Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] A few perhaps actually usable XForms for UBL
Maybe soon I'll try the cross-industry CEFACT e-Invoice (not quite standardised yet) too - looks very similar to UBL but more industry and tax detail in it perhaps. Not sure what a subset of it suitable for XForms might look like. I helped it's alignment with UBL in early days and it's nice to see it getting to this stage. http://www.unece.org/cefact/documents/xml-schema.zip http://www.unece.org//cefact/prs/pr07_trd02e.pdf Now it seems an easier than ever step to go from EDI to XML. Perhaps trying to create some XForms for it will produce good feedback to pass to CEFACT. Not sure how to do that though. All the best Steve >>> "Stephen Green" <stephen.green@bristol.gov.uk> 05/04/07 16:45:56 >>> Excellent feedback, many thanks indeed Sacha. I'll make that change to /tmp. Hopefully folk will notice where the file is being saved (clearly noted) and go get it if necessary. Eventually I hope to have dynamics built in to allow the destination target url to be under end-user control, if that seems advisable. IBM have published some notes on how to do this. Otherwise there is hopefully not too much know-how required in folk saving and editing the form to change the action, etc. Regarding empty fields, I'd be so happy if UBL would relax that rule. I'm not convinced it's an actual business requirement, even if in certain situations it is considered best practise. Where there is processing after creating the XML maybe the empty elements can be pruned at that point but that puts a special requirement on the server which seems to go against SOA best practise. Relaxing the rule seems like a good compromise to me. All the best Steve >>> Sacha Schlegel <sacha@schlegel.li> 05/04/07 16:29:37 >>> Steve, Same problem on another Debian machine ... but it is working on a spare OpenSuse 10.2. The 'save' is not working as you try to save to /home directory ... normally a regular user does not have the right to write to that directory. I suggest you change it to /tmp where normally everyone has the right to write. Unfortunately the ~ (bash completion to home directory) does not work so I guess /tmp is a good choice for now (beware the directory gets normally wiped when the system restarts) Regards Sacha PS: Now I also understand why you want to prune out the empty fields, because if the user does not fill out the non required fields they will be empty elements in the output XML.
