page view mime-type

Hi,

We store documents in a database without a suffix but can specify the
mime-type.

We found this simple and matcher method works if the document 12345 is
set as mime-type text/xml

<page path-info="/12345" view="http://localhost/doc/12345"/>

<page path-info="/frm/([^/]+)" matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher" view="http://localhost/doc/$
{1}"/>

Ideally I would like to just pass through the whole url but I suspect
the matcher has no access
to the parameters of the url. This would be great if it was possible ..

user get request
/frm/12345?url=/db/v7%63p1=abcd%38p2=efgh
to make view result as ..
view=http://localhost/doc/12345?url=/db/v7%63p1=abcd%38p2=efgh

perhaps with something like

<page path-info="/frm/([^/]+)\?([^/])" matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher"
view="http://localhost/doc/${1}?${2}"/>

If it is not possible there is still scope with xsl where http://localhost/doc/12345
is an xsl document eg

<page path-info="/frm/([^/]+)" matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher" view="http://localhost/doc/$
{1}" default-submission="url.xml">
<setvalue ref="/get/url" parameter="url"/>
</page>


<get>
<url/>
</get>

However the problem I've encountered is that a mime-type of 'text/xsl'
is not sufficient to tell PFC http://localhost/doc/12345 is an xsl
document.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
John Russell.

Re: page view mime-type

This works fine with text/xml
Please ignore.

GET parameter

Hi,

I wish to map a GET request to obtain an external document

The external document server can substitute a parameter for the instance so if the query-string

could be relayed my problem would be solved.

with something like

ASSUMING ABOVE NOT POSSIBLE ..

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-page-flow

If passing parameters needs to be done (per reference-page-flow documentation) and transformed the view

represents a stylesheet to generate the xhtml, can you advise how this should be configured and whether an

XPL file is necessary. Is the transformation understood or does it need to be explicitly declared?

Sample GET might be

/orbeon/frm/12345?url=/db/v7%3Fp1=abcd%26p2=efgh

Insufficient .. not working ..

XSL document contains

<xforms:instance id="instance" src="{concat('http://localhost', /get/url)}"/>

What is missing from this configuration to populate url.xml and get the transform to operate?

Is the XSL correct? Is a document() function required in the XSL? Documentation says this

is all that's necessary...

Hello<xsl:value-of select="/employee/name"/>!

Errors:

Got invalid return code while loading URI: http://localhost, 403

Thanks in advance,

John Russell

John,

Which one is it that you are aiming for:

* The request to be proxied to that other URL (the server gets what is at http://localhost/doc/${1} and returns that to the browser)?
* The browser to be redirected to that URL? (Because you put localhost, maybe this is not what you intended.)
* The document at http://localhost/doc/${1} to be retrieved and to be retrieved and interpreted as XForms, just as if it was loaded from disk?

Re: GET parameter

Alex,

thank you for your reply,

our objective is for

* the document at http://localhost/doc/${1} to be retrieved

and interpreted as XForms (or XForms xslt stylesheet), just

as if it was loaded from disk?

This seems to work it the content type is text/xml

Possible Method 1

=================

however if we are able to supply a parameter to this url eg

http://localhost/doc/12345?url=/db/v7%3Fp1=abcd%26p2=efgh

then our application (/doc/) would use a placeholder in the document

<xforms:instance resource="http://localhost$$url$$"/>

to form the correct instance request resulting in this content

<xforms:instance src="http://localhost/db/v7?p1=abcd&p2=efgh"/>

which makes it very easy for us.

This could potentially be easily mapped from

https://host.domain.com/orbeon/frm/12345?url=/db/v7%3Fp1=abcd%26p2=efgh

hence the enquiry whether access to the query_string was available with

page-flow configuration.

Possible Method 2

=================

If forming such a view url from the get request to Orbeon cant be done

as above then the document (http://localhost/doc/12345) can be an xslt

stylesheet which we have so far successfully attempted eg

However we found the xhtml/xform document was correctly formed from the apparent transform

but technique didn't yield any data with

<xforms:instance id="instance" src="{concat('http://localhost', /get/url)}"/>

producing the error

Got invalid return code while loading URI: http://localhost, 403

John.

OK. Then I'd use a view="proxy.xpl" in the page flow. Then in proxy.xpl, use the request generator to get the request parameters, generate a config for the URL generator (http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/processors-generators-url), and pipe the result of the URL generator into the "data" output of the pipeline.

Here it looks like you have something a bit different: you are loading an instance (not the XForms) based on a request parameter. You can do this with a submission on xforms-model-construct-done, using the xxforms:get-request-parameter() to get the value of the parameter "url".
