setvalue xs:dateTime

Hello,

Is there a "best way" to set the xs:dateTime value of a date element in an instance during submission?

I've tried

 <setvalue ref="/forms/DateHeureEmission" value="current-dateTime()"/>

in pageflow,

<setvalue ref="instance('document-instance')/DateHeureEmission" value="current-dateTime()"/>

in detail and model, but have been unable to make it work.

Thanks in advance,

You are doing this in the page-flow.xml?

You probably want to put this logic in your
xforms/xhtml page and not in the controller part
where setvalue was more for parameter passing.

What about something like this?

<xforms:bind nodeset="dateTime" type="xs:dateTime"
        calculate="if (. = '') then current-dateTime() else ." />

which will set to now if the content is empty

Thanks, Hank! Like magic -- on the nightly built -- in the model.

 Hank,

I discovered that your xpath entering dateTime on Orbeon 3.6 but acted strangely on the  nightly built. I played around with it:

<xforms:bind nodeset="DateHeureEmission" type="xs:dateTime"
       calculate="if (. = '') then xs:dateTime(now()) else ." />

The next issue is getting xs:dateTime "2008-06-01T10:33:02.31Z" w/o the timezone; ::2008-06-01T10:33:02.31. Tried a number of fixes, even in properties.xml and haven't gotten there.

Thanks,
