We have some migration information here in the (now old) 3.0 release  
notes:

   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/home-changes-30

and here:

   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-migration

Rather than taking a 2.8 build and updating it with 3.6 material, I  
would rather do the opposite: take a 3.6 build, and migrate your  
application to it. That may sound like more work at first, but in the  
end this may be less error-prone.

Also note that there are two different types of migration:

1. Make your existing application work with 3.6, without upgrading to  
the new XForms engine.

2. Upgrading your application to leverage the new XForms engine.

It is probably wise to start with #1, although to be fair, the old  
XForms engine has not been tested much in recent releases.

Not really, we no longer support the Eclipse plugin (although some  
people still use it successfully).

Thanks Erik

*   I m sorry, i didnt understand how can i take a 3.6 build, and migrate my application to it ?

  Because my problem i don't know which jars in the lib i must change?? and the informations in the two links dont answer this problem.

 I created a new project with eclipse (OPS 2.8) , after this i developped a test application that worked without problems, so for testing migration i changed the lib directory by the one that i found in the war of the 3.0 example, but after this, i had the following error :

Type	class org.orbeon.saxon.xpath.StaticError
Message	XPath syntax error at char 92 on line 501 in {...URL('/images/bulb-large.gif...}: Cannot find a matching 1-argument function named {java:org.orbeon.oxf.pipeline.StaticExternalContext}rewriteResourceURL()
Location	oxf:/config/xforms-to-xhtml.xsl

* And how can i make my existing application work with 3.6, without upgrading to the new XForms engine.
 
 Thanks

You would do this by progressively migrating part of the WEB-INF/
resources folder of your old application to a 3.6 build.

If you don't know at all the inner workings of your application, that  
may not be easy to do.

You probably wouldn't change any if you start with a 3.6 build, which  
is one of the reasons I was recommending doing this this way.
That may be due to some older versions of the files under WEB-INF/
resources/config.

By default, if you don't explicitly change your code as per the  
documentation I sent in earlier posts, your application will still use  
the old XForms engine.

Hi

  Yes,  the good method is to strat with a 3.6 build and migrate the application progressively to the cible version.

 But how can I have an empty build 3.6 (without neither apps nor epilogues ..) ? I think i must use the .war  of the orbeon Forms, but it will be a lot of works to remove apps and  delete dependencies b/w pages and page-flows , epilogues..

 can You give me a clear Idea ?

  Thanks and regards.

Second try, Mail.app lost my first email.

Try the following:

* Unzip orbeon.war, e.g. into orbeon-war
* The resources are under orbeon-war/WEB-INF/resources/
* Remove orbeon-war/WEB-INF/resources/apps/*

This will give you clean resources, without all the apps.

Hopefully you won't need to modify the default epilogue, now in orbeon-
resources-private.jar. In recent builds, it is configurable through  
properties.xml, which makes it even less likely to require  
modifications.
