Hi,

As I understand it you are asking two different questions:

1. Can you embed the form in your app?
2. Can you just run HTML, without the Orbeon Forms runtime?

Please let me know if I misunderstood.

On #1:

Currently embedding of Orbeon Forms forms (including those generated
by Form Builder) is limited to portlets and the TYPO3 extension. Some
customers have written their own embedding code, partly based on the
documentation here:

Embedding and Proxying Orbeon Forms
http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/contributor-guide/proxying-orbeon-forms

So we don't have an embedding API at this time, but it would be great
to have one.

On #2, some posts on the need for a runtime in Orbeon Forms:

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/how-orbeon-forms-works-part-i
http://blog.orbeon.com/2012/02/does-xforms-need-to-be-implemented.html

So no, you can't just convert the form to HTML and expect it to run.
The runtime is needed.

#1 can and should be addressed better in the future. #2 is a non-starter.

For now you can use iframes (not great we know), or load forms side by
side with other pages in your app. That is certainly possible.
