Form Builder Internals

Status

This is as of 2011-06-21.

Grid editor v. 2

The Form Builder grid editor post Orbeon Forms 3.9 is rewritten.

Previously:

the editor was interpreting XForms and using repeats
all the logic was written natively with XForms actions

Currently:

the editor uses the <xxforms:dynamic> control to run the new form at design time
a lot of the logic of the editor is written in Scala, called from XForms via XPath.

For example:

<xf:action type="xpath">
controlOps:renameControl($form, $old-name, $new-name)
</xf:action>
