n00b Qs: Capabilities & Current preferred Apache->TomCat method

I am looking at using Orbeon CE to fulfill a client's request.  I have the following requirements:

Implement a forms management solution
• Public forms available to prospects
• Password-protected (AKA restricted access) forms for clients
• (Implied Req:) A system that identifies the user and controls access to forms and/or the data provided.  Clients/prospects can't view other client/prospects information
• Ability to query the database and get reports by client name, date, and a few other criteria.
• A secure place method to store session notes (like medical records).
• Ability to start with a dozen forms and grow from there.

Would you agree that Orbeon is the correct solution to use and that it can meet these requirements?



Also..
If I accept this project, it will be hosted on a VPS running CentOS and MySQL, your standard LAMPP configuration. I've researched the installation methods mod_jk, mod_rewrite, reverse proxy and have found the 2006 post saying to avoid mod_jk and the 2009 post saying that the 2006 instructions no longer work (http://orbeon-forms-ops-users.24843.n4.nabble.com/Apache-frontent-instructions-out-of-date-td624098.html#a624098) with a link pointing to helpful instructions (that no longer exist).

I'm kind-of surprised and worried that there isn't documentation on what I would expect to be a common configuration. I've not run TomCat before.  I've got about 50% of my time for this over a two week period to get this installed and two forms up and running. If this is a reasonable install method, that should be fine. If this process will involve using a mallet to make everything fit together, my lack of Tomcat & Orbeon experience will mean an automatic project fail.  Is there a current how-to guide you can point me to? It doesn't need to be a step-by-step screenshot job, just something current and accurate. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

I am out of the office until 26th July

People

If possible I would like to bring up the numeric keyboard for a web app
I am developing for iPads.  For this to happen I need:

<input type='number'/>

However as you can see below, Orbeon uses type="text".  

<input id="numericResult-control_1*2-1$xforms-input-1" type="text"
name="numericResult-control_1*2-1$xforms-input-1" value=""
class="xforms-input-input xforms-type-decimal">

Does anyone know if it's possible to change this?

Cheers

Steven

Steven,

I would make sense, and we could derive this directly from the type of
node bound to the <xforms:input>. I.e., if it is a numeric type, then
we should use type="number" in the produced markup. For now, I added
an RFE for this:
