I'm trying to reuse a subform by calling it with different datanodes, e.g. by clicking a trigger that changes the xpath expression and then loads the subform.
To do that, I created a binding element but I can't make it change dynamically. I know how to change the instance nodes values, so I make my bind element to point to a node, but it doesn't work. Something like this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events">
<head>
<xf:model xmlns="">
<xf:instance>
<tmp>
<configuration uri="/tmp/props"/>
<props>
<prop id="demo id 1" value="demo value1"/>
<prop id="demo id 2" value="demo value2"/>
</props>
</tmp>
</xf:instance>
<xf:bind id="dynamicNodeset" nodeset="string(/tmp/configuration/@uri)"/>
</xf:model>
</head>
<body>
<xf:repeat bind="dynamicNodeset">
<xf:output ref="prop/@id"/>
<xf:input ref="prop/@value" class="xforms-value"/>
</xf:repeat>
</body>
</html>
I also tryed this with no success:
<xf:bind id="dynamicNodeset" nodeset="/tmp/configuration/@uri[string()]"/>
Any idea how can I achieve this?
And also via Js:
function changeBinding(modelId, bindId, newNodeset){
var model = document.getElementById(modelId).xfElement;
window.XsltForms_globals.openAction("XsltForms_change");
model.binds[0].nodeset = newNodeset;
model.setRebuilded(true);
model.addChange(bind);
window.XsltForms_globals.addChange(model);
window.XsltForms_globals.closeAction("XsltForms_change");
window.XsltForms_globals.refresh();
}
Thanks in advance.
There is no evaluate function in XPath 1.0 but, as a workaround, if the variable part of the expression is limited, you can always use just a predicate to select the corresponding element such as in /tmp/*[name() = substring-after(/tmp/configuration/@uri, '/tmp/)]
.
