This is a longshot asking this list since my XForms questions
before met with
silence, but...
Does anyone know if OO is capable of getting XML forms instance
data from a
remote source? MS InfoPath is capable of loading XML data into a
form and the
forms are filled out with pre-defined values. In OO, I've noticed
there is the
option to add instance data, and the window that pops up asks for a
name and a
URL, which I take to mean remote or local. There's a browse button
for local
data, and it gets added to the data navigator, but I can't seem to
get it to
pre-fill the forms.
Example: In my schema, I have <person> <name/> </person>. I want
to be able to
load up a file containing <person> <name>Matthew Harrison</name></
person> and
have the "Name" field on my form filled out with that value.
Does anyone on this list have any ideas about this? Or, is there a
better list
for this type of question?
The xml.openoffice.org list is probably better suited, but as a quick
guide I would say yes to your answer. The Xforms controls can be
bound to any datasource which means any data that can be accessed via
JDBC, ODBC etc could be a potential source.
