Re: [Xsltforms-support] Multiple external instances in a model

[Philip F. <Phi...@ma...>]

William,

I can't remember whether I've run into this problem or not but you can work around your problem by using the xforms-ready event to trigger the requests for the other instances:

<xf:model>
  <xf:action ev:event="xforms-ready">
    <xf:submit submission="get-tipos_ins"/>
    <xf:submit submission="get-reglas_ins"/>
  <xf:action>

  <xf:submission id="get-tipos_ins" method="get" resource="tipos.xml" instance="tipos_ins" replace="instance" serialization="none" />
  <xf:submission id="get-reglas_ins" method="get" resource="reglas_contacto.xml" instance="tipos_ins" replace="instance" serialization="none" />

...

</xf:model>

Have a look at the exsltforms extensions:

<http://extxsltforms.sourceforge.net/sitKubera/index/index.xml>

they include a debugging tool 'the data instances viewer' that allows you to see the contents of instances. It may show that they have loaded but there's some other issue, like namespaces, that's causing your problems.


> is possible to use xpath expressions between different models?

There is a model attribute that is available on many XForms instructions that allows you to declare the model that will be the context in which an XPath expression is evaluated.

Subject: [Xsltforms-support] Multiple external instances in a model

Hi,

I´m trying to put three instances in the xform model which from external request:

                                   <xforms:instance id="ins" src="/siclho/pdserver.dll/doc/new? template=Actividad"/>
                                   <xforms:instance id="tipos_ins" src="tipos.xml"/>
                                   <xforms:instance id="reglas_ins" src="reglas_contacto.xml"/>

But it looks like only the first instance is loaded. If I put every instance in a different model it works, but I have some validations to do between the instances, but this is only possible if the instances belongs to the same model.

Can XSLTForms load many instances in a model? Or just one?
If the answer is no, is possible to use xpath expressions between different models?

Thank you very much. I really love XSLTForms!
