update instance in a XPL

Hello,

Is there a way I can modify submitted instance content in an XPL?

Re: update instance in a XPL

Madhuri,

I feel I may be misunderstanding you...

Within your XPL file you can use any of the

transform pipelines, generally, oxf:xslt.

If you want to alter the instance within your form,

your submission could replace the same instance

that was referenced.

HTH,

Hank

Re: Re: update instance in a XPL

Ok I will try to explain better.

Let's consider an example. I have a form in which user can enter empID. Which is then submitted to the XPL for further processing. I have a custom java processor which finds out department for this empID and updates it in the department element. Now I want this to be updated in instance. There are some sub XPLs which are invoked where I use input instance. So I was wondering if I can modify instance in my intermediate java processor.

<employee>
<empno><empno>
<department><department>
<employee>

Hope I am clear now.

Regards,
Madhuri

Re: Re: Re: update instance in a XPL

I see.

I don't believe your processor can change the input only,

but must have an output. Sorry, I can't answer this without

a close check of the source code, perhaps later.

For the change to take effect in your form,

use the attributes

replace="instance" and

instance="instance('my-instance')"

the same instance the submission is binded to.

Regards,

Hank

In reply to this post by NewUser

You almost certianly do not need a custom java processor to do this. The easy way is to submit a query, perhaps with a submission to eXist via xquery or perhaps using the sql processor. Where do you keep the table or xml with which you link the employee to the department?
