Standard support
Orbeon Forms supports most standard XForms features, including:
- the specified processing processing model
- events:
xforms-submit,xforms-submit-serialize,xforms-submit-done, andxforms-submit-error - all HTTP and HTTPS methods
- serializations:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded,application/xml,application/json(SINCE Orbeon Forms 2016.1),multipart/form-data, as well as extensions. - replacements:
all,instance, andtext - SOAP support
One exception is the lack of support for
multipart/related.[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2017.1]
The XForms 2.0
nonrelevant attribute takes valueskeep: all values are serialized,remove: non-relevant values are not serialisedempty: non-relevant nodes are serialized as empty values
The default is
remove.<xf:submission id="my-submission"
method="post"
nonrelevant="empty"
resource="http://example.org/rest/draft/"
replace="none"/>
Orbeon Forms supports the XForms 1.1
validate and relevant attributes on <xf:submission>.NOTE: The
relevant attribute is deprecated in favor of the XForms 2.0 nonrelevant attribute.These boolean attributes disable processing of validation and relevance pruning respectively for a given submission:
<xf:submission id="my-submission"
method="post"
validate="false"
relevant="false"
resource="http://example.org/rest/draft/"
replace="none"/>
XForms 2.0 introduces
nonrelevant (while keeping relevant for backward compatibility) for clarity:<xf:submission id="my-submission"
method="post"
validate="false"
nonrelevant="keep"
resource="http://example.org/rest/draft/"
replace="none"/>
Orbeon Forms supports the XForms 1.1
serialization on <xf:submission>. This is particularly useful to specify the value none with a get method:<xf:submission id="my-submission"
method="get"
serialization="none"
resource="http://example.org/document.xml"
replace="instance"
instance="my-instance"/>
