Contributed patch for XForms filter and URL rewriting
|
|
All,
We still haven't managed to get to this annoying rewriting bug in separate deployment: http://forge.ow2.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=310890&group_id=168&atid=350207 However Marwoto has contributed a patch which works around this by performing some custom URL rewriting in the filter. If this is of interest to anyone, this patched version of the filter is attached to this message. -Erik -- Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/ -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] mailing list.

Anyway, got the following error message on the first time trying to access my web page: "Fatal error: The prefix "f" for attribute "f:url-norewrite" associated with an element type "link" is not bound." After adding the needed XML Namespace declaration (xmlns:f="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/formatting ") to my web page I run into the same old error message as before: "Got invalid return code while loading URI: http://localhost:8080/ <mycontext>/orbeon/xml/my-external-instance.xml, 404" This occurs when I am trying to use an external XML instance on my web page: <xforms:instance id="my-external-instance" src="xml/my-external- instance.xml" /> While trying out to fix/test the rewriting bug I ALMOST found a working solution. The only thing that doesn't work with my work around is session handling with cookies (works with URL rewriting). The session is lost/wrong after invalidating the session in my own Web application code. If I remember correctly, this was the issue back in the days before getting it fixed on Dec 18, 2007 or so (the version, 3.6.0.200712181809, of Orbeon Forms I am using at the moment works). Anyway, here is what I did (basically followed the XForms for Java Apps instructions): 1) Put the latest nightly build version of Orbeon Forms (orbeon.war) to Tomcat. 2) Used the OLD (instead of the current one) XForms Filter configurations in my Web applications' web.xml: -------- 8< --------- <filter> <filter-name>ops-xforms-filter</filter-name> <filter-class>org.orbeon.oxf.servlet.OPSXFormsFilter</filter-class> <init-param> <param-name>oxf.xforms.renderer.context</param-name> <param-value>/orbeon</param-value> </init-param> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>ops-xforms-filter</filter-name> <url-pattern>*.xforms</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>ops-xforms-filter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/orbeon/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> -------- 8< --------- 3) Added the context.xml file under the META-INF folder 4) Put the OLD (instead of the current one) orbeon-xforms-filter.jar file under the WEB-INF/lib folder of my web application. The fix was to use the OLD web.xml configurations and orbeon-xforms- filter.jar file. I know this ain't a bullet proof solution but nevertheless I was now able to use all the latest features Orbeon Forms has to offer in separate deployment!!! I tested my Web applications a bit with this newer Orbeon Forms and found a couple of problems: 1) Session lost/wrong (related to cookies) after invalidating session in my Web application's code. Works in the older version of OF I am using. 2) The digest function used to return alphabets in upper case, now it returns them in lower case. I guess this work around works 100% if the session handling with cookies bug will get fixed. I attached the orbeon-xforms-filter.jar file to this email if somebody wants to use it as well. Or, preferably, take a closer look at the source code and try to see what is the difference between the code in this JAR (needs to be decompiled) and the current code in CVS, which does not work properly. Hope this helps somebody and hoping to see a fix to the rewriting bug soon. Kind regards -Markku -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] mailing list.
