All, With XForms 1.0 and 1.1 draft, it is not possible to dynamically specify the @action attribute on xforms:submission. However, in these days of REST, it is obviously necessary to be able to do that. How have implementors addressed this? The following solutions come to mind: o Handle @action as an attribute value template, for example: action="http://example.org/app/{instance('my-instance')/image-name}/etc" Benefits: very flexible; XSLT does it so we are not reinventing the wheel. Drawbacks: XForms doesn't use attribute value templates anywhere at the moment. Users will expect that avt will work in other places as well! o Extra attribute on xforms:submission, such as @action-ref. Benefits: does not introduce avt. Drawbacks: another attribute to remember; requires @action to be no longer required; doesn't scale to other attributes; *-ref attribute names are not nice-looking ;-) Any other ideas or suggestions? -ErikReceived on Wednesday, 19 April 2006 17:24:33 GMT
