Hi Geert, Thanks for this reply. It is exactly what I needed. I now have it working.
Much appreciation.

It means that /test/data.xml will resolve to a file among the modules, and the PUT action won’t update it. You need to put a small xquery in between to make it work. Something like: xquery version "1.0-ml"; declare variable $uri := xdmp:get-request-field("uri"); declare variable $body := xdmp:get-request-body('xml'); xdmp:set-response-encoding("utf-8"), xdmp:set-response-content-type("application/xml"), xdmp:log(("data.xqy", xdmp:get-request-method(), $uri, $body)), if (xdmp:get-request-method() = "GET") then doc($uri) else xdmp:document-insert($uri, $body) You would also have to change your model to: <xf:model> <xf:instance id="data-instance" src=" data.xqy?uri= /test/data.xml" xmlns="" /> <xf:submission id="read-from-file" method="get" action=" data.xqy?uri= /test/data.xml" replace="instance" instance="data-instance" /> <xf:submission id="save-to-file" method="put" action=" data.xqy?uri= /test/data.xml" replace="instance" instance="data-instance" /> </xf:model> You can also look into url rewriting, which will allow you to alter the behavior of your HTTP app server to handle uri ending on .xml as REST calls, e.g. have the url rewrite script add ‘data.xqy?uri=’ in front of such urls.. Kind regards, Geert Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens [email protected] Verzonden: woensdag 31 augustus 2011 18:13 Aan: General MarkLogic Developer Discussion Onderwerp: [MarkLogic Dev General] MarkLogic and xsltforms (xf:submission) I am attempting to use MarkLogic and xsltforms to load data from an xml file (stored in a MarkLogic database) into the form, edit the data in the form, and then save the edited xml file back to the MarkLogic database. I have created the database and the HTTP server. The form correctly reads the data from the database file ('/test/data.xml') and loads it into the form in the browser. The part that does not work is saving the edited file back to the MarkLogic database (<xf:submission method="put"/>). Can someone explain to me how to enable the submission? Does it depend on webdav? What are the setup steps? The xquery is below.
