WebForm Output Path Expressions - behaviour

tommorris — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:04:48 GMT

The ability to use a Freemarker expression in the output-path is very useful, but it's behaviour is interesting.1)For example: ${name} is the entered name of the form, so if you named the form 'mydata' then the following expression:/${webapp}/mysubfolder/${name}.xml…creates the file '/mywebapp/mysub

Output path pattern:
${xml['/*[name()="languageoutput:myform"]/*[name()="languageoutput:language1"]/*[name()="languageoutput:value"]']}/${name}.xml

For this Sample xsd:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"   xmlns:languageoutput="http://www.alfresco.org/alfresco/languageoutput"

           targetNamespace="http://www.alfresco.org/alfresco/languageoutput" elementFormDefault="qualified">

                <xs:complexType name="language">

                                <xs:sequence>

                                                <xs:element name="key" type="xs:normalizedString"/>

                                                <xs:element name="value" type="xs:anyURI"/>

                                                <xs:element name="languageName" type="xs:normalizedString"/>

                                                <xs:element name="publish" type="xs:boolean" minOccurs="0" default="true"/>

                                </xs:sequence>

                </xs:complexType>

                <xs:element name="myform">

                                <xs:complexType>

                                                <xs:sequence>

                                                                <xs:element name="language1" type="languageoutput:language" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

                                                </xs:sequence>

                                </xs:complexType>

                </xs:element>

</xs:schema>

it works fine for me….thanks to the jira for the answer

Hello gopesh,
Does that mean you experience the same behaviour as I do, for point 1) and 2)?

Is there an alfresco engineer with an insight for this area?

Looks like we found the answer to point 3) above.

Although something like the following works for XML creation:
/${xml['press_release/title']}/myfile.xml

It needs the name-space prefix for rendition output paths, like this:
/${xml['prress_release/pr:title']}/myfile.html

I think this is what Gopesh was trying to tell me earlier in this thread…

The general behaviour described in my other points are still interestingly subtle.
