Hey Alex

Unfortunaltely its not working. With
serialization="multipart/form-data" I get all input fields of my xform
and not the instance data.

Do you know when the serialization type multipart/related will be
implemented?

Thank you very much for your help,
Karolin

Karolin,

The first question is how would you like this to be done at the HTTP  
level? One way is to use a multipart/form-data with 2 parameters: the

file (as you do now) and the instance. So in XForms, the instance you

submit would look like:

<instance>
     <file>...</file>
     <employee>...</employee>
</instance>

Inside <employee> you have a serialized version of instance
('employee'). You can populate the value of that element with a  
<xforms:setvalue>, using saxon:serialize(instance('employee', 'xml')),

that you run just before doing the submission. Could this work for
you?

Alex
