Why is this form asking me to fill out the required fields?

kooktroop — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 01:54:08 GMT

I'm using the following XSD for a web form. All I fillout is the 'name' and I get an error saying 'Please provide values for all required fields'. None of the fields are highlighted in red, I can't workout why this is being asked. I also filled out each of the fields… and it still gives me the same

nothing here seems out of the ordinary. i'll try out it and get back to you but i'm guessing you've found a bug.

"Alfresco 2.0 Preview (WCM BETA)", I think it is the most recently released (unless you've released the end of march release).

I've tried creating an entirely new Web Project and this form still doesn't want to work.

I've now discovered that this occurs across all of my Web Forms.

I'm not sure exactly what has triggered this. I will do some investigation.

It looks like there is a bug when using the Web Forms with Firefox. I've submitted a JIRA issue http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/WCM-409

i haven't yet done any testing with firefox 2.0. i'll take a look at it soon. in the meantime, try 1.5 or IE.

thanks for putting the useragent string in the bug description - extremely helpful.

FYI: Clearing all alfresco related cookies in your browser will usually fix this problem.

This may be related to the following bug, which was fixed in July 18th and is currently available in 2.1.0 Community Final (available on SourceForge) and our 2.1.0 Enterprise release:

http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/WCM-563

Can you update to 2.1.0 Community Final or our 2.1.0 Enterprise (available for download; announcement forthcoming) to see if this fixes your issues?

Otherwise, recommend opening a support case if you are a customer.

No, i have udate alfresco to 2.1.0 version (alfresco-community-tomcat-2.1.0.tar.gz) but I have always the same message "Please provide values for all required fields" .
Could it depends on O.S. ? I use Linux CentOs 4.4 in a virtual machine and it's doesn't work, but if I use Windows XP in my local machine all that's ok…

thanks

I also use alfresco 2.1 community within liferay 4.3.1 with tomcat 6 under linux and call it as webapp from the path /alfresco. Calling it from within liferay with the alfresco client portlet gets me an exception when trying to submit webforms.

When trying to submit the webform within firefox 2.0.6 outside of the portlet I get exactly the same error as described and thus I cannot complete the webform wizard.

Unfortunately that is why I must pause the development of my opensource alfresco news portlet.

The problem occurs when one gets two JSESSIONID cookies for the same host (localhost?)!!!

So if you look at the cookies, one is JSESSIONID with path / (or something) and the other is JSESSIONID with path /alfresco.

When submitting, chiba's xforms pass both cookies forward and some mechanism later on does not evaluate the path (and uses the other JSESSIONID) and you get the following error:

org.chiba.xml.xforms.exception.XFormsException: org.chiba.xml.xforms.exception.XFormsException: org.chiba.xml.xforms.exception.XFormsException: HTTP status 401: Access Denied: User not authenticated‍

(you get this error only if you uncomment the og4j.logger.org.chiba=debug property in the Alfresco's log4j.properties file !)

In my case the problem was a dashlet containing an IFRAME, where another server was running with the same hostname (localhost) and it has set another JSESSIONID cookie on the browser (but different path). So clearing all cookies didn't help in that case, because the other server (liferay) has always pushed it's own JSESSIONID cookie back…

But I guess this can happen with other scenarios, too (same browser, two different servers on the same hostname)…

So the solution, I guess, to these problems could be that alfresco's authentication mechanism (or whatever) checks if the JSESSIONID cookie's path is /alfresco…

Hope this will help somebody, since I have lost about 1 day to solve this %*#'(!! issue…
