I am using the server side oracle xforms processor,beta version.I am not
sure it
it is available right now outside Oracle.
Yes when you submit the form,it gets submitted as an xml string,and it can
be
retrieved using request.getParameter("instanceData");

But there should always be a client-side part to it as well,which will
handle
the client side validations etc,which we were till now doing thru
javascript.
