[Xsltforms-support] xsltforms and MarkLogic submission

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I am attempting to use MarkLogic and xsltforms to load data from an xml file (stored in a MarkLogic database) into the form, edit the data in the form, and then save the edited xml file back to the MarkLogic database. 

I have created the database and the HTTP server. The form correctly reads the data from the database file ('/test/data.xml') and loads it into the form in the browser. 

The part that does not work is saving the edited file back to the MarkLogic database (<xf:submission method="put"/>). Can someone explain to me how to enable the submission? Does it depend on webdav? What are the setup steps? 

The xquery is below. 

Thanks,
