Form builder forms loaded from disk

[Jarosław Kowalewski]

Hi,

Here I found info that 

https://doc.orbeon.com/faq/form-builder-runner#can-i-use-form-builder-to-create-a-form-then-paste-the-form-into-a-plain-xforms-file-and-expect-it-to-work

but it is possible to run it from disk when form definition is places in the directory

\WEB-INF\resources\forms\appname\formname\form\form.xhtml and forms work. 

Is it any chance that the same can be possible to run from /apps/appname and view.xpl ?  I would like to run the form the same way as e.g. xforms-espresso example. 

Simple test case: replace the content of espresso-order.xhtml by the definition from FB. 

In FB I have

but when I run it via view.xpl

XBL components are not interpreted. Can I say to Orbeon - process such fila via form runner? Or maybe it is possible to reconfigure source directory?

Hi Jarek,

You can put your form definition created with Form Builder in the resources
under `forms/$app/$form/form/form.xhtml`, and tell Form Runner to use the
`resource` persistence to load that form:

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.persistence.provider.$app.$form.form"
value="resource"/>

The thing is that the `resource` persistence is read-only (see RFE #2515),
so you can't edit the form in Form Builder.

You'll let me know if this works for you, if I somehow misunderstood your
question.
