xforms:bind issue

Hi,

I have an instance say,

<xforms:instance id=”main”>

<main>

</main>

</xforms:instance>

And an input control which binds to data1 & data2.

<xforms:input ref=”instance(‘main’)/data1” />

At a particular point, I have to make the textbox for data1 invisible. So I do an xforms:bind as

<xforms:bind nodeset=” instance(‘main’)/data1” relevant=” instance(‘main’)/data2=’1’”/>

So, with the data1 textbox invisible, I do a form submission which sends the instance to an action; and when I inspect xml instance, I found that the node <data1> is not present in the xml. I assume that this is the default behavior of relevant attribute; but what I need is, I need to make the textbox invisible but I need the xml node as such in the submission instance.

Is there any way by which I can accomplish this?

Expecting your help,

Thanks in advance

Jency

Jency,

Luckily (or thanks to the wisdom of the Forms Working Group ;-) there
is an easy way: just add the following attribute to your
xforms:submission:

<xform:submission ... relevant="false" ...>

This will cause the submission not to prune non-relevant nodes.

Another issue related to the same:

I have an instance which is bind as relevant=false always because I need
it as a hidden control;
<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('main')/data1" relevant="false()"/>

It seems on lading the form, this node is not present in the instance.
But on load itself, I need the instance node because, later I'm
dynamically setting the instance value.

Please help.

Thanks in advance
Jency

Hi,

Still I have an issue related to binding an instance with
relevant=false.

As you said, when I do a form submission as:
<xform:submission ... relevant="false" ...> , I'm getting the non
relevant instance node while submitting, but its value is set to empty
string. I need to get the non relevant instance along with its value. Is
there any way to accomplish this?

I'll make the situation more clear:
I have a parent form which has an instance as
<xforms:instance id="main">
<main>
<data/>
<id/>
</main>
</xforms:instance>

I use the data instance to represent a text and id instance to represent
the id of the corresponding text. So, I add 2 textboxes and bind the 1st
one to data node and 2nd to id node. The value of the data and id text
fields are populated through javascript from a popup window. Since I
don't need to display the id on the screen, I hide it using:

<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('main')/id" relevant="false()"/>

So, with the data and id set, I do a form submission as

<xforms:submission ..... relevant="false"/>

In the resultant instance, I have the id node, but its value is empty
string. I assume its because the relevant attribute is set to false in
the xforms:bind. Is there any way to hide the control but still get its
value in the instance.

Thanks in advance
Jency

RE: xforms:bind issue

Hi,

Again a similar issue.

I have an instance which is bound as readonly:
<xforms:bind nodeset="instance('OriginalInsuredInstance')/OriginalInsured/originalinsuredaddress" readonly="true()"></xforms:bind>

When I do a form submission, the value of the readonly instance becomes blank. I bring value to this field from a child popup jsp. Is there any way by which I can get the value of this instance while submission.

Thanks in advance
Jency
