Form Runner email failure - date

Reply Threaded

I am working with orbeon-dev-3.7.1.200905272119 under Vista (also
running apps under XP) using glassfish.

I am trying to get the "workflow-send" feature working from Form Runner.
It fails complaining that the date line in the email is not acceptable.
It seems to be absent. I have solved this by patching
apps/fr/email/email-form.xpl in obeon-form-runner.jar, adding code to
create a Date: header line. (I remember doing this some time ago in an
older version when I was _very_ green with Orbeon). Am I missing
something? Should I be invoking something to get a date generated rather
than hacking?

As a second request - is there any explanation of the semantics of the
value of oxf.fr.detail.send.uri.*.* ? I can get this to work if I give a
URL which is a "directory" (i.e. ends in /) but just pointing at a plain
html file fails. Coupled with the explanation I have of
oxf.fr.detail.send.pdf.*.* I am guessing that this feature is cleverer
that is first apparent.

I will let Erik respond to that part of you question.

See this paragraph about wildcards on the wiki:

Is this what you were looking for?

Alex,

thanks, but no. I was using the wildcards to generalise my question. It
is the value of these properties (however obtained - wildcarded or
specific) which I do not understand. Must the value of
oxf.fr.detail.send.uri. be a special resource? Empirically, a static web
page is not acceptable.

I see. The value of this property is used as the value of the "resource" attribute in an <xforms:submission>. So it has to be a path that your browser can reach, such as /my/path or http://www.google.com/.

Nigel,

So do you still have the issue with the date format?
