using request parameter in xforms:submission

Is it possible to use a request-parameter in an xforms:submission like this:

xforms page called like this: http://localhost:8080/ops/valueeditor/edit?foo=bar

<xforms:submission id="sample-data-submission"
    serialize="false"
    method="get"
    action="<A href="http://localhost:8080/exist/{request-parameter('foo')}/db/testlimits/test.xml">http://localhost:8080/exist/{request-parameter('foo')}/db/testlimits/test.xml"
    replace="instance"
    instance="testspec-instance"/>

Thanks in advance, Teun

Re: using request parameter in xforms:submission

Administrator

That would be nice, but we don't have such a function in Orbeon Forms
yet. For now this is a little more complicated.

You can use a default-submission attribute with setvalue elements in the
page flow to extract request information. See some doc here:

http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-page-flow#url-extraction

Or you can use a page model that uses oxf:request to extract parameters,
and then passes that data to the page view.

In both cases, you need to initialize an XForms instance with the
result, using the input:data or input:instance URIs. See some doc here:

Re: using request parameter in xforms:submission

In reply to this post by Teun van Eijsden

Teun,

If you want to access the parameters, one way is to have a model for

your page that uses the request-processor to create an instance

that you pass to your view page.

In page-flow.xml

<page id="test" path-info="/mypath"

model="oxf:amodel.xpl"

view="oxf: aview.xhtml"/>

In model file:

<p:processor name="oxf:request" xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline">

<p:input name="config">

<include>/request/parameters</include>

</config>

</p:input>

<p:output name="data" id="data"/>

</p:processor>

in the View file:

<xforms:instance id="request-params" src="input:data"/>

Hopefully, the code does not conflict with the default xforms submission,

if you have one.

RE: using request parameter in xforms:submission

Thanks for the elaborate response. However, if i follow your steps literally, i get this error:

Error Message

Cannot find input "data"

Then if i change <xforms:instance id="request-params" src="input:data"/> to <xforms:instance id="request-params" src="input:instance"/>

there is no error but <xforms:output ref="instance('request-params')"/> is empty.

What am i doing wrong?

Re: using request parameter in xforms:submission

Teun,

I am not sure. Please post your model (xpl) file. My strategy is to

to use the Request processor, but Erik suggested using the

XForms submission (and more likely the best strategy).

But before I can understand what is missing in your view, I

need to see what your model is attempting.
