The OpenLaszlo server will not write data back to the xml file on
disk; that's outside the scope of the problem OL is trying to solve.
OpenLaszlo is primarily a *presentation* layer; you have to go
elsewhere for the middle-and-inner-ware of your application stack:
php, rails, a j2ee servlet, etc.
Check out Laszlo on Rails; rails gives you delicious persistent
server-side databases and operations, and Laszlo gives you the sweet
application UI framework.

Fellow Laszloans,
I'm new to the platform and having difficulty getting updateData()
to update the xml file (dataset) that the datapath references.
Using the debugger, I see that the in-memory datapath is updated,
but not the file itself. Here's the code snippet:
_________________________________________________________________
<view id="v2" layout="x" />
<dataset name="resumedata" src="resumedata.xml"/>
<hbox spacing="20" />
<class name="resume" layout="x" datapath="resumedata:/resume/
employerinfo"
<statictext name="t1" label="Employer Name"/>
<edittext name="it1" width="150" datapath="@name"/>
<!-- several other text controls -->
<button name="b">Update
<handler name="onclick">
updateData();
</handler>
</button>
</class>
<resume name="r" visible="false" />
<!-- r is visible later when another control is selected -->

Thanks in advance.
