If the transformation is done in Xalan, I think it should be possible to
set up the translation on the web server. So that user who created XForms
in ODF just upload the ODF file as-is. With the same set of XSLT the web
application should be albe to generate XForms/XHTML. Is this correct,
possible and feasiable?
It's better than if OpenOffice directly produce XForms/XHTML, because this
allow us to progress step-by-step. If we start with a simple modification
to existing XSLT we don't have to re-distribute our modified version of
OOO to every user. We can just update the web application.

Hi Stephen,
IIRC the XSL-T engine used is Xalan. Main problems are not so much to
do with Xalan but with not being able to dynamically pass in
parameters at transformation time from settings on the filter form,
although OOo does pass in some parameters on its own, and difficulties
with the document function, the solution I generally used has been to
always establish an absolute path for my document function calls, and
to set parameters in an external file I can generate via various
methods - one method is generating parameters for a filter to access
from an Xform.
Cheers,

Hi Gildor
I would think the direction from ODF/XForms to XHTML/XForms is quite
doable
because the ODF supports a limited subset of XForms (model, bindings,
lists and
submissions). Not so easy to have XHTML/XForms to ODF/XForms of course.
The challenge might be with the positioning of the form controls in the
XHTML
equivalent of the ODF which after all would be the main asset of using
OOo as
a WYSIWIG XForms editor.
I've been trying to use the XSLT filter facility for OOo recently for
the first time in
earnest and have found some problems which I'm concerned might be due to
XSLT limitations and behaviors in the OOo XSLT engine. Anyone know which
engine is used and know of any such peculiarities, by the way?
I truly hope you get on well in trying such a conversion.
Best regards
