I've created these two simple files , view.xhtml :
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xh="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:fr="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/form-runner"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
xmlns:xxf="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xforms">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<xf:model>
<!-- Instance that contains all the books -->
<xf:instance id="people-instance">
<people xmlns="">
<person>
<test/>
</person>
</people>
</xf:instance>
<xf:bind id="test-bind" name="test" ref="person/test"/>
</xf:model>
</head>
<body>
<xf:input id="test-control" bind="test-bind">
<xf:label>THIS</xf:label>
</xf:input>
<fr:my-name test="'test'">
</fr:my-name>
</body>
And my-name.xbl :
<xbl:xbl xmlns:xh="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
xmlns:xxf="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xforms"
xmlns:fr="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/form-runner"
xmlns:xbl="http://www.w3.org/ns/xbl"
xmlns:xxbl="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/xbl"
xmlns:fb="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/form-builder">
<xbl:binding element="fr|my-name" id="fr-my-name" xxbl:mode="lhha binding value">
<metadata xmlns="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/form-builder" xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms">
<templates>
<view>
<fr:my-name id="" appearance="minimal" xmlns="" test="" >
</fr:my-name>
</view>
</templates>
<xf:input ref="@test">
<xf:label lang="en">Resource URI</xf:label>
</xf:input>
</metadata>
<xbl:template>
<!-- Local model and instance -->
<xf:var name="test-avt" xbl:attr="xbl:text=test" xxbl:scope="outer"/>
<xf:var name="test" xbl:attr="xbl:text=test" >
<xf:action ev:event="xforms-enabled xforms-value-changed">
<xf:setvalue ref="instance('test')" value="$test"/>
</xf:action>
<xxf:sequence value="xxf:evaluate-avt($test-avt)" xxbl:scope="outer"/>
</xf:var>
<xf:model>
<xf:instance id="test"><value/></xf:instance>
<xf:instance><value/></xf:instance>
<xf:submission id="save-submission" ref="instance('test')"
action="/exist/rest/db/orbeon/my-name/person.xml"
method="put" replace="none">
<xf:message ev:event="xforms-submit-error" level="modal">An error occurred while saving!</xf:message>
</xf:submission>
</xf:model>
<xf:input class="xforms-disabled" ref="xxf:instance('people-instance')//*[name() = saxon:evaluate($test)]" >
<xf:label>Your name</xf:label>
<xf:send ev:event="xforms-value-changed" submission="save-submission"/>
</xf:input>
</xbl:template>
</xbl:binding>
Now I would like pass parameters from my view.xhtml to XBL so when user inserts something in xf:input id='test-control' it would cause that the text will be saved in database. The problem is, instead of what user actually inserted in my database I have :
<value>'test'</value>
instead of expected, f.e. if I insert 123
<value>123</value>
Anyone has any idea why my code doesn't work and how to fix this ?
Here is an example which works. I put both files together to make it easier to try.
A few things I changed:
testattribute is in fact an AVT, it shouldn't have quotes around it. So you have for exampletest="foo{42}"which evaluates tofoo42, which, if I understand well, is the name of the XML element you want to observe.saxon:evaluate($test): the AVT is already evaluated and the result available in the variable$test. There is no point evaluating the result as an XPath expression again.varmust not havexbl:attr="xbl:text=test"xxf:binding-context('fr-my-name')/root()instead ofxxf:instance(), butxxf:instance()will work too (although its usage is not recommended).xbl:implementation. It makes it clearer that this is not dependent on the template.
