Hello All,

I am a few hours old in the Orbeon world and am working through the tutorial http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/orbeon-forms-xforms-tutorial ...

I have have reached the stage where I add a submit button, go to the user interface at http://localhost:8081/orbeon/xforms-mybookcast/ enter data in the form, click the submit button (no feedback so I dont know what is happening, saving? not saving?). However once I (submit?), I have no clue where to find my submitted data. Going to http://localhost:8081/orbeon/exist/rest/db/orbeon/my-bookcast/books.xml (note that am on port 8081, not 8080) as suggested in the tutorial to view my submitted data, instead gives me the error

HTTP Status 403 -

type Status report

message

description Access to the specified resource () has been forbidden.

my code is as follows:

<head>

Does anyone know what might be happening?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You can get feedback on your submit with a construct like this:

 <xf:submission id="save-data" ref="instance('data')" method="put" replace="none" resource="http://localhost:8081/your-path/yourquery.xquery">
 <xf:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error" level="modal"> A submission error occurred:
 <xf:output value="event('response-body')"/>
 </xf:message>
 <xf:action ev:event="xforms-submit-done">
 <xf:message>Succes</xf:message>
 </xf:action>
 </xf:submission>

Regards,

Marc de Graauw

Thanks Marc,

will try that. Looking at my above code from an experienced point of view, is there any reason why my above code is not working?

Thanks,

I wouldn't be surprised if this was caused by an older or newer version of
HTTPClient that comes with the app server being used instead of the version
that comes with Orbeon Forms. For reference, which version of GlassFish and
which version of Orbeon Forms are you on? Per my other message, I'd
recommend you fix this by increasing the permgen and use Tomcat instead. And
of course, let us know of this isn't a reasonable course of action.

I have stopped all applications on tomcat, re deployed the orbeon war and am now running on tomcat again as opposed to GlassFish. I have scaled down my code to just have 2 input widgets:

<head>

<title>XForms Bookcast</title>

<xforms:model>

<xforms:instance id="books-instance">

<book>

<link/>

</book>

</books>

</xforms:instance>

<xforms:submission id="save-submission"

ref="instance('books-instance')"

resource="/exist/rest/db/orbeon/my-bookcast/books.xml" method="put" replace="none">

<xforms:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error" level="modal"> A submission error occurred:

<xforms:output value="event('response-body')"/>

</xforms:message>

<xforms:action ev:event="xforms-submit-done">

<xforms:message>Successfully saved</xforms:message>

</xforms:action>

</xforms:submission>

</xforms:model>

</head>

<body>

Hello coders!

<xforms:group ref="book">

<xforms:input ref="title">

<xforms:label>Title</xforms:label>

</xforms:input>

<xforms:input ref="author">

<xforms:label>Author</xforms:label>

</xforms:input>

<xforms:submit submission="save-submission">

<xforms:label>Save</xforms:label>

</xforms:submit>

</xforms:group>

</body>

</html>

NOW, for the first time, clicking on the Submit/Save button gives me a SUCCESS message!

However, how do I now view my saved data? According to the tutorial ( http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/orbeon-forms-xforms-tutorial ), I need to browse to the following URL to see my data: http://localhost:8088/orbeon/exist/rest/db/orbeon/my-bookcast/books.xml . However, when I navigate there, I still get the message below:

Could anyone suggest where am going wrong? Am using Tomcat 6 and Orbeon 4.3

Thanks in advance,

Tumaini

Since 4.0, access to eXist is blocked for security reasons. This is done
through a filter, that you can find in WEB-INF/web.xml. If you want to
access eXist directly through your web browser (not recommended for
production, but convenient for testing), comment the following filter
mapping:

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>orbeon-exist-filter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/exist/*</url-pattern>
<xsl:comment>Security filter for eXist</xsl:comment>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

There is a note about this in the 4.0 release notes, but we should update
the tutorial accordingly.

http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/release-notes/40#TOC-Security-of-the-built-in-eXist-database

You'll let us know of this works for you,

Alex

BTW, this is now done, in the "Adding a save button" section.
