Re: [Xsltforms-support] Problem with form refresh

[Tim T. <tim...@gm...>]

Hi, Alex,

I've tested your form in BaseX using RESTXQ and, after some modifications,
it seems to be working. I haven't used eXist for a while, but the approach
should be similar there. Here's what I changed:

(1) Populate the XForms instance from the database directly. Instead
of <xf:instance
id="my-category-list" src="{$file}" xmlns="" />, do <xf:instance
id="my-category-list" xmlns="" ><data>{$file}</data></xf:instance>.

(2) Define the submission to have @replace="instance" instead of
@replace="all":
<xf:submission id="save-to-local-file" method="post" resource="..."
replace="instance" instance="my-category-list">...</xf:submission>

(3) Remove <xf:reset/> from your xforms-submit-done action. This seems to
reset the instance data to its initial state after each submission.
Therefore, you won't see your updates, even though they are being saved to
the database.

My updated version of your XQuery is attached. (Note that the database
functions are specific to BaseX--for example, update:output is a shortcut
to return the modified data after saving it to the database.) Just let me
know if you have any questions.

Tim
