RE: RE: Re: Returning servlet messages to form after submit

There's no way to do the replace if the submission will throw the xforms-submit-error, is there?  That's primarily what I want to use it for: letting the user know a project name already exists, etc, so I want to stop the submission but replace the instance to let them know there's a problem. I've got a workaround though, if there's no support for this now.

Thank you, Alex. That was what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure.

Stephanie,

Yes, typically you'll call the servlet from XForms using an xforms:submission replace="instance". So you'll send XML to the servlet, and get XML back. You store the XML you receive in another instance, and decide what to do next based on what you got, like maybe display an error message which is inside the payload returned by the servlet.
