xxforms:property in src attribute of instance

Hello hello,

I am trying to do something like:
<xforms:instance id="my" src="xxforms:property('my.property')"/>

where the url (src attribute) of that xforms instance is defined in
orbeon properties.xml file.

But it doesn't seem I can not get it working this way.
Would you have any recommendation on how to achieve this ?

Thank you in advance,

Niko,

Sorting XML by date

Hi all,

Lets say I have a instance like this:

<!--<xf:instance id="main">

<person-name>

</person-name>

</entity>

<person-name>

</person-name>

</entity>

<person-name>

</person-name>

</entity>

</entities>

</xf:instance> -->

And I want display a list of all the dob in order, like:

<xf:repeat nodeset="exf:sort(instance('main')/entity, '*:person-name/*:', 'number')" id="testRepeat">

<tr>

<td>

<xf:output value="." />

</td>

</tr>

<tr />

</xf:repeat></table>

Obviously this does not work as there is a ‘-‘ character in the date field. But I need to keep it in this format as I have a <xf:bind nodeset instance('main')/entity/person-name/dob" type="xs:date"/>, and I believe I need to keep it in this format, or do i??

So I was wondering if anyone has any ideas of how I would do this. Is there any other way without using exf:sort?

Thanks,

Are you using a recent nightly build? I am asking, as
xxforms:property() is a recent addition. If you are, what is the error
you are getting? Could you quote the exception (say the top 50 lines)?

If you want <dob> to be an xs:date, then instead of 1-12-2018 you want
to have 2018-12-01. Once you have resolved that, if this is possible,
then you can sort just by lexical order, i.e. using "text" as the
third argument to exf:sort(), or just skipping that argument as "text"
is the default.

Alex,

Thank you for the fast answer.

No I'm using the final release from last december.
Would there be a stable release I could use that supports it ?
Or another way to achieve it ?

What you can do is instead run a submission upon receiving xforms-
ready or xforms-model-construct-done:

Re: Re: xxforms:property in src attribute of instance

Hi Erik,

Thank you for your email. But ...

I'm afraid I did not understand your answer.

What I am trying to do, is to internationalize muttiple pipeline processors.
I would like to be able to change in only one place which language I
would like to get my server running and then all the xforms instance
would load the proper i18n file.

Niko,

Not sure what you mean by "internationalize muttiple pipeline
processors"?

But if you are talking about internationalizing forms, then you need
the following:

1. A notion of current language
2. Resources in multiple languages, whether stored in a single XML
document or multiple XML documents
3. Switching the resources in an XForms page based on #1 and #2

So far does this look like what you are trying to achieve?

Hi Erik,

Thank you again for you answer.

Well. Yes. Out of context it made no sense. Lack of precision on my
part. Here's one example:

More than that, I need to be able to keep the current language
throughout the flow of processors in the xpl file.

Yes I have done those. Although not in the above URL.

I was thinking about changing it simply on the server side in the first place.

Yes. definitely.

The current language could be stored in the session, or in the
request, depending on the scenario. If in the request, store it there
at the beginning of the p

So far we have used two different strategies:

1. Use multiple files (or resources accessed through a URL) loaded
through an XForms submission depending on the current language. In
this case, it is good practice to use unambiguous URLs, like /
resources/en, /resources/fr, etc.

2. Store all the resources in a single file or XForms instance. In
this case, you can use xml:lang to discriminate.
