I created a simple test form with just a single text field, added it to Form Manager and created a simple workflow with a process form variable using that form as it's template. The workflow has jst a single action - the Avoke VariableLogger which just dumps all varibales to the jboss console. I enabled ws access to the workflow and turned on the 'in' attribute of the form variable.<br /><br />I've tried to test this in two ways....<br /><br />1. Fired up Designer (aka Form Designer) and created a new Data Connection using the WSDL of my test workflow. Dragged the Data Connection to the form which gives me a text field for the form variable in the request and a text field for the process id returned in the response. I took an XDP created by my original test form and pasted it into the form variable text field and executed the call. I get no response at this point. I've successfully used this method to test invoking other workflows which take in string varibales as input.<br /><br />I tried using the SoapMonitor to debug what's going on but it doesn't seem to work at all... even for successful calls I make to other workflows.<br /><br />2. Gone to the /services URL for my service and tried pasting the XDP content into the invoke text field produced by that interface. When doing that, I get the following error....<br /><br />org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.<br /><br />Here's my XDP....<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br /><?xfa generator="XFA2_4" APIVersion="2.4.5234.0"?><br /><xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/"><br /><xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><br /><xfa:data><br /><exercise1><sillystring>foo</sillystring><br /><AWS_ACTION/><br /><AWS_PROCESSTYPE></AWS_PROCESSTYPE><br /><AWS_ASSIGNED_ID/><AWS_TASKID/><AWS_CHOICE/><br /><AWS_MAILTO></AWS_MAILTO><br /></exercise1><br /></xfa:data><br /><dd:dataDescription xmlns:dd="http://ns.adobe.com/data-description/" dd:name="exercise1"><br /><exercise1><br /><sillystring/><br /></exercise1><br /></dd:dataDescription><br /></xfa:datasets><br /><pdf href="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/RGABBARD/Local Settings/Temp/_ao109fh2ff51etj.pdf" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/pdf/"/><br /><xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"><annots/><br /></xfdf><br /></xdp:xdp>
