Dear all,

I'm trying to post the form data to my designed http service for onward processing. However, the customised process in properties-local.xml as follows while the error shown in the server.log as attached.

Appreciate for any insight for me to resolve this issue. Million Thanks.

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.app1.form1">
save
</property>
<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.process.save.app1.form1">
require-valid
then send("http://localhost:3000")
then save
</property>

Hi,

The relevant error is:

xf:submission: mandatory `resource` or `action` evaluated to an empty sequence for attribute value: `{instance('fr-send-submission-params')/@uri}`

You are calling `send("http://localhost:3000")` (doc), without specifying a parameter name. For some actions, if you only have one parameter, and it happens to be the default parameter, you can skip the parameter name. But for `send()`, the default parameter is `property`, so your call is taken to mean `send(property = "http://localhost:3000")`, which isn't what you meant.

I'd recommend you always provide parameter names, for clarity (and in this case, you can't do without providing one). So your call should be:

send(uri = "http://localhost:3000")

You'll let me know if this solves the problem for you.

Alex,

It does the trick. My http back-end have received the post action but the req.body is found to be empty. The process is now customised as follows:

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.process.save.app1.form1">
require-valid
then send(

uri = "http://localhost:3000",
method = 'POST',
content = 'metadata'
)
then save
</property>

However, the output from my http back-end is POST parameter received are: {}

Comparing to another test curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' http://localhost:3000/, the result POST parameter recieved are: { username: 'xyz', password: 'xyz' } is found more promising. Do you have another insight for me please?

Thank you so so much.

Hi,

Maybe this is because `send()` is posting XML data, while your code expects JSON. Maybe you can test your service by posting XML data with curl, and checking that you get the expected result?

Excellent, I'm glad that `send()` worked, and thanks for the update.
