> If the URL is an absolute path, the URL is rewritten

>  * in some cases, like separate deployment, a different context is prepended
> depending on the type of resources
>
> But I'm not sure how to configure Orbeon to prepend a different context in
> some cases. (for xforms:submission resource attributes)

> I tried setting     <property as="xs:anyURI"
