I have a set of XForms already running within eXist-db that are automatically generated by an XQuery. Is there any way form me to call a REST service, supplied by Orbeon, running on a separate tomcat server, that will convert the XForms files into HTML that I can display in a web browser?
In other words I would like to do something like:
xquery version "1.0";
...
let $my-xforms-file := local:my-generate-xforms($spec-file)
let $orbeon-rendered-xforms := httpclient:post('http://localhost/tomcat/orbeon/getpost', $my-xforms-file)
return $html-file
What I want is really just a render conversion service for XForms that gets an HTTP POST with the XForms in the document body and it returns something that I can render with a web browser.
Is there a component to do this already built into Orbeon? I am glad to document this, provide an XQuery module to support it and share with others.
There is a REST service for using the Orbeon forms runner, but it uses HTTP GET, not HTTP POST.
The service is offered as part of the forms runner "Sandbox" Here is a sample:
If you have Tomcat running on port 8081 (not the default) and eXist running on port 8080 then the following will work:
http://localhost:8081/orbeon/xforms-sandbox/run?url=http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/grants/orbeon-tests/01-min.xml
The sandbox also has a way to get the data from a file system
You can't get to form runner standbox from the menus. To get there you have to manually put the following URL into your browser:
http://localhost:8081/orbeon/xforms-sandbox/

In Delphi 11 Alexandria, I created a simple SOAP webservice using File->New->Soap Server. I asked to create the demo interfaces, I have built the project, corrected Apache conf, and I have copied the DLL inside Apache's module directory.
So, if I request:
http://127.0.0.1:81/xyz/mod_webbroker.dll
I get into the page where I see the interfaces, and I can view the WSDL.
Now, I would like to try to call the demo function (echoDouble) from PHP using curl.
How do I know what address I should use?
I tried:
http://127.0.0.1:81/xyz/wsdl/IMyService/echoDouble/
But it's not working.
Any help?
I understand my doubts now. I have always used "Datasnap rest application" but now I am trying "SOAP server application", that is why I cannot find the correct URL, because they work different. When using "Datasnap rest application" you need to go to a specific URL to get the function but SOAP works different, the base URL is always this (in my case):
http://127.0.0.1:81/xyz/wsdl/IMyService/
Sorry for that, I will switch back to "Datasnap rest application"
I have a WCF service running inside an ASP.NET MVC 4 application. The site is running on IIS8 on Server 2012. Until recently, the WSDL pages loaded without any problems. This week, the WSDL no longer loads. The link from the "Welcome" page is correct, but when I click it or attempt to generate a client, the same Welcome page is returned.
I have tried this using a ServiceRoute and also using an .svc file.
The ServiceRoute looks like this:
/DataService
Its WSDL link is:
/DataService?wsdl
The .svc file looks like:
/directory/otherdir/DataService.svc
The WSDL link is
/directory/otherdir/DataService.svc?wsdl
I never needed any configuration in the web.comfic section before, using the SerivceRoute.
How can I get WCF to show the WSDL correctly?
I ran into this before and there can be multiple reasons, the service is not functioning due to errors in the operations or you may be using WebServiceHostFactory instead of ServiceHostFactory
RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("DataService", new ServiceHostFactory(), typeof(MyServiceType)));
We've developed a Grails application that uses redirects.
Beacuse of external reasons, we are just recently using reverse-proxy, to split some traffic to domains:
From:
demo1.company.local (the server itself)
To:
tomcat.company.local (for all java applications, including our grails app)
lotus.company.local (for all Domino applications)
Since tomcat is only configured in the hosts file on the demo1 server, the redirects do not work when I access the application from anywhere else then the demo1 server itself.
I've tried to solve this using "absolute" and/or "base" parameter in Grails' redirect(), but if I understand correctly, this is Grails 2+ only and we're using Grails 1.3.4.
Are there other ways to redirect to a specified host?
Am I misusing things?
Thanks,
Bram
If you define grails.serverURL in Config.groovy, redirects with absolute:true will use that value for the URL.
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.
My problem is closely related to this one: How can I use .NET web services from non-standard ports?. My web service runs behind a port-forwarding firewall, so the port numbers reported in the WSDL document contain the internal high-numbered port. I wrote a SoapExtensionReflector class which is able to rewrite the WSDL document. So a request like example.com/path/loginservice?wsdl is handled correctly.
However, this doesn't handle the "disco" request: example.com/path/loginservice?disco. This returns an XML document like this:
<discovery>
<contractRef ref="http://example.com:10092/loginservice.asmx?wsdl" docRef="http://example.com:10092/loginservice.asmx"/>
<soap address="http://example.com/path/loginservice.asmx" binding="q1:LoginServiceSoap"/>
<soap address="http://example.com/path/loginservice.asmx" binding="q2:LoginServiceSoap12"/>
</discovery>
While the soap bindings have been properly re-written by the SoapExtensionReflector, the contractRef and docRef URLs have the high-numbered port. How can I rewrite them as well?
Finally figured something out. Created proxy classes manually using svcutil after migrating everything to WCF. I figure you could probably do the same thing using the wsdl tool that came with the old asp.net web services, but I haven't tried that.
