RE: readonly and setvalue

Yes, sorry.. I was unaware of calcuated nodes being readonly by default.

I'm confused -- do you mean something like this, which I copied from the
X-Smile 0.6 examples?
  <bind nodeset="/purchaseOrder/totals/subtotal"
calculate="sum(../../items/item/total)"/>
If so, I don't believe you also need a
  <bind nodeset="/purchaseOrder/totals/subtotal" readonly="true()"/>

I think we've agreed that calculated nodes are not settable by form controls
or setvalue.

Another example of why you would want readonly only to apply to the UI is
calculating values. For instance, you my want to display a list of product
line items and allow the user to input the quantity and unit price for each.
The line total would be readonly and calculated based on the quantity * unit
price.

Hi,

Here, for XFE, we chose readonly-to-user. That way, one can have a 
select or a range showing data without the possibility for the user to 
change it.
