Can xforms be used without full WCM?

[davidpisaac]

I would like to use xforms in Alfresco to capture data in XML format, but I do not want to bring the full complexity of WCM into my application.  Is there a way to do this?

I thought I might be able to simply create an XML document in a regular space (not a Web Project space) and add the wca:forminstancedata aspect to it, assuming that Alfresco might then automatically invoke the xform processor.  But, using the Add Aspect sample dialog, I don't even see forminstance data in the aspect list.

I'm sure a lot of people would like xforms without WCM.  Any ideas?

Unfortunately that's not possible in the current version of the product, although we are tracking a (popular!) enhancement request (http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/WCM-303) for precisely this feature.

If you haven't already, I'd suggest voting for this enhancement request and/or adding a comment to it.
