xforms:set-value action raises IllegalStateException

Hi,

When I run the attached form (dependent-lists.xhtml) with the latest release of Orbeon (orbeon-4.3.0.1.201308150213-CE), it does not behave as I’d expect. The attached error message is raised (log.txt).

It contains 3 select1 controls (in a repeat).

·         The first has two items, a and b (apart from the empty value).

·         The second’s items depend on the first’s value (if a is selected, it has items c and d).

·         The third’s items depend on the second’s value (if c is selected, it has items e and f).

Initially, a, c and e are selected. When you select b in the first dropdown, the error is raised.

I try to accomplish that the values of the second and the third dropdown are set to the empty string when their value becomes out-of-range. Unfortunately, the xforms-out-of-range is not triggered when the items of a dropdown change, but its value doesn’t (or am I missing something?). So I registered an event listener and searched for the dropdowns whose items depend on the current dropdown. If their value is out-of-range, I set it to the empty string (this action fails).

Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to do this?

I use:

-          Apache tomcat 7.0.26

-          Windows 7

-          Chrome 30.0.1599.69 m

Thanks in advance,
