Thanks, Tambet and Erik!

Erik, we are planning to have an offline client (stand alone desktop app) that renders the Orbeon form in the same way the browser is doing for the online submission. We are required to build the desktop app that does this, so I am investigating ways of rendering it without much effort. We are considering Java Swing or JavaFX from a technology perspective.

I had one another related question. Orbeon does provide HTML Converter that converts the XHTML form to pure HTML and they also explain in the documentation on how to use HTML converter with XPL. However I would like to know how to invoke the HTML converter from a Java servlet (possibly in a different web context and not same as Orbeon). And if this is possible, can I use that rendered HTML to open it in any browser or a desktop app that supports HTML rendering.

Hope I was clear enough!

Cheers,
K
