Subject: RE: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice
Stephen, You can also look at adding CAM into the mix. The new version we're working on that supports DROOLS includes the ability to take an XML instance - filter it - then call an XSLT step to produce final display. This would allow you to develop a context driven system that merged data and form layout - with the appropriate text overlays - and then feed that into the xslt to render to XForm. You could also use the CAM on the backend to display errors to the user - thereby reducing the complexity in coding to the XForm itself. We can perhaps prototype something small to demo the concepts...

This could, I think, be used in other XForms and with other codelists.

I suppose the two points you mention below: the need to have more than 10 lines, and to strip out empty content are the most obviously important. Any other things you see as being important to add to the solution. Cheers, Bryan Rasmussen -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Stephen Green [mailto:stephen_green@seventhproject.co.uk] Sendt: 22. december 2005 14:13 Til: ubl-dev@lists.oasis-open.org Emne: Re: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice Please note that if you open these forms from the web archive they will need the filename extensions changing to .odt Also, if you have unix/linux you'll need to change the target filepath/url for the submission and the same change for the linked file of the readonly form. At present both point to file:///c:/invoice.xml so they could be changed to something like file:///home/invoice.xml (not quite sure if this is correct). It should be possible to create a simple UBL 1.0 Invoice with one form (saved locally) then use the other form to read it (from where it is saved) and convert it to pdf (OpenOffice 2 and Star Office 8 have this facility). Then either or both as appropriate could be sent say by email (for micro/small businesses this might be OK - please don't blame me if it isn't) as attachments and/or imported somehow into a finance system or spreadsheet (perhaps with an office product macro, say). Note that the first form, if used to directly create a pdf, will in OOo2/SO8, produce a form that can be edited before printing and this would be unacceptably risky for sending as an Invoice. Again, please accept that the use of the forms is at users own risk. All the best Stephen Green PS Really loved Juha's UBL greeting customisation! Peace and Goodwill to all - And y'all Love the Almighty back with all you've got! ----- Original Message ----- From: Stephen Green To: ubl-dev@lists.oasis-open.org Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 7:07 PM Subject: [ubl-dev] Simple ODF/XForms (OOo2/SO8) for UBL 1.0 Invoice Folks, Just in time for the holidays I've produced (for 'Open Source Academy' but anyone can use them if you do so at your own risk) a couple of forms, one for input, the other for reading and exporting to PDF, to produce crude but possible useful UBL 1.0 invoices. They would probably suit a micro business and illustrate the ODF/XForms combination used in OpenOffice 2 and StarOffice 8. Please forgive the ultra-simplicity (there are just 10 lines and I couldn't yet find a way to not output lines when they are void of data). I'd welcome feedback so I can improve these (again as part of some open source work). I hope the archive can accept the attachments, sorry if this doesn't work - please ignore this email then and I'll try another way later. All the best and happy holidays.
