page-flow.xml vs page-flow.xpl

I’m studying the DMV example. What is the purpose of having a page-flow.xpl that does nothing but call page-flow.xml? Why not just have page-flow.xml?

What initiates the call to page-flow.xpl anyway? If both files are present, is the pipeline chosen over the other by default?

Thanks,

Don

Don,

page-flow.xpl is there just so that the main page flow can delegate to
sub-page flows. For example, the main page flow contains:

<page path-info="/forms*" model="/examples/forms/page-flow.xpl"/>

This tells the main page flow, then finding anything starting with
"/forms", to just call the specified page-flow.xpl. That pipeline just
calls up a "child" page flow processor, which runs the child page flow
configuration file (/examples/forms/page-flow.xml).

The bottom line is that this is a little trick to create sub-page flow
without having an actual sub-page flow functionality built into the Page
Flow Controller.

Re: page-flow.xml vs page-flow.xpl

Hey Eric,

i just followed this post. And I am able to write some code into a file, according to the "path-info" found at the main page-flow.xml

<page path-info="/(.*)" matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher" model="sub-page-flow.xpl"/>

But how do i get my sub-page-flow to replace the original? Or get Orbeon to read the sub-page-flow.xml? I think I remember, that these model.xpl which is called in the page-flow.xml doesn't have any pipeline output back?

So, now I am at the point where i have my document ready, but don't know where to put it.

greetz bene

What do you want to achieve in the first place?
