[Xsltforms-support] saving to dynamic file name

[Sandra B. <sb...@lo...>]

I'm trying to save my instance data into an XML file in Exist using the identifier field as filled out in the form. It works if I hard code the file name but if I try to use xf:resource to generate the file name, the form just gets stuck after I submit. I'd appreciate any suggestions. I'm new to this and not really a programmer so apologies if this is obvious.

Thanks,
Sandy

hard coded:
            <!--            Saves the data to a file-->
            <xf:submission id="save-to-file" method="put" action="../webdav/db/nlu_test/test2.xml" replace="instance">
                <xf:toggle case="case-busy" ev:event="xforms-submit"/>
                <xf:toggle case="case-submit-done" ev:event="xforms-submit-done"/>
                <xf:toggle case="case-submit-error" ev:event="xforms-submit-error"/>
            </xf:submission>

not hard coded:
            <!--            Saves the data to a file-->
            <xf:submission id="save-to-file" method="put" replace="instance">
             <xf:resource value="concat('http://localhost:8080/exist/webdav/db/nlu_test/', instance('mods-data')/identifier,'.xml')"/>
                <xf:toggle case="case-busy" ev:event="xforms-submit"/>
                <xf:toggle case="case-submit-done" ev:event="xforms-submit-done"/>
                <xf:toggle case="case-submit-error" ev:event="xforms-submit-error"/>
            </xf:submission>

control in body:
        <!--Save to a File-->
        <xf:submit class="store" submission="save-to-file">
            <xf:label>Save</xf:label>
            <xf:action ev:event="DOMActivate">
                <xf:setvalue ref="instance('mods-data')/recordInfo/recordChangeDate" value="now()"/>
            </xf:action>
        </xf:submit>
