Is it possible to do a re-publish of orbeon forms automatically? (ie Forms that have been created with Form Builder and which have been saved and deployed/published before).
Actually we are upgrading from Orbeon 3.9 to Orbeon 4.6, and currently we have lots of orbeon forms in our 3.9 environment. since its very difficult to publish the forms one by one after upgrade to 4.6, it will be good if i can find an easy way to republish all the existing forms.
I found something here at https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/wiki/Form-Runner-~-Home-Page
When I tried this, I didn't get any error but the forms were not actually published. and I got error when I opened a new instance of any existing forms.
Appreciate if any one can help me on this.
Thanks
Did you check the orbeon log for errors? If orbeon is running in production mode there may be an error that is not displayed to the user.
I haven't gone through an upgrade myself, but it's possible that you need to upgrade your form definitions. Orbeon 4.6 includes a feature to do this in bulk on the Form Runner Home Page. See the 4.6 blog post.

Orbeon 4.1CE
After using 4.1CE, it cannot read the handwritten form in "orbeon/conf/resources/forms/"
Is there any new file need to define in 4.1 version?
Now, I know that the properties-local.xml affects this problem.
Is there any sample of properties-local.xml for 4.1CE?
First, if you're upgrading, I'd recommend you upgrade to the latest version (4.9 at the time of this writing), since 4.1 is already quite old.
Now, regarding your specific question, I can't remember Orbeon Forms ever using a orbeon/conf/resources/forms folder. Maybe orbeon/conf/resources was setup as a resource folder in your web.xml? If not, this must have been a directory your app was explicitly reading from.
About the properties-local.xml, you can define your own values for properties to configure the way Orbeon Forms works, and for more on this I'd recommend you go through the documentation about properties.
I have upgraded my application from orbeon 4.4 to orbeon 4.7. On loading forms, in the browser console I'm getting $.browser is undefined.
On debugging I found that orbeon 4.7 is using jQuery v1.11.0 and $.browser is removed from jQuery v1.9.
Any idea why it is still using removed/deprecated $.browser??
How to solve this??
Per the jQuery documentation, "This property was removed in jQuery 1.9 and is available only through the jQuery.migrate plugin. Please try to use feature detection instead.". So you could:
Add the JavaScript for jquery-migrate to your project.
Change your code to check whether the feature you want to use is available, rather than rely on knowing in which browser it is available. (Most front-end developers would recommend you try to use this first.)
Can anybody share some detailed steps on how to configure the profiler, and how to see the results. It seems that using /profiler/xpl/ or /tools-profiler/xpl/ gives the same error:
Cannot load "/apps/profiler/page-flow.xml" with webapp loader
The XPL profiler has been removed since Orbeon Forms 3.9. You can still find its source code in the "attic", in case you're interested in reviving it, but it isn't currently part of Orbeon Forms and there are no plans to take it out of the attic.
I have created the route as described in http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/older-versions/deployment/using-asp-net-mvc-with-different-versions-of-iis-vb; however, my site still doesn't show up. Instead, it displays, "Under construction The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured. Please try this site again later. If you still experience the problem, try contacting the Web site administrator."
How can I fix this so that my MVC site shows up?
There's alot of things that could be wrong when trying to run MVC on IIS 6, but Phil Haack has 2 great blog posts about this, a general version and one if you're running .NET 4.0
There are a couple thing I'd start with though, did you uncheck the box like the image below? Like he mentions in his blog, it's easy to miss and will prevent the system from working.
I tried the approach of using Form-Builder-Generated-Form within Java application suggested here < Running Orbeon-Form-Builder-Generated-Form with Java Application > : downloaded Orbeon nightly build, created a sample form using Form Builder and copy & pasted it into JSP page in my app. However, when I try to access this JSP, it redirects me to: /myapp/fr/unauthorized . Can you please tell me what I maybe doing wrong? Or what is the right way of making Orbeon process Form Builder generated content in Java app?
For my deployment I followed separate deployment and configuration specified in Orbeon documentation. Thanks in advance.
You are not doing anything wrong, but Orbeon Forms doesn't support this type of form deployment.
The separate deployment mode runs the output of your JSP directly through the XForms engine.
Form Builder-generated forms OTOH expect pre-processing via the Form Runner runtime, in particular through the components.xsl XSLT transform. This is needed to support all the Form Runner features, including built-in persistence, error summary, internationalization, etc.
Currently the cleanest way to integrate such forms with your own app is to just run them side by side (Orbeon WAR + your own WAR) and navigate between each other via links and POSTs.
You could also use an iframe, although that is often a disliked solution.
You could also transform the form produced by Form Builder into plain XForms that doesn't assume Form Runner. It wouldn't be too hard to do but would be outside the scope of this StackOverflow question.
