problem with an external eXist db

Hi Lomobob,

Interesting. Obviously Orbeon Forms is able to write to eXist (when saving), and to query eXist (for the summary page). Now, why wouldn't it be able to read from eXist? To figure this out, I would setup Orbeon Forms' logging as described in the "Development configuration" section linked below, restart the server, reproduce the problem, and see what error you get in the orbeon.log. If the error doesn't make sense to you, feel free to respond attaching your orbeon.log, and we'll try to figure out it.

Hi all,

I installed orbeon (4.0.0.M19.201212120146-PE) on a tomcat (6.0.36). Everything works fine, i create a form with form builder, no problem.

Then I installed on the same machine eXist (1.4.3-rev17131) that I configured to listen on port 8079 to avoid conflict. In order to continue my work, i saved the source of my form in a file, and, as explained here, I created the file properties-local.xml and put it in orbeon/web-inf/ressources/config

Here's the detail of the file properties-local.xml:

<property as="xs:anyURI" name="oxf.fr.persistence.exist.exist-uri" value="http://orbeon:mypassword@localhost:8079/exist/rest/db/orbeon/fr"/>

I also configured eXist with a user orbeon.

Then I restart tomcat, lauch firefox to access orbeon; I click on form builder, and go to the page to create a new form. I enter an application name (toto), a form name (titi), click on continue, then save.

I close the form, then go on the summary page, where i can see my form "toto", but then when I try to open it, I have an error page (Orbeon forms - an error has occured).

I used the administrative client tool of eXist to check, and i found the file data.xml (in orbeon/fr/orbeon/builder/data/a_lot_of_hex_number/ ) that correspond to my form, so I guess my connection with eXist is OK, but i don't know what to do from there...

Thank you !

Lomobob

Hi Lomobob,

From the log, it looks like there was an NullPointerException in eXist, when accessing http://localhost:8079/exist/rest/db/orbeon/fr/orbeon/builder/data/2fb3366d931c01d1da333856b5997918ab582f96/data.xml. Could you try accessing that URL directly, from your browser? What are you getting?

Hmmm...

Couldn't that be due to the support of BetterForm which is now enabled
by default in eXist?

To disable it, see
http://exist.2174344.n4.nabble.com/circumventing-betterform-td4655661.html

++++++++++++++++++++++
The easiest way to disable betterform is to change
webapp/WEB-INF/betterform-config.xml and set the following property to
"true":

<property name="filter.ignoreResponseBody" value="false"
                   description="if 'true' XFormsFilter will not check
reponse body for XForms markup"/>
++++++++++++++++++++++

Hope this helps.
