>

How would one accomplish this?

Kind regards, Teun van Eijsden

RE: multiple select values in separate nodes

select/itemset/copy will work; select/itemset/value or select/item/value
will only do the leaf node.
I haven't tried this in Orbeon but it ought to work.

In reply to this post by Teun van Eijsden

XForms as an xforms:copy element which can be used instead of
xforms:value, and this would allow to implement your use case.
However, this is not yet supported by Orbeon.

We've been wanting to support this for years, here is the RFE:

http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=305615&group_id=168&atid=350207

If anybody wants to help implement this, we would be very happy!

In the meanwhile, you would have to work around this. You could store
the value into a separate instance, and upon xforms-value-change
perform the appropriate xforms:insert / xforms:delete to copy around
the elements and values.

Re: RE: Re: multiple select values in separate nodes

You can use the tokenize() XPath function.

tokenize(fruits/fruit,' ')[2]

...will retrieve the 2nd item...

RE: RE: multiple select values in separate nodes

In reply to this post by Leigh L. Klotz, Jr.

Thanks for your suggestion. When I run your example I get this error:

xforms:itemset element must contain one xforms:value or one
xforms:copy element.

Running on Orbeon Forms 3.6.0.200712061930

When I replace copy by value it runs without errors.
It's strange because the text in the error suggests it should work with
copy.

RE: RE: RE: multiple select values in separate nodes

I don't think Orbeon supports xforms:copy at this time. Instead you can
used ev:event="xforms-value-changed".

xforms:copy workaround

From an earlier email:

Does anyone have a specific example of exactly what this workaround would look like? For example, here is a copy from a select box and an action to go with it:

<xforms:select1 id="roster" ref="instance('away-roster-doc')/statistic/team/player"
appearance="minimal">
<xforms:label>Players</xforms:label>
<xforms:item>
<xforms:label>Add Player</xforms:label>
<xforms:value />
</xforms:item>
<xforms:itemset id="roster-node"
nodeset="instance('away-roster-doc')/statistic/team/player">
<xforms:label ref="player-metadata/name/@last" />
<xforms:copy ref="./*" />
</xforms:itemset>
</xforms:select1>

<xforms:trigger>
<xforms:label>Add Player</xforms:label>
<xforms:action ev:event="DOMActivate">
<xforms:insert
nodeset="sports-event/team[team-metadata/@alignment='away']/player" at="1"
position="after" origin="instance('stats-template')" />
<xforms:setvalue
ref="sports-event/team[team-metadata/@alignment='away']/player/player-metadata/@player-key"
value="instance('away-roster-doc')/statistic/team/player/player-metadata/@player-key"
/>
</xforms:action>
</xforms:trigger>

This inserts a new player node and copies the selected player-key into it. Forgive me for being thick, but how would this be done with ev:event="xforms-value-changed".

Thank You

I just checked in an example, as part of the XForms sandbox, which
shows how you can use xforms:delete and xforms:insert to do what
xforms:copy does. You will find this example attached here. Note that
this example uses the context() function, which has only been
implemented a few days ago. You can use a nightly build (http://tinyurl.com/239lvp
- this link will expire) or replace context()/@value by
instance('main-instance')/@value in the code.

Thanks Alex, that worked swell. I have another general question about inserts. I know xforms only considers homogenous collections so if you wnat to insert <c/> into the following:

<list>
<a/>
<b/>
</list>

it will alway be intersted first no matter what "postion" and "at" are set to? eg:

<list>
<c/>
<a/>
<b/>
</list>

I think that's just an xforms thing, right? Was just wondering if orbeon had some extention that would place <c/> at the end (as our schema requires). Otherwise I guess an xsl post-process would have to do it.

No need for an extension. If you are using nodeset="/list/*", your new
element will be added after the last element in <list/>. And don't
worry too much about that "homogenous collections" restriction in the
XForms specification. That restriction should be relaxed in the
specification and we largely do not enforce it as doing so is often
just awkward for those writing XForms, and it doesn't make
implementing XForms much easier.

You can easily have XForms served by Orbeon Forms, and then call other
services written in the language of your choice. If you want to
generate XForms on the server side with Java or PHP, things get a
little more tricky as you need to have Orbeon Forms process what you
generate before it is sent to the client. For Java, we provide a
filter, which makes this very easy. But we don't have a off-the-shelf
solution for PHP.

If you don't really need to have the XForms produced in PHP, then you
might want to put your XForms in Orbeon Forms. Otherwise, you might to
research if there is in PHP something similar to filters on the Java
side. Or you can write a service in Orbeon Forms that does the XForms
processing, and call it from PHP in every page.

Just a note on this: in XForms 1.1, the notion of homogenous

and we never implemented it as it was easier not to!

In our model, the php grabs the form from Orbeon and sends data/events back to orbeon. Sounds like that's the easy option?

Let me see if I understand this correctly. You are saying that the
XForms is deployed in Orbeon Forms, and that PHP code is getting the
page from Orbeon Forms and includes it in the page it sends to the
browser. Then Ajax request from the browser go directly to Orbeon
Forms. Is this correct?

Yes, sounds good. Here just a couple of things you will need to keep
in mind when doing this:

* When you get the page from Orbeon Forms in PHP, you will need to
forward cookies to the browser appropriately, so when an Ajax request
comes back to Orbeon Forms, Orbeon Forms can retrieve information from
the session for that user.
* For the browser to send back the session cookie to Orbeon Forms in
the Ajax requets, the path and host needs to be set appropriately on
the cookie.

Re: orbeon as forms service

Thanks Alex. We were wondering about how to configure the links to the css and js files. This seems hardcoded somewhere, eg.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/orbeon/xforms-server/xforms-min.css" >
<script type="text/javascript" src="/orbeon/xforms-server/xforms-min.js" p0:url-norewrite="true">

Is the solution to disregard these, move the files somewhere else and link to them?
