Re: [Exist-open] Current Status of XForms?

[Omar S. <Oma...@oe...>]

We try to maintain and extend MerMEId[1], which was developed using 
Orbeon forms some years ago. We created a specialized Docker image[2] 
for MerMEId. As the XForms are quite complex we opted to use Orbeon and 
not port them to some other solution.
You can probably adapt this to your needs.
It has a few pecularities
* We use Orbeon 2018 CE as our XFroms seem to cause problems with more
   recent Versions, but the setup would be the same.
* The MerMEId exist app is hardcoded as the default app, something you
   Probably want to change
* There are some "magic" XFroms paths/collectionms that need to be set
   in configuration files when adding Orbeon to the exist container
* exist does not run in the /exist servlet context but as / context.
   This was once supported but now for example Dashboard has problems
   with login in this configuration.
I am in the process of getting the Orbeon XForms examples to work on 
exist[3].
