Conditional branching questions

I am so new to this! Downloaded trial version Cp4 to decide if it will work for me before I buy it?
I would like to design an online questionnaire (more of a survey than a quiz) to acquire demographic data and more.
How do I design conditional branching?
(Also, is there a way that the responses can automatically be exported into a predesigned form or report (the various fields in this form populated by the questionnaire responses)??
Any suggestions will be of help!
Jan

Hi there
And if it helps any, Adobe themselves use Survey Monkey for lots of things!

Count of assignments, conditions,branches...

Hi there,
i've got following sourcecode :
String s;
int tmp;
tmp=(int) data & 0xff;
s = Integer.toHexString(tmp).toUpperCase();
if ( data > 31 && data < 128 )
ascii += (char)data;
else
ascii += ".";
if ( tmp < HEXADEZIMAL )
System.out.print("0");
My Task is finding out how much conditions, branches and assignments
there are in this code.
1. st I tokenized this source code by condition "=", then i got a lot of tokens to compare with possible conditions.
2. now I try to find out how to identify conditions or assignments in tokens like this : "ascii +=".
Any idea ?
greetings
Bastian

Bastian:
I assume that your task is writing a program to answer the question, so just counting is out.
Start by creating a FileReader to open your file. Then feed this to a StreamTokenizer. Create a loop that displays one token at a time and prints its ttype, nval and sval. Get comfortable with this one by fiddling with the various StreamTokenizer settings and watching what you get. That's about 80% of the work.
Now its time for your own nextToken() method. It should first ask the StreamTokenizer for its nextToken(), but it then has to look ahead at the next token to see if "+" is followed by "=", for example. If it gets a compound token (check the Java Language Specification's operator table - there aren't many) it should combine the characters into a single token.
Finally, your ttype should have a few more types: TT_ASSIGN for an assignment operator is one example. Would this be from a compiler course?

Conditional branching needed

I think it is difficult not to have the conditional branching in the tool box.
It's such a common situation for a questionaire.
On my question on this issue in february I was told this tool was top on the list for next release.
When is next release ?
Probably to far away for me so an extra fix would be great.
regards

I think if conditional branching in forms was available within the next two months, I would pick up the annual package in a heartbeat. But I won't be able to wait longer than that for a solution, I have an event coming up in Oct that I need to setup up a registration form for sooner than later. If I could afford $4000 (self-hosted) for a license, I would have set up with http://www.formassembly.com/ last year. However, my non-profit cannot afford that out of pocket cost right now. From my research (and I spent a good month playing with their full feature trial on my own server), FormAssembly's form customization and capabilities are second to none right now (for products & services available to general public/small businesses). I think you all should look at them and take some good notes, and then of course improve on it.
I am excited about Adobe's solution that is FormsCentral though. Good work so far folks, just need a few more *important* features available.

Follow-up on Conditional Branching

Good day!
I was able to add conditional branching as per Lily's(biri) instructions (please refer to this thread) but I noticed that it no longer works for one of the buttons AFTER I added a rollover caption, even after I removed the captions. Any thoughts on this please?
Please advise. Thanks!

Thank you for replying Lily.
Here's what I have - the menu slide where I applied the conditional branching:
And this is how the other slides look like:
Before I applied the rollover captions, it worked as intended: learner clicks either buttons and is returned to slide_menu. If the learner has viewed both, it jumps to the activity (slide #36).
After I applied the rollover captions, the button 1's behavior does not follow the conditions, i.e. I start with button #2 > slide 35 > slide_menu > button #1 > slide 34 > slide 35 > slide 36. It should not go to slide 35 a second time.
Does this help? Much obliged!

OSB conditional branches

Hi,
I have problem with conditional branches in OSB.
I have 2 business services and 1 proxy service which route message to one of 2 business services.
Conditional branch look like this:
XPath: ./ter:process/ter:provider
In Variable: provider
TerminalKingBranch look like this:
Label: TerminalKing
Operator: =
Value: "King"
Message is never routed by TerminalKingBranch even message is <ter:process><ter:provider>King</ter:provider></ter:process>
I try repalce double quotes with single quotes without effect.
Message is always routed by Default route node.
Please help.
Thanks.

Error using conditional branch node in OSB

Hi,
We are using Oracle Service Bus in our project. I have created the following steps in the OSB Proxy Service:
1) Assigning a value in a variable inside a request pipeline.
2) I am using a Conditional Branch after the pipelined pair. The branching will happen according to the value of that variable, I assigned in the pipelined pair.
Here we are getting an error in OSB test console:
The invocation resulted in an error: Unknown error while processing message for service ProxyService MHEducation/CCAuthorization/CCAuthorizationProxyService.
I am getting the following log in the console:

check if your conditional branch uses quotes around the compaired value
so
/body/myinput = 'myvalue' instead of
/body/myinput = myvalue

Unable to use X Query function in the conditional branch of Proxy Service

Hi all,
I need to check the string length of a node then depending on that have to call two different business services. i have added a conditional branch inside
the proxy service. Now when I use the below expression in the I get an error
fn:string-length(./braz:BrazilianPropertyAddress/braz:postcode)
in variable i have given body
I am getting the following error
X path expression invalid not a selection declare namespace jca ="" ......................
If I give the expression without any stringlength function there is no problem
Kindly help

Conditional Branch after an service callout

Hi All
I am new to configuring services in OSB.What i want to do is first call a service and depending upon the returned value ,route to other services.But the result of the service callout is availabe in a variable ,say responseBody,and for conditional branch we need only xpath/xquery to test conditions.
Please Help.

Conditional Branch Execution?

OK, Newbie here (and a bit frustrated). First application in the works.
I have 2 ways to get to a page. When I click on the "Create" button, I want to return to the page that called the current page.
Call them pages 1, 2 and 3.
The default branching (unconditional branch) is 1 to 3 back to 1. This is a report to form back to report. This is the structure generated when I added the page when I initially generated the application.
The secondary branching (conditional branch) is 2 to 3 back to 2.
I set the sequence of the branches to do the conditional branch 1st then the unconditional branch 2nd.
The "back to 2" is the problem.
When I set it to "Unconditional" it works. When I set a condition it doesn't work.
I tried "Request = Expression 1". I set the REQUEST in the button on page 2 to a specific value ("RETURN_TO_2"), but I suspect that when I click the "CREATE" on page 3 the REQUEST value is set to something else.
So I tried saving the value of the REQUEST from page 2 in a page item on page 3 (P3_X) and used "Value of Expression 1 = Expression 2".
I tried "P3_X", ":P3_X", "&P3_X", "v('P3_X')" in Expression 1 and RETURN_TO_2, "RETURN_TO_2" in Expression 2 (I think all possible combination of the to expressions).
None of the combinations does the conditional branch!
Any suggestions as to where I should go next?
Thanks - JR

John:
I have found it helpful to use the 'Branch to Page Identified by Item (Use Item Name) ' type of branch in such cases.
I specify the the page to return to in an application_item. The application_item itself is populated by a before header application_process. So if 'G_DEST' is the application item then the application_process simply is
:g_DEST:= :app_page_id;In your case the branch defined in page 3 will be of the 'Branch to Page Identified by Item (Use Item Name) ' type and use the application_item 'G_DEST' as the item that holds the page-number that is to be the destination for the branch.

Conditional branching in ALSB

Hi,
I have used a conditional branch inside (jms based) ALSB proxy which branches out based on the value of JMS header.The requirement is to shift control to a single branch for multiple values i.e:
If
./ctx:transport/ctx:request/tp:headers/jms:JMSCorrelationID/text() in variable inbound
has value:
GI_1 or GI_2 or GI_3 then route to GI branch
VB then route to VB branch etc
For more than 1 value (i.e GI_1,GI_2,GI_3),control needs to be shifted to a specific branch.
I have tried using OR without success.Any suggestions as to how to implement this.
Thanks.

Conditional Branching in Oracle Service Bus

Can anyone help me to find one sample project on Conditional Branch in OSB.
The main difficulty I am facing is to fetch the plain text value (which will be used to choose the branch) from an xml node using XPath.
I think one example project on Conditional Branching in OSB will be very much helpful.
Can anyone help me please.

No, there is no such constraint to implement Service Key Provider while using HTTPS call, We can also use Username and Password (basic Authentication) method.

Conditional Branching with quiz slides not working

Attempting to use conditional branches with quiz slidescauses
the other quiz slides in my presentation to not work correctly. I
am attempting to create a 'test-out' pre-quiz for a segment of
slides in the presentation. I followed the instructions to add
conditional branching per page 46 of the Breeze Presenter User
Guide to obviously no avail. Is there a simple straightfoward
manner in which someone has successfully used conditional branches
with their quiz slides in their presentation?

Hi,
I had the same issue.Apparently as of now PDF templates do not support conditional formatting for XML Publisher.
See Tim Dexter's response to my query at the bottom of this thread...
Re: Using the '%' operator in microsoft word template builder for XMLP
I could get some conditional formatting to work on the pdf template but only for the form field font,size and styles using Javascript, but I don't think there is a way to display values for the form field based on an if condition...

Conditional Branch Node in OSB

I was checking in the forum and i found a similiar issue but i saw that it was not answered. Do you know which is the reason to this issue in conditional branchs on OSB?
Regards
Yuri

Hi Yuri,
From the OSB documentation -
Conditional branching is driven by a lookup table with each branch tagged with a simple, but unique, string value. A variable in the message context is designated as the lookup variable for that node, and at run time, its value is used to determine which branch to follow. If no branch matches the value of the lookup variable, the default branch is followed. You should design the proxy service in such a way that the value of the lookup variable is set before reaching the branch node.Does your case fulfill above criteria? Please let us know your use case in detail.
Regards,
Anuj

Conditional branching in OSB

Hi,
I wan to use conditional branching in OSB for a WSDL WS.I am not able to use operationl branching because the method names and request message names are different.
I want to do conditional branching based on operations or request messages.
For example if operation name and request msgs are as below,
add , addRequest
minus , minusRequest
What should I give for the "Selected path" and "variable" in the condtions?
Thanks.

Can you paste the Message section please, where you are defining the Part of request and response.
The part should be element based and not type based for Operational Branching to work.
