Hi again,
Could someone please clear up my ignorance on this issue:

As part of my continuing evaluation, I have been trying to extract url parameters within the PFC and setting the instance xml. To do this I have
just copied the xforms-controls example and have changed the PFC to:

<page path-info="/xforms" view="view.xml" default-submission="sub.xml">
<setvalue ref="/instance/age" parameter="age"/>
</page>

I have created a default submission:
<instance>
<age/>
<secret/>
<textarea/>
<label/>
<date/>
<flavor/>
<carrier/>
<new-item>
<label/>
<value/>
</new-item>
<range>
<value/>
<letter/>
</range>
<country/>
</instance>

I then access this using a url: http://localhost:9080/orbeon/xforms?age=6

The parameter does not seem to be propogated to the form. Am I missreading the doco?

Regards,
Franco

Franco,

The document is not automatically propagated to the form. You have to
include it as an XForms instance in your view, for example, with an
XSLT view:

<xforms:model id="main-model">
<xforms:instance id="main-instance">
<xsl:copy-of select="doc('input:instance')"/>
</xforms:instance>
</xforms:model>

The submitted XML instance is always available from actions, page
models and page views as the "instance" input. For XPL pipelines, you
access it with:

<p:param name="instance" type="input"/>

With XSLT, you access with:

doc('input:instance')

RE: [ops-users]

Erik,
what you say makes sense, but when I try it i get an error:

Single-node binding expression 'age' returned an empty nodeset

Could it be that the default-submission is not working?

It's working here. Try this:

In the Page Flow:

<page path-info="/franco" view="franco/view.xml"
default-submission="franco/sub.xml">
<setvalue ref="/instance/age" parameter="age"/>
</page>

sub.xml:

<instance>
<age/>
<secret/>
<textarea/>
<label/>
<date/>
<flavor/>
<carrier/>
<new-item>
<label/>
<value/>
</new-item>
<range>
<value/>
<letter/>
</range>
<country/>
</instance>

view.xml:

<html xmlns:f="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/formatting"

RE: [ops-users]

In reply to this post by Erik Bruchez

Thanks again Erik,
Comparing the working version with the non working seems to
reveal the problem:

xsl:version="2.0"

My original xhtml:html:

<xhtml:html xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:f="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/formatting"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xxforms="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xforms"
xmlns:widget="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/widget"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events">

(taken from the xforms controls example) didn't include the xsl:version attribute. (defaulting to "1.0" i guess)
I have confirmed the problem by taking it out of the working version and breaking it. There seems to be some cacheing going on so I needed to stop & start tomcat between adding and removing the xsl:version="2.0" parameter.

Thanks for your speedy response - much appreciated.

Regards,
Franco

Erik,
I have just found a little problem with the 'working' example.
Correct me if I am wrong. It works fine if you do actually
include the 'age' in the query string:

http://localhost:9080/orbeon/xforms?age=23

but if you leave it out:

http://localhost:9080/orbeon/xforms

then the age from the default-subbmission instance
does not propogate. My understanding is that the
value in of the element in the default-submission should
propogate to the form if the value is not specified in the
url querystring (acting as a default). removing the <setvalue>
from the page-flow.xml does result in the value finding its way to
the form. Is this a bug?

Using xsl:version="2.0" tells the PFC that the given document should
be considered as an XSLT stylesheet (as a "simplified stylesheet
module", following the XSLT 2.0 terminology).

Without this attribute, your document is considered by the PFC as a
simple XML document (such as an XHTML document) to send as is to the
epilogue.
