xxf:get-request-header() is not passed in Pdf generation (<fr:pdf-button/>)

[Chunyu]

Hello,

We are facing missing content in the pdf generation and we use the default pdf button from Orbeon.

We found the problem is from xxf:get-request-header(), which is not passed into the pdf request when the button is clicked.

We defined some variables which are from xxf:get-request-header and put them in the 'relevant' of the bind. Please see one example:

<xf:model id="fr-form-model" xxf:expose-xpath-types="true">

      <xf:var name="is-appraisal" value="xxf:get-request-header('isAppraiser')  = 'true'"/>

.....

<xf:bind id="questionnaire" name="questionnaire" ref="questionnaire"  relevant="$is-appraisal">

....

We have the pdf version of that form instance, that 'questionnaire' is missing, but it is fine with edit, new and view modes.

Could you help us to find a solution to pass those request headers to Pdf generation please?

We have many forms which are using that kind of variables.

Is possible to do it in properties-local.xml? How to do that there?

Many Thanks,

Chunyu,

We have a related issues:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/issues/1397

In the meanwhile, you should be able to work around this by forwarding
headers:

<property
as="xs:string"
name="oxf.http.forward-headers"
value="...space-separated header names to forward..."/>

Which Orbeon Forms version are you using, by the way?

Hi Eric,

We are using a custom edition on top of 4.10 Orbeon CE edition, the exact number is 4.10.2.marklogic.201602022321-CE.

However, I tried the solution below in the properties-local.xml and it does not work in pdf still. Some sections with those variables are in the 'relevant' of bind are still missing.

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.http.forward-headers" value="isAppraiser isApplicant isAppraisalReviewer isApplicationApprover"/>

Could you please look into this?

We have a lot of forms which have the similar problem and the site is on live now.

Thanks,

Chunyu

Chunyu,

I have reproduced the issue now. It works with the upcoming 4.11, but not
4.10, with this fix we did back last September:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/issues/1078

I have backported the fix to your build and will send it to you via our
support site.
